The Saint Louis Art Museum has stepped-up with Anselm Kiefer’s ‘Becoming the Sea’ exhibit. I haven’t read any reviews yet but these large scale mixed media paintings 2021 - 25 are other worldly. Some are over 32 ft tall. As a fair weather fan of his past installations, these paintings are epic! #art

Saw Groundhog Day last night and it’s so funny to me that Bill Murray’s character tried killing himself like 20 different ways before thinking “You know what, maybe I’ll read a book”

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

On a long enough timeline, Lego will eventually make a set that is irresistible to you. That first satisfying little CLICK tugs a string in your amygdala. Before you know it, you find yourself suckin dicks for Legos in a back alley. The only way out is death.

Day two of my IBEW apprenticeship. So far I’ve learned some useful trade skills but also that sunscreen does not in fact work very well if you are constantly sweating.
