Pretty uniquely Anglo pathology You'll never catch an Italian saying "Italy fucking SUCKS actually"

You are confusing individual art/architecture with the top down uniformity of vision instilled by people with "Great Man" aspirations, although to be fair, that article largely is as well

lol someone on Reddit wants to know if the mob is still in NYC lololol lmao Better question is where isn't the mob in NYC

Begging people to understand that if the shooter was in the US on a student visa in 2000 he did not enter the US through a diversity visa program in 2017.

When people reveal who they truly are, through words or actions, trust what you see. "Trump’s Pick For Ambassador To South Africa Actively Opposed Fight To End Apartheid" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trumps-...

Aside from being a ridiculous rationale, once again the executive is asserting the power to nullify any law they don't like. If you want to do this, have congress amend or repeal the relevant act. Every fucking day these assholes just hereby declare new illegal shit

The supposedly dastardly Chinese algorithm that required everyone to lose their minds and set fire to the first amendment for this law also remains owned and developed by bytedance and is leased to the US consortium under this deal. So, y'know, congrats everyone, great job

wow Sanders has not been good these last few years

The white house is a metaphor, man. A showy facade of a seat of government that is also suffering from poor management, deferred maintenance, and difficulty modernizing to meet a new era. Yet at the same time its unique, not a palace, but something that belongs to the people who are governed from it

Inefficiency is an aesthetic choice

Also the story of how architecture, and by extension architectural criticism could possibly end up in such a mess as it is nowadays is--I promise--extremely insane, extremely fascinating, and even features a cameo by the 20th century's greatest villain himself

If you, like me, spend Way Too Much Time in architectural circles this is actually quite a common problem in architecture criticism, because of the odd way the cookie crumbles vis-à-vis modernist orthodoxy

art school 🤝 engineering school *nervous laughter*

the annoying thing about this dumb piece is that i think there's actually a decent essay topic buried in it (the architectural aesthetic of authoritarians vs. the [perceived] limited horizons of technocracy) but the writer hates liberals so much that she can't get out of her own way to write it.

also like. we did. the us is scattered with new deal monumental architecture

I have learned some amazing new use cases for divided hot pots from user reviews Couldn’t find another I saw in which a Italian woman used one side for pasta and the other to blanch broccoli rabe

That Musk and Sachs and other tech billionaires backing and working for Trump are white South Africans who left after apartheid fell is not a coincidence bsky.app/profile/coll...

This is a repugnant verdict, which is a legal term not a moral judgment: it means the verdict contradicts itself and therefore cannot stand. they acquitted her on the misdemeanor concealment charge and convicted her of felony obstruction. But she could only be guilty of obstruction if she was also

I went to the National African American Museum today and it's amazing the difference between the Civil Rights movement and these fuckers. The Civil Rights knew to win, they had to swallow their egos. They knew the way to win was to integrate, to appear weak to win over the kinder white people 1/5

Hey if you missed open enrollment for the health care exchange you get another shot at it, with your coverage starting in February instead of January!

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME. I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center. People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

one of the stranger parts of US intellectual culture is people desperate to convince themselves that they're dangerous radical dissidents while writing for, for instance, the New York Review of Architecture or working as tenure-track professors.

It is not that the White House is the Parthenon or Sistine Chapel. But that the current occupant is egregiously violating scores of laws by just bulldozing half the place and doing whatever TF he wants without any review or approval. We are a nation of laws and that still matters.

Can someone tell me about the Wagner drama? I'm sorry, I practiced an hour of self care and I completely missed everything that went down

The way people are being vile and rude to me is actually unacceptable and disproportionate to what is in reality a very mild critique: that liberals are losers and have bad taste and their symbols are shitty

We wonder why young people are leaving Massachusetts. The path to home ownership is damn near impossible. My town is often considered one of the more "affordable" places in my area, but costs have absolutely skyrocketed in the past 5 years.

When the Trump administration cut off food aid to one of the world’s largest refugee camps, it left hundreds of thousands of people to starve. This is the story of one mother’s daily battle to keep her three young sons alive. By Brett Murphy and @annamaria.bsky.social, photos by Brian Otieno

Look, you may be having a rough day, but at least you know you'll go to bed tonight and wake up in the morning and not be Rod Dreher or David Brooks.

Many of the roughly 200 former Sonoma State student-athletes whose teams were cut remained in the Bay Area to continue their college careers.

I take some time for myself and I miss Wagner drama 😕 I should have been obsessively poasting this whole time, that will teach me

Most notably JFK did not go around naming airports and art centers after himself. Other people did that, mostly after he was dead. This is Trump just vandalizing institutions like a child with a crayon in a room full of white walls and there are no adults willing to stop him

In NYC rock concerts come to you

there's so much gender going on in this image

People obsessively defend the most noxious ethnonationalist slogans of the anti-Israel camp because they enjoy forcing Jews to tolerate them, not because they have some magical effect towards Palestinian liberty. They add no votes, no money, no bullets. It is ritual community shaming & abasement.

Anyway they're both eugenicists and want people to suffer and die.

The way you reconcile the "YIMBY folks say everyone wants to live in a city" and "Polls repeatedly seem to say that people prefer living in suburbs" is "dense living in cities" means almost completely different things to these groups.

This seems all kind of legally questionable

They're playing Santigold in the fast casual poké place I am officially old

Note that Brooks hung out with Epstein 3 years after Epstein had pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and procuring a child for prostitution. I don't think this makes him look any better! bsky.app/profile/chri...

David Brooks is not a journalist. This is gaslighting.

Public transportation is crucial for our economy, communities, and people. And here in Illinois, we are on the verge of delivering a world-class transportation network. The Northern Illinois Transit Authority is our step toward a future of having the best transit system.
