PBS says I’m an Artist. Creative with a home base in the little city of Rochester NY.

Do you think the presidency and representatives of the U.S. will ever get back to a point where there is almost zero tolerance for blatant crime and money laundering? Having 300+ accounts for Trump closed by Capital One would have been weeks of news and have a decent president forced to step down.

Just saw a Kalshi ad that starts off with “do you trust your weather app?” Meaning they are pushing the ads narrative that their gambling app w/ their data, random guesses from their user base, is somehow the more logical choice than the entire meteorological branch of sciences & NOAA itself…

Siiiiigh. Decided to take time and work at a diner. Figured it would be nice to get back in this habit. Only to find out both my iPad and my battery backup didn’t charge last night… Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Seeing the sister of Lyndsey Graham, with literally zero experience, getting appointed to his job, is just pointing out that it’s apparently not a hard job being a senator if you can literally drop any random person in there at any time without worry. I’m just so tired of the stupidity.

Sure I just watched a whole thing on the 2026 Japanese Stationery Awards. Cool stuff like that I always love to see. Gadgets and everyday awesomeness like a good pen or erasure that works speaks to me.

Had an idiot post I had TDS, I kept messing with him saying I don't have Trump 'Devotion' Syndrome. That he did. He argued how it's derangement, & just kept responding. I asked why he's saying he's deranged, etc. Wasted an hour of his time till he blocked me. Things I do on my lunch break to cope...

Three U.S. Presidents have died on July 4th, all in years ending in 6. Thomas Jefferson - 1826 John Adams - 1826 James Madison - 1836 In other news Trump announced he will give a 2 hour speech at DC rally at 1pm on the 4th of July… where it’s expected to be +100 degrees w/ high humidity.

If this is double stuffed I shudder to comprehend the atom wide layer the thin Oreos must be. This is shockingly sad that this is what double stuff Oreos have become. Out of curiosity; Does anyone know of similar cookies brands that offer what double stuff originally was?

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

wtf… Apple products have really gotten bad. Phone has issues constantly. But now my iPad & iPhone can’t see each other for airdrop. (Even when everyone is selected) iMessage isn’t syncing. THEN at 3am last night my iPad “findmy” alert goes off & I get an alert it was just added to my products?!?

I don’t know how to put into words how absolutely horrendous a medical warehouse fire is at a time that Trump has fucked up the global economy and trade. The products in that building weren’t all made there. It’s just shipped from other countries. The ripples from this event might be devastating.

Weird thing for today: Had to finally unfriend the dude from that 80s band Was (not Was) from Facebook. I had completely forgotten he added me as a friend back when I was in the software industry. He’s going off on pro-Trump stuff. You can walk that dinosaur right the fuck outta here…

A giant middle finger statue facing City Hall in NYC.😅 I have to chuckle; doubt sculptor Lovaido realizes how little effect that would have on the mayor. it’s pretty much the NYC hand gesture of choice. Momdani should laugh, flip off the camera, say thanks for agreeing art & speech are important.

Sad I couldn't make the Roc Indie Comic Expo, but I do want to say that the poster for it has to be one of the best rochester posters I've ever seen. Don't know who made it, but please give them a high-five for me if you do.
