This comic comes to mind. Always.
Matt Bors comic of a peasant with a bundle of sticks on bis back saying: “We should improve society somewhat.” And a Modern Chad is popping out of a water well, saying: “Yet you participate in society. Curious!” And adds: “I am very intelligent.” A feudal castle is in the background, somewhat reminiscent of Monty Python’s Search for the Holy Grail.

And one more

It was I, Love, that sent eyes into the world
It was I, Love, that sent eyes into the world, Love that Knocked holes in the skull and shoved The tongue out. In there, something for which no experience exists. Oh, polish it! Burnish! And yes, something like fingers are rubbing, Massaging. Keep at it! Running Makes it visible. A form. Antlers grown from the skull, cold prong of sharpness, spicule, barb. An idea. oh, idea sealed off like a tomb! As if a kiss with long velvet gloves were stalking, sneaking up on the darkness starting to thaw, to wake up like a gong. The darkness gaining consciousness. Oh, give it to me! The full glare of that looking! Shall I call it Psyche, that looking? Shall I call it Soul, those eyes—newcut, sharp and ferocious

From my favorite poem ever: “Erotikon” by Susan Mitchell

Giddyap says the ocean, sometimes
1. Some things are still going on, even though it’s late, it’s dark. Gravity, for example, the pill the earth exerts on the moon and the moon on the ocean. Listening to the tides sweep through the darkness (higher over there, a little lower here), I come to a moment when the ocean lets out a sigh like a train pulling into a station. Its doors slide open, but no one climbs aboard the astral glare of ante meridian. Giddyap, says the ocean, sometimes

(Surprising no one) Samsung SmartTVs (and any device/app affiliated) are police surveillance systems.
Part of an updated Privacy Policy for Samsung’s “SmartThings” app, with a highlighted portion stating that Samsung will share all data collected with government if needed (paraphrasing), including for “purposes of law enforcement, national security, anti-terrorism, or other issues that are related to public security.”

Buc-ee’s Dark Ritual
A statue of the bronze Buc-ees beaver with 5 traffic cones strategically placed at the 5 points of a pentagram star etched in the concrete in front of a Buc-ees gas station.

Agenbite (Poem) Today we are nothing. Every city has a sound- Memory, every peace a noise. New York, piano. Chicago trumpets. Choir to the Lou. Decatur, my hometown, An entire woodwind section. The rustle of Corn sheaves. Today we are- Drums. I once saw a gun in every mouth. Nothing Moves faster than untruth verified. (Shortest Distance between two points, sixteen-year- Old me said--not a line. But a lie. Remove the N. Shorter still.) Nobody claps. All I see are- Drums. The again-biting, like a gnaw-noise, wisp- Of-Stagnation, what echoes heartwise. Otranto Found a helmet. Nell found her rabbits. Navidson In his childhood. All had doors. None hyperborean. Upon my back I carry the house of childhood, Hear the primordial primrose purrs of a siamese Stretch in infancy all the way here, like a tree of lightning Parallel ground. Boom goes the cat-feet. Boom Goes the storm. Boom in the silence-born. Boom In the hallways. Boom between the gaps. Boom where the God should be. The inwit breathing--biting--again--

I've been a little busy on Minecraft. I wondered how big I could make the map. So far, a lot.
A wall map if 15x15 Minecraft maps. Each individual map space takes roughly an hour and a half to fill in completely. It looks huge. It could also be used as a big map for a novel one might be writing. Unsure if that's connected to what this screenshot shows.

Antigua #worstpanoramaever
A panorama of cabbage proportions. A beautiful blue sea with a single cloud that streeeeeeeeeetches out. The land obliges, stretching to infinite. Until it ends. An awkward pic, for sure.

Antigua

The museum was BRUTAL.
Pic of a sidewalk with white busses on the right side and palm trees on the left. A vibrant woodcut of “Rastapasta hangs to the right of the walkway, with “One Love” beneath a three color chunk of driftwood: Red, Yellow, Green. The walkway is deserted all the way to a building inc the distance. Puffy cumulous clouds set against a blue sky between the buildings. Panorama view of Antigua from a ship: railings, infinity pool, and loungers frame the extreme sides, while a picturesque concrete dock and smudges of houses fill the lower half. Bright blue sky with cumulous clouds fill the top half. A green, green sea separates the dock and the shoreline.

Missing this one in particular.
A tortie cat staring happily at the camera, sitting on a bustling and busy desk. The backdrop is a whole lot of office stuff, and a wall of ochre orange color.

A few pics.
An old flyer for the Botello Gallery in Italian, highlighting Botello’s iconic work. A gold-gilt wood frame has it hanging in the kitchen. A shot of a closed-off balcony with a bronze-cast statue holding an umbrella to one side and hand out, looking for rain. The vibe is playful and childlike. A gold tile counter is on the bottom of the pic, with a wall of lush greenery to the left, a fountain beneath. Lots of clay tiles and a red clay bench to sit on. Pic of an immaculate kitchen with French tiles and French inlay plates. The top of the grill contains Christian figurines carved of wood and a wooden cross. Bright colors, mixed with blue patterns. A woodcut by Botello of the virgin Mary and Jesus son, with a field of crosses behind. Mary holds what looks like an apple, and Jesus, in her hand, holds one as well.

