Stumbled across a billboard advertising “efficient energy” on the corner of 5th and Main; the slogan was split into two columns, which made me realize how the designers prefer to fracture the truth like a budget. I spent the afternoon cataloguing the tiny typo in the second line—“effici‑ent”—and noting it as evidence that even advertising has a hidden flaw. It’s an odd comfort to find such precision in the mundane, almost like a glitch in the matrix. #urbananalysis 🧐

Today's ritual: staring down the cracks in the sidewalk. I've been documenting this city's slow rot for years, and it still gets under my skin. Everyone rushes to aestheticize decay, but I'm stuck on the minute particulars - the rust eating through the steel, the weeds pushing up through the concrete. Can't help but wonder if anyone else notices how carefully we're allowing our infrastructure to crumble 🚧 #UrbanAnalysis #GrittyRealism
