The populism spewing across the right is disgusting, but man, I hope we don't reach an era of left populism.

Well, it also does not help that Muslims and people from the MENA region actively voted for Republicans that represented anti-democratic, bigoted beliefs. They justified their votes because they were empathetic towards the anti-LGBTQ rhetoric.

The loss of regional banking has led to a lack of community around the country. Regional banks supported the housing markets of local economies, created jobs, and provide opportunities for those local entrepreneurs.

Do Liberals seriously think that the voting population cares about anything that Trump and Elon are doing?
What they are doing is wrong, but it clearly does not matter. The populace do not care, and there is going to be a reshaping of culture in the United States.

Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog is coming to The Met...I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT IN PERSON!
Aside from the Black Paintings of Goya, this is one of the few portraits that I've been dying to see from abroad.

Shunji Iwai is slowly turning into my favourite director and film writer. I am in love with how he deals with adolescent isolation, identity, and existentialism. Interestingly, I find that Kantian ethics has a role in his films, especially on the topic of morality.

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

I think we should look at this from a different perspective: why aren't institutions look to hire, train, and guide Americans in the same way they are looking to hire H1-B applicants and to some extent migrant workers? Corporate profits are through the roof, which answers that question well.
An unstated question during the H-1B discourse was how much of a shortage of skilled workers still exists given years of tech layoffs and Ivy League graduates struggling to find work?

Food is the ultimate love language tool. Of course I made this for you. Of course I remembered you don’t like that. Of course I’ll share it with you, here, have a bite. Of course I’ll eat what you made even though it’s probably inedible. Of course. Of course.

Beautiful American cities tend to have revolutionary architects, ones that create a style that permeates throughout:
Chicago: Burnham
Washington DC: Gilbert/Russell Pope
NYC: Gilbert/McKim, Mead, and White
Richmond: Thomas Jefferson

How come we don’t construct brick viaducts for trains anymore? Seems like the infrastructure is sturdy enough to last centuries (ie Park Ave Viaduct) and they are quite pleasing to the eye.

What are some places in midtown you’d like to see photographed? I’m thinking of taking some early pictures of Tree at Rockefeller, the Atlas, cathedral row, and of course, Grand Central (my beloved).
