LOCAL: Working on a watercolor tomorrow. Still trying to install a mural on a local building, but weather and supply chain issues remain at large. Brownsville is still under flood watch today until 10 pm. We might be able to install it this evening anyways. Biked around Cheat Lake and marveled at the ruins of abandoned fish camps trailside.

Unable to find a home. Water is leaking through the ceiling in a bathroom. There’s mold. I don’t want my kids to die from it, [duck lips selfie], chat. I remember reading in 2019 about investment groups buying up homes and withholding them from market. I studied the Pittsburgh market and found 30% of sellable homes…off market. Decrease in supply drives demand, prices rise, number go up. Homes released at a rate that advantages as few real estate staff as needed. Laborers cannot survive capitalist societies. Ask my friend, $7.25 federal wage. This economic system demands poverty, as a feature.

DRONE: I got my controller for the Avata 2. I like the trigger stick, but I will always enjoy the feel of a two-stick RC that I can hang from my neck with a lanyard. I flew the Avata 2 in both normal and sport modes for a minute – before rain. I performed stick maneuvers I would use to launch and land my DJI Phantom 3 Pro ten years ago. Worked. Should read the manual.

The Trump Devolution: He raped kids, and now he wants to award cop-beating miscreants billions of dollars for participating in the Jan 6 riot at the Capitol to interrupt or stop the transfer of power in the 2020 election. Even Mitch McConnell, who helped architect the rise of Trump, SuperPACs, and dark money, said the idea was ‘utterly stupid and immoral – take your pick’. And Trump is protecting pedophiles. His staff includes rapists and pedophiles. Seems on-brand. ~~Iran~~ Pedophiles and their willing supporters need to go to prison.

My teenage son recently spouted QANON BS at me about Bill Gates mind-control implants, so it looks like TikTok is still red-hot garbage. Effective, but garbage, nonetheless.
