In 1980, Trump promised to preserve Art Deco sculptures on the stylish 1929 Bonwit Teller department store, which was being demolished to make way for his vulgar Trump Tower.
He lied. He destroyed them.
In 2025, Trump promised to preserve the East Wing.

The East Wing is home to the Office of the First Lady and has played a key role in women’s visibility in the White House. This week, bulldozers began to tear it down to clear the way for President Donald Trump’s $250 million ballroom.
First ladies made history in the East Wing. It was razed for Trump's ballroom.

On display at Worldcon will be recreations of the badges worn to Seacon 1961 by F.M. and Elinor Busby, Seattle's own beloved fan writers. The Busbys made history in 1960 when their fanzine, Cry of the Nameless, won a Hugo, making Elinor the first woman ever to take home a Hugo Award. 🚀🪐📚 #scifi

Sofia Samatar said okay I'll write a book about the university and what she wrote is The Practice, The Horizon, and the Chain because speculative sci-fi might actually be the best way to call things what they are right now

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley is gem of a book about cultural displacement and how we connect with others.
Set in near-future UK, a young government employee is tasked by the home office with being a liaison for a Victorian sea captain who has been extracted from the past.
