Lindsay Graham, off to a better place. Gets mighty cold though. Trust he brought his Trump branded golf course sweater. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...

This grifting president and cowardly administration, being without an ounce of Tubman’s courage and commitment to American ideals, deserves our scorn and John-Waters snarl. Trust you’re doing what you can, as our senator, to stop these two-bit authoritarians.

A $20 bill stamped with portrait of Tubman taped to my wall next to a postcard of John Waters’ snarling lips — his pencil mustache and right side of his mouth raised in a curl.

Think we all know where this is heading once the construction fence went up.

Bloomsday, morning and evening Bag of corpsegas sopping in foul brine. A quiver of minnows, fat of a spongy tidbit, flash through the slits of his trouserfly. God becomes man becomes fish becomes barnacle goose becomes featherbed mountain. Dead breathes I living breathe, tread dead dust…

I’m not a god-fearing man nor a praying kinda guy, but…I do believe in biblical-level plagues. The people’s pox.

Weather channel forecast for Washington DC today — Trump’s latest desecration distraction— that reads like a biblical plague.

Artscape cameo if only to visit the Scout Fair inside Lawrence Hall Fowler’s War Memorial Bldg. Missed Questlove’s return to Artscape, his last appearance being on the median strip of Mt Royal Ave under blazing sun where he spun B-sides to old soul & R&B 45s to a handful of us—the year escaping me.

“Babs, Babs, is egg man coming today?” (Midnight show, College Park, MD, Fall 1975) [“It was all John’s idea,” Edith would tell us later when we stopped into her shop, Edith’s Shopping Bag, in Baltimore’s Fell’s Point neighborhood.]

Woman (Edith the egg lady) wearing underwear and holding a heart shaped pillow sits in a crib hand on rail, sayin “why isn’t the egg man here? I’m starving to death for some eggs.”

Brace yourself, Venezuela. If this score holds, you-know-who will be unleashing an overnight truth social barrage (or worse).

Somebody somewhere in the bowels of the Trump regime is thinking: Hmm, how about a pipeline? Whaddya call them, skateparks? Plenty of desert parking. Throw in some nice amenities. Bam! Perfect cover. Investment opportunity, to boot.

Psst, those still grieving the abrupt closing of Brewers Art (Baltimore). Resurrection is still on tap @ 7 West in Towson. Great daily happy hour, to boot. If you can find a seat at the always crowded bar.

Menu listing draft beer on tap at 7 West Bistro. First listed is Brewers Art’s Resurrection from the recently closed bar in Mt Vernon.

Thought that image looked familiar. Dystopia, utopia, who can even tell these days?

Turns out skin deep-bone ugly made its first appearance in print (newspaper, at least) Baltimore by way of an 1824 article in the “American Farmer (1/23/1824) Found reference on quoteinvestigator.com, then the article via genealogy.com) AF editor was John S. Skinner of Star-Spangled Banner fame.

Excerpt from the American Farmer newspaper: It is a trite saying that beauty is but skin deep, yet I have heard it said that ugly goes to the bone…

You’re negotiating with the guy who posted this (without the blurring), @schumer.senate.gov

Trump’s vile truth social post depicting faces of Michelle and Barack Obama on bodies of chimpanzees— faces blurred in this version

Loved Brewers Art from the day it opened, 30 yrs ago. Another piece of Baltimore gone. Stopped by two places today, hoping to find one for the road.

Four six-packs of beer from Brewers Art in Baltimore: two of Resurrection (in cartons) and two of Birdhouse Pale Ale.

Congrats on your new book, @bradleymorgan.bsky.social Sent me into my ‘archives’ — down memory lane to spring 1979 — for this gem: a final project in an American Studies class on popular music since 1945. We ran the professor’s themes thru the Mothers’ music machine. Epic. Damn, I miss FZ.

Cassette tape and case of a school project on Zappa and the mothers. Topics listed (not songs): Religion, The Media, Superstars, Adolescence, Sexuality, Alienation & Drugs, Criticisms of Youth Revolution, Civil Rights & Social Concerns, and ‘70s & “Disco Boy”

Which is why Baltimoreans gathered outside the Fallon Federal Building last Friday and then marched through downtown. #AbolishICE

Time to get Baltimore’s Pope of Trash, John Waters, working on the Scratch-N-Sniff Odorama Oval Office 2026 Edition.

Two images here: front and back of a scratch and sniff card given out in 1981 at the screenings of John Waters’ film Polyester. Front shows the actors and the back (called ODORAMA) has numbers 1-10 which we scratched when prompted during the film to reveal different odors.

We’re not there yet, of course. And history rhymes rather than repeats. But that steady beat coming out of the White House bears the unmistakable sound of the Miller-Vance Amerikkka-For-White-People Orchestra. #AbolishICE
