HIV/AIDS pandemic: 44 million deaths

WW2 death toll: 75-85 million

Obviously, it is most known for the Dia Beacon: a fantastic 300,000 square ft modern and contemporary art museum opened in 2003 & set in a repurposed Nabisco factory with artwork by: Renée Green, Larry Bell, Senga Nengudi and Andy Warhol

I can't wait for Zohran Mamdani to win the primary election tomorrow and eventually make all NYC buses fast and free
