🔪💔💎 HACKNEY DIAMONDS BY THE ROLLING STONES

Checking out the new Rolling Stones album, Hackney Diamonds, this afternoon. First release of new material in 18 years. Keith Richards is like 80. And good ol' Mick, who fictional character Patsy Stone once called “a jumping scrotum with lips,” can’t be that far behind. But they sure sound great. Not overproduced, authentic rock and roll. Even heard a saxophone solo on one song, ha! Guest artists, apparently, include Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and Lady Gaga.

By the way, I’ve lost a few pants sizes. I was up to, I think, a 44 not too long ago. In a 40 now, and they’re still a little loose so I’m going to try a 38 and see how they feel. It feels like it’s been an eternity since I’ve not had to biggie size my wardrobe every six months.

Today was, thankfully, my last day of grand jury duty. I don’t want to do it again ever. Here are some photos I took today, though. I used a little AI to remove a trashed plastic cup from the ground and part of a streetlight that was in the way. The silhouette photo has no AI embellishments.

Immoral. Hypocritical. And totally a Republican thing to do.

Noticed the pride flag flying at the county government building and snapped this pic. Cropped 3 different ways. Which is better, A, B, or C?

What’s your RSS app of choice? Am replacing NetNewsWire on iOS 😞 I want to love it, but I want an app that opens the entire article natively without having to send it to Safari to read more or use reader view. It seems like NNW doesn’t do that, or I’ve overlooked a setting.

Waking up with Prince, and some coffee. This is one of my favorite videos of his (or anyone’s for that matter) but nothing will ever top Raspberry Beret.

Remastered! I remember my Aunt Cathie playing his CD for me when it first came out, and of course I loved Wishing Well the most. It was only as a 20-something that this song really became a part of my tapestry for good:

TIL: There’s a song called Death Cab for Cutie by a band called The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. It is not a particularly good song, but this one is hilarious. It’s subtle and ridiculously satirical and clever and just plain funny.

Sometimes I get obsessed with songs I liked a long time ago, and I pretty much can’t stop playing them when that happens. This is one of those songs. I just can’t get enough of it.

Grand Jury day 5. It’s been emotionally draining. Here are some of the signs I’ve seen. Other signs were not so obvious. Still others were a little too on the nose.

I’m obsessing over widgets the way I was with iOS shortcuts. I don’t understand how to build them but I looooove looking at them. Here’s my current phone lock and home screen. I also really like this photo of the Statehouse and sky that I took.

🫠 Done with day 1 of Grand Jury duty. Everything is awful, people are horrific, and I don’t understand how humanity has endured as long as it has.

I’m not sure what emoji signifies “I’ve got Grand Jury duty for the next two consecutive weeks” but here’s the sign that greeted me just before the nice lady did. I wish it was in better repair, I really like the design. GRAND JURY WITNESSES REPORT HERE 👈 (and then it points to the nice lady) 🙋‍♀️