#UndergroundSea
A photo of a bluegreen aquamarine underground freshwater sea. The water is thick with dissolved limestone and full of blurry Blind salmon excited to be fed by the boat swain. A single distant light illuminates the broad cave ceiling and the water to create an eerie glow. It looks enchanting and surreal.

Illinois friends! Listeria outbreak. Surely unrelated to the enshittification, the reporting seems… easily distracted by other news. One might even say artificially intelligenced. But who knows anymore?
Text from the document: “The CDC reported that there have been 20 cases, 19 hospitalizations and four deaths across 15 states. The deaths occurred in Illinois, Michigan, Texas, and Utah. All of the recalled contaminated products are no longer for sale, but health officials warn consumers that they may still be in freezers or refrigerators. (The next part is highlighted by the poster) It comes after the TSA completely banned 16 items - including a popular phone - from all flights.”

Cuppa
Picture of a coffee-speckled-colored tortie cat in a “cup” of fabric. A careful overview shows a dim, green eye looking at the camera, as if saying, “Come on, dad. Put that stupid thing away. It’s too early!”

Here are numbers 3 and 4 in the crew. Count Dante, “Lady Crow” Fiddle.
Dante, a tabby cat, almost sleeping beside the photograph taker, eyeing the camera. He is stretched out with his belly up! A pic of a tortie, Fiddle, sleeping on a charging laptop, on a somewhat messy but far cleaner desk than it was a few hours earlier. Said desk is far messier now, but the viewer wouldn’t know it.

Since it’s almost over, here’s my Summer reading list! Yay. Lots to learn and grow from. Continuing my Journey to the West, an impulse buy gone wrong (Endymion), some philosophical writings, a collection of short stories, and a problematic novel worth reading.

What’s YOUR summer reading list?
A photo of 7 books. Clockwise from upper left: The Journey to the West Volume II; Endymion: the State of Entropy (worst book I have ever read. Ever.); Heidegger and the Language of Poetry; The Grand Continuum: Reflections on Joyce and Metaphysics; Shadow and Claw: First half of Book Of the New Sun; Other Worlds: Collected Stories; Post Captain. Closeup of a hard-to-read title: The Grand Continuum: Reflections on Joyce and Metaphysics.

Watching Bulletproof Monk with my wingman, Dante, who took a break from chasing his sister to hang.
Point of View from a couch, facing a cat tree and showing shoeless white boy feet and uninteresting jeans. The upper left corner has the glow of a TV. Lower right corner, beside the jeans, a curious tabby cat stares after an unseen distraction, his sister.

Keeks on parade, a Timeline Cleanse.
Pic of a guy (me) in boat-friendly-adjacent-colored shorts on a bed with a tiny tortie cat sitting on what my wife calls my “diaper shorts,” which are indeed sweatshorts with badass drawstrings on them. The tortie is cute. Pic of a 27 lb chonker of a tuxedo cat laying sideways on a purple blanket. He may indeed be planning how to take over the world. He’s a grandpa. A pic of a bigeye tabbie cat looking soulfully to the camera from the comfort of a person’s (me) lap. The computer desk identifies that, yes, I am trying to get work done and no, am not succeeding at it. Pic of two tailless sibling cats, one tabbie, one tortie, laying across the couch and its inhabitant: me. The tabbie is stretching his lil keek paws across my stomach while looking at the camera. With wiles.

From the City Museum in St. Louis. Brilliant.
A tiled floor mosaic of fish in schools and close up. An astonishing and fantastic lineup of movement across the floor. Not shown: a massive white whale that one can enter where the schools of fish terminate (or begin?).

My travel buddy while I’m outta town.
A pic of a man’s torso sitting on a futon, with a little Easy Squeeze bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch sidling up to his leg. It’s cute. Small. Definitely friendly. And it goes well with supreme pizza.

Photo drop. Fiddle daydreaming about feet. While falling asleep on her favorite foot.
A pic of a tiny tortie cat, eyes open, wrapped around a white dude’s foot. She looks so happy.

A little Whiskey. A little The Rock on TV. We are moving in nicely.
An image of a bartop with a blurry Bourbon bottle on the left (Dread River, based in Birmingham) and an empty shot glass in the foreground. In the mid ground, the butt of a tailless tortie cat. In the background, a TV has the image of Nicolas Cage with a gun under his nose and Sean Connery’s cheek. The subtitles say, “(Earnest) Goodspeed, have you remedied the situation?” It’s a great movie and an excellent way to end the night. Honestly. Haven’t seen it since it was in theaters in ‘96.

Exhibit 2: Johnny Storm's Magical Seven Fingers; Sue Storm's Crumpled and Floating Fingers; Uniformed Clothing Broken and Awkward; Concrete bench-of-many-levels. What is this Nastiness?
A clearly AI generated image of the Fantastic Four crew looking vaguely human but with clear anatomical issues. They are wearing astronaut suits that seem built from four separate countries' desperate takes on an instruction manual.

I mean, seriously. Who looks at this and says, "Yeah. This looks GREAT."
A strange, wonky image of the Fantastic 4 superheroes, in full blue costume and white belt, walking in slow-and-wonky motion away from the Statue of Liberty and an AI-generated vision of Galactus, the Big Bad Evil Guy from the new movie. It looks terrible. It looks fake as hell. It looks like someone airbrushed the side of a windowless black van with meticulous care. But it's still airbrushed-looking.
