Late to the party, but this article from music blog Brooklyn Vegan on modern hardcore is introducing me to a lot of cool stuff. ๐ŸŽต

Iโ€™m in a diner and Ho Hey by The Lumineers is playing. I looked up and saw the 1800 Cars for Kids ad on a muted TV. Itโ€™s the spot where children play rock instruments along to the jingle. For a brief moment, I thought that the kids were playing The Lumineers song.

It was horrible.

Bush Terminal Park.

Choppy water with a stormy sky. New York City in the distance. Teenagers sit on rocks in the foreground, facing away from the camera, their long hair whipping in the wind. &10;

I pushed up the color vibrancy on this photo of a warehouse near sunset park and like the surreal effect.

Another doodle. I’m proud of the sense of movement and adventure in this one.

Publishing some of my old doodles. This one done on the iPad.

Why is all software โ€œblazingโ€ fast? Itโ€™s like they ran out of adjunctives.

Today at improv practice I was gifted a stage moniker: โ€œFish DeLucaโ€. Thereโ€™s no way to explain it, but this is a game changer for me.

Finished reading: Neuromancer by William Gibson ๐Ÿ“š

Itโ€™s in some ways a retro future, others impossibly far off, and still others very present.

Itโ€™s so slathered in invented lingo that I found it hard to follow at points, but I was content to let the overall effect wash over me.

Me: terrified of the climate crisis

Also me: sometimes finds pollution beautiful.

I just saw a tourism add for New Brunswick, Canada, but I thought it was for New Brunswick New Jersey and I nearly shit.

Downtown sunset park.

A desaturated city street. No one in frame. No cars moving. The walk sign is red, itโ€™s luminescence glowing against the grey. &10;

I had the Pollo Asado at this amazing hole in the wall in Sunset Park Brooklyn. So good. I had it hours ago and I’m still tired.

Playing around with @halide@mastodon.social. I don’t know much about #photography, but finding it fun so far.

There’s so much incredible new things in #css these days, I just want to take a moment to reflect on the simple power of * + *.

Had the pleasure of performing improv with my team Loose Corn at Bird and Friends: Cosmic Unity. Bird created such an incredible vibe, the place was packed, and the energy was rocking. Here we are posing for our album cover. #improv

Does anyone know of an iOS camera app where I can disable AI smoothing? Looking for lense captured film grain. #photography

Today in Union Square, but imagine The Offspring blasting from a boombox.

People are sitting and relaxing on benches lining a tree-filled, paved park pathway on a sunny day.

Today on the subway, a guy is feeding his tiny kitten. The kitty is very calm in the carrier and is very cute.

I’ve successfully migrated my blog to micro.blog! There’s still work to do, including migrating my old theme, as well as finding a home for interactive posts that could move, but overall it’s all here. Let me know what I missed!

A whimsical blue creature with large eyes is depicted holding a knife above a pink skull with the phrase Stab! Stab! Stab! Your Local Bigot alongside various stickers on a green mailbox.

I honestly love the subway. Where else could you see these two people doing the same thing together apart?

Two men are sitting next to each other on a subway, both focused on their smartphones.

My friend Frank unearthed 35mm photos he took in college. This is me at 22. That surprised look was permanent.
