I was actually at this particular performance. It was as mesmerizing as it sounds here.

A photo of a sunrise where the sun is obscured by clouds but still visible and the clouds generally are showing little pockets of bright blue that looks more vivid because I ratcheted up the colors. Oh and a tree line is visible as an outline on the bottom of the photo along with one or two blocky buildings

Any infrastructure/history nerds know what this circle is about? I feel like I have a memory of something about old wells?
A circle kind of cut and made with other cobblestones in a cobblestone street on Wall Street

Damn so The Philadelphia Museum of Art just rebranded and they are getting DRAGGED in the comments www.instagram.com/p/DPjhWysk5q...
COMMENTS We still remember you trying to union bust Reply View 1 more reply el 21m Wow. Maybe you need to reflect a bit longer. PMA is iconic. PAM not so much. Also in my 39 yeas I have not one time heard this called "the Philadelphia Art Museum" Reply View 1 more reply o 13m "We wanted to embrace the Philadelphia community!" "We hired a design studio from Brooklyn to embrace the Philadelphia community!" Brilliant. Reply it 15m Whyyyyyy didn't you work with a Philly agency on this?! There are so many amazingly talented humans in PHL COMMENTS This looks terrible. Looks like a communist, Cold War inspired, logo. I would get rid of this "rebrand" asap. Reply View 1 more reply smokevevi gstaad 2h The rebranding is ugly and cold. Reply berger 1h An unnecessary change. The museum will always be PMA, not PAM Reply * Truly unnecessary and disrespectful to the MA's history to change the name right betore the 150th anniversary. What a waste of resources during a time of precarious arts funding. Reply View 1 more reply ugag n 26m Hmm I'd say locals call it "the art museum" not the Philadelphia Art Museum. I think that's an important difference in semantics COMMENTS baby, the logo is giving 1939 Berlin. Reply 6m Very Philadelphia Mills of you Reply ianeellen7 27m The museum needed bolder branding, yes This feels cheesy and a little out of touch. Second I saw it I said I bet they worked with an NYC agency and sure enough, they did. Reply 33m Seems silly, why? Reply 34m Reply ar 51ml This all makes me so sad. I know it's not a big deal, but it feels like a corporation stomping on beautiful things. Comments • 2h Bummer you didn't pick an agency from Philly for the rebrand. Reply View 1 more reply Hidden by Instagram This is def not the reflection we wanted you to make Reply 19m That website is a joke too. Facism in the arts. Reply • 20m Stop reflecting cause it looks like shit. Imma cancel my membership because yall playing in my face, Philly face and your employees face. Reply Fascism is here Reply View 2 more replies

love the cover for this 1994 release
album cover featuring a middle-aged woman with a very soft greenish glow around her holding a tanpura that looks to be mid-strum, and scripty font that says "Morning Ragas" and underneath in serif "(Hindustani - Vocal)" as well as "Singer: Meera Savoor Lyrics: Traditional"

First Light with Man on East Village Radio starts now: eastvillageradio.com/first-light-...

Tune in for two hours of Ambient, New Age, Classical Indian, and Spiritual Jazz.

I'll thread some thoughts about the show here, if you don't want to follow tap the three dots then "Mute thread" 🥹☀️
Watercolor painting of a person’s head and shoulders against a softly blended background of pastel yellows, purples, and blues. The figure gazes sideways with a calm, neutral expression. Instead of just two eyes, they have four additional eyes stacked vertically on their forehead, creating a surreal, dreamlike effect. The overall palette is light and ethereal, with delicate shading and soft textures framed by a blue border. The work is "Retrospective" by Christa London.

Seriously can’t get over how insane of a stat this is. Like the level of bonkers is off the charts. I’m not trying to be dramatic but is there any other example of a player dominating this hard in any other professional sport ever?
