Album cover of a group of people posing ridiculously, dressed in black, caught in a spotlight in front of a brick wall. For some reason.

Long slow run today, 20km and I’m wiped out. Almost ready for a 1/2 marathon. #running #runsky
Packed dirt path through a park with trees and a picnic table nearby. Multi use path through an urban park. Green grass and blue sky. Creek beside the running path with purple wild flowers, grass and bushes near the water.

As seen on a morning walk
A sign on a fence saying “F*ck Trump Buy Canadian”. Signs in front of a house with pro-Canadian, anti-Trump and anti-Maga slogans.

Reposting to protect the guilty. Strange text from a bot or a maybe an oligarch?
Strange demanding text for a Dean (not me) to help with luxury yacht. Trolling ensued.

I rewatched this after 15+ years. Still great and relevant (conspiracy thinking and MAD) Peter Sellars is magnificent.
