Building that became Pappy's Smokehouse, as it appeared in 1961 (It was built in the 50s, iirc) The multistory building to the left at the corner of Cardinal & Pine St was the Elks Lodge, also hosted a number of very swanky clubs in the 1940s like Club Rhumboogie

People who were not at all nice to me in high school are messaging me on IG to say they're excited to see my prints at the sale on Friday.

Reminds me of Ferguson where they fired expired teargas canisters off West Florissant into people's backyards

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Independent of this statement, a good way of describing a huge chunk of the internet is “rapists running content and bot farms to make their pet issues seem more important”, that’s basically half the traffic on X at this point.

Robocop is a movie about a guy who gets killed on the job and they still made him go back to work

Mike Shildt's curse is that since he was unreservedly let go by Mo and the Cardinals despite his popularity with fans and players, Cardinals have sucked

Washu because they laid a bunch of people off?

This whole proposal is a mess in a myriad of ways, and I don't trust the tax generation numbers at all, but it is good to see a rather firm swearing off of tax abatement by SLU/Midtown Redevelopment. BoA should terminate the existing TIF encompassing the site, though.

I really just once a reporter would reply “oh are you gonna cry about it”

Legitimately disgusting that were getting legal rigging of elections and nobody cares in the media or the electorate. This is not that functionally different than tossing out thousands of votes to help your side win.

Something the Board of Aldermen can do is amend the ordinance governing tax incentives to prohibit source of income discrimination for those developments. We don't want to incentivize discrimination.

"Trump’s Addiction to Watching Fox Is Killing American Democracy"

Our country is falling apart because one old man, Trump advisers and former administration officials say, won’t stop ‘yelling’ at his TV, writes Zeteo's @swin24.bsky.social:

Ricky is throwing up again and I'm despondent. I just paid off the 3k debt from this summers surgery

The makeshift bus stop benches are so great and beautiful

we need to abolish this shit

Retired firefighter reached out to me wanting me to color more fire department related photos, which I'm now considering, but got me to dig into my old stuff to find one of my favorites from 2023.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

"Sinister, Malevolent, Venomous: Stephen Miller Is Like No Other White House Aide in Modern US History"

Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured & dangerous psyche. But now Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

I don’t wait for permission to fight for what’s right. I’m running to represent Missouri’s First because our community deserves a leader who shows up when it’s hardest and fights for all of us with courage.

Thanks for having me, @velshi.com @msnbc.com. #CoriForUs

Cars. Ruin. Everything.

uh those labels are hard to see, whoops, but from left to right it's Church of the Messiah, Liquid Carbonic (401 Edwin, still there, you can see it from the highway on the southside, it has a grocery ghost sign), midtown hotel, vashon high school, johnson school, St. Malachy and the compton bridge

New post, mostly for the uninitiated in doing photo research on Mill Creek with the Swekosky collection. Basic stuff. Not impressive. Also only one colorization because I've only ever done one using his photos.
