- this meets the legal definition of genocide: mass killing, forced displacement, and deliberate conditions to destroy a people ‘in whole or in part nothing diluted about it
- “evacuation warnings” mean nothing when every zone gets bombed

- “chaotic food distribution system” is a lie: its not chaotic, it’s engineered starvation. Israel is intentionally limiting food and aid to punish and break a civilian population

-“Why hasn’t it been more deadly?” is obscene: Over 55k palestinians are dead, many in stage 5 malnutrition (the final, irreversible stage). suggesting it’s not deadly enough to be genocide is grotesque.

I love this building because it is beautiful, and because it is a physical manifestation of both the glamour and the rot behind the American dream.

If you want a clear view of both towers, visit the small public courtyard in the back. It’s especially wonderful at night when it’s lit up by lights.

He died suddenly of an infected tooth; he never signed a will. He left his fortune to a family he’d largely neglected. His wife suffered from chronic depression and died soon after; one daughter died by suicide, another was financially exploited by 7 husbands and gambled much of her inheritance.

Woolworth was a rags-to-riches story. he rose from poverty to become one of America’s first billionaires. He chose the Broadway & Park Place site for maximum visibility. you can spot it from the Brooklyn Bridge. It was also very important to him to “win” the race for Manhattan’s tallest skyscraper.

architect Cass Gilbert designed the limestone facade with ornately engraved neo-gothic details. Its twin turrets and their turquoise crowns is a nod to london’s Houses of Parliament, earning it the nickname “Cathedral of Commerce.”

F.W. Woolworth, the “five-and-dime” magnate, finished the tower in 1913. for 17 years it was the world’s tallest building.
