Space X launched a rocket at the Whitehouse

I’m sorry I’m completely lost on what point you’re trying to make— adieu

For such a perfect illustration, I’m surprised to be unable to see it.

Isn’t the phenomena of free to consume media a modern one though. Since when was printed media ever free? I just use a paywall remover myself…

I would have also if JD Vance decided to come visit me

The perfect building is the artificial pirate boat, in an artificial lake, operated as a pirate themed restaurant.

What’s the admission fee?

Beautiful work

It’s a shame so many people overlook the imbedded reference in the design of the Vision Pro carry bags. The crumpled design is inspired by the Apollo stowage bags, evoking the marks left by being packed tightly into the spacecraft. For those who appreciate the poetic homage it’s rly very beautiful

This is the classic Sherlock Holmes case of the mysterious sound in the night, being that, there was no sound at all.

That said, most successfully wealthy actors by necessity have their assets arranged in a way that allows them to go long periods of time without an income. Actors who go broke are like horses in the desert, you must be a camel to survive Hollywood. Nature of the business.

The problem, as I see it, is that a strike must be unrelenting. Sustained on sheer desperation. At first those particular elite actors may strike in solidarity, but how long are they willing to go or what assets are they willing to risk before they start appealing for compromise... only speculation

As someone who used to endlessly watch 3hour debate videos, I remember how I felt when someone ‘refused’ debate. I thought it was so telling. But as an adult with a full portion of human brain still intact I fully get it now. Debate is mostly a ballet of language and should only be enjoyed as such.

Some libraries near me are even providing spaces for VR. I can go into my local library and start developing something today for free. That’s awesome.

Also libraries typically give the generally public access to advanced technologies. We forget that books, computers, scanners/printers, etc were in their respective time periods accessible in libraries well before the average person owned one. This is really important for education and development.

I think the current architecture scene, especially new-urbanists, are wrong being so staunchly anti-car. The original new-urbanists like Leon Krier were actually pro-car. For example in the Seaside development he wanted to foster a ‘pull up anywhere’ type attitude in the street design.

The socialist case for Trad Architecture Conservatives don't have a monopoly on beauty

“conservative concepts of beauty are incongruent with a devotion to the free market”. As I have been saying for a long time, there is no better example of anti-capital expenditure for public betterment than corbels, pilasters, and fleur-de-leis.

The Het Rode Dorp development (2014) in The Hague is one of the nicest liminal spaces I have experienced in a long time. It almost feels like walking through a Georgio Grassi drawing. Such little greenery would typically be an eyesore, but it seems to match its industrial workers cottage scene.
