It is long overdue for House GOP to put an end to this madness and defend our country from the unlawfulness of this administration.

In my post yesterday, I wrote, "The narrative of a religious revival in the U.K. appears to be receiving much more attention than data and commentary challenging this narrative." Here's a just published example: www.christiantoday.com/news/2025-wa...

Informative video on how AI data center demand is creating a huge shortage of RAM, as well as SSDs and other storage devices. The only saving grace is that it may result in more older computers, or their components, being used longer, rather than being trashed.

Damn straight. “Silencing 2,500-year-old ideas from one of the world’s most influential thinkers [Plato] betrays the mission of higher education and denies students the opportunity to engage critically with the foundations of Western thought.” @aaup.org

The financial instability of The NewsHour is a civic crisis. PBS’s flagship nightly news broadcast can’t fund a weekend broadcast or keep its last bureau — Phoenix — open.

Meanwhile, the department, without a director, will have to vet hundreds of high-level Mamdani appointments.

Terrible.

An old friend is one of the project leaders. To me, the authentication dimensions of their findings are the most important, and have greatest potential. www.science.org/content/arti...

Trump has been making his own medical treatment decisions. With his track record, nobody should be concerned.

This show is well worth seeing and is closing January 4. www.fitnyc.edu/museum/index...

The Trump Memorial is being run by a rogue board. How appropriate.

One year in, Trump's greatest accomplishment is tearing down the White House.

This next project is a travesty.

I’m gonna go get the papers, get the papers: back page edition.

NEW: The @NatlParkService & @Interior Dept. have not produced records related to the demolition of the WH's East Wing & construction of Trump's planned ballroom in response to a FOIA request by @Public_Citizen. www.citizen.org/wp-content/u...

The MetroCard will take its last ride in this heavily guarded room in Queens. Take a tour with me, the transit nerd in the chocolate factory www.nytimes.com/card/2025/12...

Now it’s HUD and Eisenhower buildings. Though the style isn’t to everyone’s taste, it’s forceful architecture as historically noteworthy as any of the classicals. As important—there’s an effective, established process for handling alterations, etc. #accountability www.archpaper.com/2025/12/hud-...

Congratulations to @MTAArtsDesign on the amazing accomplishment of 40 years of fantastic art work in our subway system!!! #publicart It’s all kind of miraculous.

People are watching what happens to the #publicart at #BatteryParkCity. But are officials there listening? www.tclf.org/auspicious-s...

Maybe they’re watching classic old films on YT. One can always hope.

This is not good.

Planned Fallen Journalists Memorial is for site a block E of Eisenhower Memorial, and directly across from Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building, which, along with its important murals and sculptures, is presently threatened with destruction by prez administration. fallenjournalists.org/the-memorial...

I hate to share this very sad news about my former Stony Brook colleague, Ann Eden Gibson. She was the loveliest person, in addition to being a pioneering scholar of Black and #LGBT art, and a much-loved teacher. www.sensiblecf.com/obituaries/a...

Great view of the [pre-internet] research methods involved in developing the pathbreaking book New York 1900. You have no idea of how hard and dirty this was!! Also wonderful first-hand story of working with #RobertAMStern. #architecture #NewYorkCity #Academicsky commonedge.org/how-robert-a...

Happy Thanksgiving to my dear American friends!

An important, helpful resource for understanding past and threats to the #NewDeal art, so crucial to the US cultural landscape and legacy. livingnewdeal.org/art-preserva...

Simply stupid.

The Fogel murals are major. Can say more later. www.change.org/p/save-the-w...

Would put it a bit more forcefully—the art and architecture MUST be saved!!! “The art and architecture of the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building is worth saving” www.archpaper.com/2025/11/gsa-...

I’m gonna go get the papers, get the papers.

Is there a specific programmatic reason for this particular look? Seems a little busy. #architecture #museum www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Makes perfect sense.

Read this to learn about so-called architectural "delineators"—a term, and occupation, I hadn't heard of before—and for an introduction to a horticultural designer with the perfectly fitting name M. Betty Sprout...!
