Probably the last tomato basil salad of the season.

(Basil plant is now bare; farmers market likely won't have recent heritage tomatoes until next year; tho I did set one tomato aside for another BLT later 🥪)
A stainless steel mixing bowl full of roughly large-diced heritage tomatoes in gold, red & shades between, plus some bits of fresh green basil, and a rubber spatula.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it
Very colorful cover of Motor Cycle by the band Daniel Amos. A bright orange balloon with fantasy-art-style sails tethered to a dangling orange antique motorcycle with a side car. Black stencils of the band members faces on the balloon surface. Against a background of sky blue, as a couple of cartoon figures with propellers on their backs carry a banner with the band’s name on it.

I got “First to Die” like 3 times in a row so … sure why not

just saw somebody refer to Miller as "Pee Wee Himmler" & am now dead

Screenshot of Miller from a CNN interview with a tight little gray suit & dorky head in a fascist-compatible aesthetic echo of the PeeWee Herman costume

Posting as spell casting … and other insights.
Including this banger at the end.
Like the astral plane described in Theosophy, the internet is a parallel dimension layered over our reality. It’s a place where thoughts take on form, distortions masquerade as truths, and some people return damaged from staying too long. It’s not just a metaphor; it’s a way to understand why online life feels haunted, why attention itself has power, and why the stakes of digital culture so often spill over into physical life.

Reminds me of the “Moolatte”

www.fastfoodmenuprices.com/wp-content/u...
Several plastic cups with frozen drinks in them and whipped cream on top, with various toppings on the whipped cream - like chocolate & caramel syrup, and cookie crumbs - all have the logo “MooLatté”

These tomatoes are a work of art.
Almost hate to chop them for the salsa.
Two tomatoes cut in half with their cut sides visible — both are colorfully marbled with pretty patterns. One is mostly green with some pink; another is yellow and white around the outer layers and a vivid watermelon red in the center. A metal mixing bowl filling with the chopped tomatoes and some onions and garlic, on the way to being salsa.

BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK 1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong. 2. Don't trust anonymous sources. 3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information. 4. There's almost never a second shooter. 5. Pay attention to the language the media uses. • "We are getting reports"... could mean anything. • "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it. • "[News outlet] has learned". "... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb. 6. Look for news outlets close to the incident. 7. Compare multiple sources. 8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers. 9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you. ON THE MEDIA

Dr. I trust more than RFK Jr
Roy Scheider as Doctor Benway in the film Naked Lunch - middle aged dark haired man in glasses and a well-tailoreddark suit jacket, dress shirt and tie. He sitting at his desk in an old-fashioned early-to-mid 20th century medical office with wooden glass cabinets of medicine bottles in the background, and he is holding a vial of something and saying something to someone off camera.

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

a nice cucumber, tomato, basil salad with super fresh local ingredients (our basil) … summer in a bowl
A bowl of the ingredients mentioned, chunked and mixed together. Next to a smaller serving bowl of same ingredients with a fork in it. All on top of a light wood grain cutting board.

I had never actually watched Flash Gordon (1980) before.
This movie is wack y'all.

A maniacally grinning character in thick brown beard wearing a gold spiked helm, and armored wings. Vultan from the movie.

In a talk I did last year, I made this comparison of “AI” and opiate-based “medicines” before medicine was more regulated.
The comparison gets more apt as time passes.
Opiates are powerful & safe for specific issues.
But it can also trick you into thinking you’re getting better as you get sicker.

Robot Chicken was way ahead on this
Robot chicken tv show title card for their stop motion animated skit about “Li’l Hitler” — showing a marionette head and shoulders “Hitler” with the appropriate mustache centered in concentric red circles (similar to the famous Warner Brothers animation title screen) and a stylized “Li’l Hitler” in shining white block letters above his head.

Relatedly…thinking lately how rich people were portrayed in afternoon reruns I grew up watching.
Consider The Howells.
As an adult, it’s clear they were extractive, self-absorbed leeches. Clueless who to be if not “the rich” & useless outside the system that made them. i.pinimg.com/736x/06/e4/c...
The characters Mrs and Mr Howell in a color still from 1960s tv show “Gilligan’s Island”. Both in casual “dinner dress” appropriate for their yachting lifestyle. Straw walls of huts in the background.

Just one instance but so encouraging that somebody in this demographic gets it.

bronxite1910 As an elderly white male that has lived in the Bronx for 35 years I do not recognize the New York City you inhabit. My congressional district is about 91 percent "minority" and 9 percent "white". I have never been mugged or even assaulted in all those years. When I am standing in a crowded bus, a younger person often says: "Papi, take my seat". I say: "Thank you" and sit down, to smiles all around. Mine (Kingsbridge) is a great neighborhood even for a non-Spanish-speaker like me. I am not bothered that I cannot understand most conversations of my neighbors. We nod and smile at each other as we pass in the street. Maybe you would feel better about your city if you relaxed a bit and smiled more. 6/25/25 - 3:24PM

Everything is awful today but there's at least this quintessentially Philly-vibes discourse on Reddit …
Original Reddit post in Philly subreddit: “How do you reheat a cheesesteak? Let’s say I got a cheesesteak and only ate half of it, what’s the best way to reheat the other half? Scoop the meat out in a pan and toast the bread? Keep it in the foil and bake the whole thing? Eat it cold (this has to be wrong). Fuck Dallas, go birds!” Highest voted answer: “Eating it cold is the only way. Hopefully, this will teach you a lesson and you will eat the whole thing in one sitting next time.” Original Poster reply: “I think I might smash that jawn right now”

Philly metro around 8 pm last night.
So many trees down y'all. So many.

just ran across it in my photos … beautiful stuff
An ad on the mobile Reddit app, showing a woman in a black body lying face down on a black massage table and two sturdy robot arms extended over her back and massaging her. “AI runs your phone, your playlists…. Now it powers your massage” “1 scan - 1.2 million points - 1 unforgettable massage)
