This morning before heading to the store, I cleaned my car windows. After I got home, it poured down rain for a couple hours. I just wiped the windows again, to prevent water spots, and the clean cloth came back covered in this black gunk.
Black gunk that had to come from the rain.
#Memphis #xAI …

One side of a white microfiber cloth, covered in black gunk. The cloth was clean before I wiped off my car windows, and the windows themselves had been cleaned this morning before a bunch of rain fell. I don’t know what the black gunk is, but it came from the rain. I’m in Memphis, about 20 miles as the crow flies from the xAI pollution factory. I can’t prove that the black gunk is particulates from xAI’s turbines, but I can’t prove it’s not, either.

Lunch at the #FourWay in #Memphis, #Tennessee. Saturday’s special: liver & onions. Potato salad and turnip greens on the side. VIP (an Arnold Palmer) to drink.
Outstanding!

A plate with generous portions of liver & onions, potato salad, turnip greens, and a cornbread muffin. A glass of iced tea with lemonade and a bottle of hot sauce are in the background.

The front of the famous Four Way Soul Food Restaurant at 998 Mississippi Boulevard in Memphis, Tennessee. A green door sits between two large windows. From left of frame, a man walks toward the door.

A sign in the window at the Four Way restaurant proclaims “no federal agent access in this business” because FUCK ICE

Today in #Memphis we turned the tables at another #Buycott establishment, Da Sammich Spot on Park Ave. It was a pleasure being there, where we enjoyed good company and good food. The owner, Rob (front row), wants to thank everyone who showed up to support his business and take a stand against

Memphis Police Chief CJ Davis appears on Beale Street for Memphis’s 901 Day festivities, August 29th, 2026. She’s beaming with a big smile. Behind her, protestors hold signs that say “ICE OUT” and “FUCK ICE.” That’s me with the second one.

I love this #mural I saw in #OrangeMound this morning. It goes on like this for a couple blocks along Carnes, adjacent to the park, painted on the side of a giant warehouse. So many handprints!
#Memphis …

A small section of a mural painted on the side of a large warehouse. Against a white background, there are gently rolling grassy hills (likely meant to be interpreted as mounds). Above, there are large oranges among foliage. This segment of the mural features dozens of handprints in various shades of red, orange, and yellow. Carnes Avenue at Grand Street, Orange Mound, Memphis, Tennessee, June 26th 2026
