Gentle reminder that Black Sabbath’s Sabotage album cover was itself the victim of sabotage.

The album cover for Sabotage by Black Sabbath features the band members standing in front of a large mirror with the album title above them. They are wearing wild-ass clothes.

The designers “carried on with the shoot, explaining they would superimpose the images at a later stage and that it would look great, to be honest. The session was unbelievably rushed, and the outcome was far from what had been originally envisaged.”

Those were their street clothes. 🎡 🀘

I’ve been listening to Something To Consume by Die Spitz. Heavy, young band with tons of energy and solid songs. Caught on to them after being recommended their KEXP performance. The vibe between the gals is so infectious and genuine. 🎡

Ahhhh, we have a good Mayer!!! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸŒ†

I saw Aunty Donna at The Beacon last night. An incredible fever dream show. They pulled off the hat trick of having an incredibly tight show, while feeling loose and comfortable. Extremely confident. There was plenty of moments of genuine surprise and improvisation from the cast. Wonderful to see, and of course, hilarious.

Bring Her Back, 2025 - β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

Sally Hawkins is so, so good. She gives the biggest feel bad toxic positivity performance I've maybe ever seen, and somehow you're still sort of rooting for her. Also, features one of the gnarliest gore scenes that had my roommates and I crawling up the couch. A+.

Weapons, 2025 - β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

Finally got around to seeing this. Wha a romp. Beat window smashing in recent memory.

Local Astoria politics: Tiffany CabΓ‘n’s legislative proposal to Curb Deadly NYPD Car Chases is a no brainer. As someone who lives in the neighborhood and has been to the community meetings, these chases are awful. No one needs to die because someone else committed a nonviolent crime. The police should be held accountable. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ™οΈ

Talk to Me, 2022 - β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

What a great modern horror movie.

Happy Halloween πŸŽƒ

I voted early today, and got myself that sweet sweet Halloween sticker, along with supporting a mayor I’m actually excited about. Let’s go Mamdani! πŸŒ‡πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Ali Alkhatib: Defining AI.

I think we should shed the idea that AI is a technological artifact with political features and recognize it as a political artifact through and through. AI is an ideological project to shift authority and autonomy away from individuals, towards centralized structures of power.

I tend to agreeβ€”what else could be so valuable to all these billionaires that would be worth sinking unprecedented amounts of cash into with no clear path to profitability? πŸ’½

As if you needed another reason to not take a yellow cab. Taxi TV Is MAGA Now. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, 1994

This movie happened.

I was lucky enough to see The Best Show’s live 25th anniversary show in Brooklyn last week. Amazing to see Tom firing on all cylinders, all the big Wurster characters, Mike’s corner, and just feel the weight of all that history. Oh, and it was non-stop funny.

Astoria loves Lions.

A neighborhood flower.

A vibrant pink and white flower blooms among green foliage by a sidewalk, with cars and autumn-colored trees in the background.

I saw John Carpenter at the knockdown center last night. Really fun show, and we were on the street before 10:30pm! β€οΈπŸŽ΅πŸ‘΄

I took a photo I only kind of liked. Something was missing. Turns out? Mirror.

New (to me) Music October 🎡

I’ve been digging into some new music this month. And by new music, I mean there’s also a bunch of stuff from a few years ago, and some of that is incredibly generous with the word … Read more

Playing with desaturation.

One Battle After Another, 2025 - β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

This movie rules. Saw it in vista vision and only the front row was left. Had a great time but my neck hurts.

Retsina doesn’t always sit in the toy box, but when she does, she drinks Dos Equis. 🐈

A good rain.

A vibrant red rose blooms amidst lush green foliage, with a blurred park setting in the background.
