A light fixture holds a large light circular lightbulb as it glows faintly against a gray sky. It's from the angle of looking up it and the bulb is slightly dirty just above the base of where the black fixture holds it. In the background a similar light fixture is not glowing.

The bust of a pigeon figurine. Its red upper chest is just over some red graffiti on a sidewalk where it looks like the pigeon is just inside a red box that then extends to a red line that goes up and through a yellow line over to some marks that indicate something construction-related. A ChilltownBlues.com photo.

Taty for the quiet win:
“We will not launch any more fireworks, Caramelo does not like them. Out of respect for him, we will not use them. You can see that he is there, quietly enjoying the show."

This comic by Chilltown Blues was a metaphor for how Reagan administration's policies helped mold areas of the Bronx and Chilltown to this very day. See: www.chilltownblues.com/p/a-chilltow...
Satire and reality are apparently not that far apart.

Comic shows President Reagan walking down a street in NYC with a boombox playing a remixed version of Public Enemy's "Fight the Power." This fictional version starts with "Don't! ...) To the right of Reagan, someone yells, "No one needs to hear that!"
