Maybe it can do double duty as the mascot of #ManholeCoverMonday? Eh, @rogersparkman.bsky.social?

My Facebook/insta were hacked overnight; can’t currently access. Not great timing, since they’re my main way of promoting my tours.

There’s one this morning!

Ca. 1960 my old man struck up a conversation w Dave Lambert while he, Hendricks, & Ross were on set break. Dave was taking photos of rainy Rush Street. I often wonder what those ended up looking like.

I was thinking about “Thirtysomething” and if it came out today, it would likely have the weird fandom stuff “The Pitt” is experiencing Also I think people would make a meal out of the fact that Ken Olin and Patricia Wettig are married in real life but married to someone else on the show

Pour some out for the steamers Philip R Clarke & Arthur M Anderson, some of the oldest freighters on the Great Lakes, now in long-term layup in Toledo, neither expected to sail again. The Anderson was the last ship in contact with the Edmund Fitzgerald. Photos by Lou Gerard & Altafest.

Autumn Epic As summer’s damp soliloquy breathes Its last and the slow, silent muse of fire Begins to seethe, golds will come First, then: auburn, sienna, mauve, First flames of a slow, silent detonation. The leaves begin to turn, see, Into a perfect, brisk, month-long burn.

Feels conspicuous that major outlets haven’t done a significant look back at “Network” this year, it’s 50th anniversary, considering it’s prescient fucking themes! (Maybe its because so many culture writers are no longer employed at major outlets 😩) Anyway I was glad to find this podcast episode
