I make and build things and see the world as a stranger. I got big plans and things are afoot, iron in the fire, paint on the palette, etc. Stay tuned!

Hello @ppfideas.bsky.social I've been enjoying the PPF podcast for a few months now and find it to be truly wonderful. I'm not sure if this film has ever come up in any discussions, but I just discovered 1971's "Punishment Park" and thought it would make good fodder for an episode. Cheers, Fredbo

Exciting day! I just delivered my new work at Broad and Belvidere Contemporary Art in Nazareth, PA. "The Plight of Persephone" Mixed Media 36" x 20" x 74"

A lot has happened in the past 3 months. My mom becoming ill and dying in that time being the most surreal occurrence. Parallel to her becoming ill I began work on my first serious piece of art in years. An elegy to her it will be exhibited at Broad and Belvidere Contemporary Art this month. #Art

Ya know. It really stinks when you're using a pipe tap to clean the vent hole threads on a 100+ year old cast iron radiator, and despite using tool oil as well as being as gentle as possible, said tap breaks off in the hole. Now I must remove the 200 lbs. radiator and see if I can get the tap out.

The Spanish Inquisition was a Christian enterprise. History shows that "Christian values" (or any values for that matter) are not much of a moral impediment to people that want to do heinous things.

I wonder whether at some point people who are currently Christian nationalists are going to figure out that Christianity isn’t actually a good fit for their core values - too much empathy, helping the downtrodden, etc - and just become pagan nationalists or something.

You know it's tremendously demoralizing to be a 51 year old who finds a kernel of funny amidst this accelerating hellscape in which we live only to be told by a younger friend, "yeah, I've seen a bunch of stuff like that" as they shake their head in mild annoyance and with a semblance of pity. 😔

My buddy surreptitiously had me talk to an app. I did not know he was setting me up, but I have to admit, the result is pretty funny. The shitty part? AI will be the end of us.

Whenever you think we're in "Late Stage Capitalism" and see things like this, it dawns on you that "Middle Stage Capitalism" has a lot left in the tank.

hello darkness my old friend

Just finished up dinner and put the leftover pasta sauce in the fridge. I know there are others out the like me who get waaay too much pleasure out of picking the exact right size container for leftovers. Tremendously satisfying. That is all I have to say.
