Michael Jordan prior to his ‘92 Finals matchup with Clyde Drexler. “Clyde was a threat, I’m not saying he wasn’t — but me being compared to him, I took offense to that”

@Gift0fGod723 @JordanMuse_ I wouldn’t say domination. Drexler’s numbers mirror his playoff averages that year. Jordan finals stats almost exactly match his playoff average that season. So neither one slowed the other down. But Jordan’s the GOAT.

@joefilm @JordanMuse_ Those Bulls teams had no answer for Olajuwon. Center was a huge weakness. Centers they faced in the finals: Vlade Divac Kevin Duckworth Mark West Ervin Johnson Greg Ostertag

Between this scene and the depiction of the Saracens as perfect princes and Liam Neeson's dream of a pluralistic Jerusalem, you have Total Boomerized Cinema.

There’s a big disconnect between parents and non parents about what it’s actually like to have a child because the hardships are describable but the joy is not.

Perhaps my favorite Supreme Court exchange in recent memory: Solicitor general: “It’s a new world." John Roberts: "It's a new world. It's the same Constitution." Into my veins 😌

Postwar U.S. architecture didn’t shift 2 modernism by accident. It was driven by ideologues who actively despised classical architecture + *usefully idiotic* bureaucrats/politicians who bought the sales pitch about efficiency, progress, & democracy. Guys like Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (who reshaped U.S. architecture schools at Harvard and IIT Chicago) taught that the decorative was “decadent,” classical design was a pre-war relic, & trad forms had 2 be purged for a hygienic future. Le Corbusier & *CIAM* pushed tabula-rasa “Radiant City” towers that erased old streetscapes. These ideas weren’t neutral preferences. They were ideological warfare against the Western past - “dust traps,” “bourgeois relics,” "fascist" enemies against "social progress". By the 1950s, modernist dogma dominated architectural schools & the entire field. Enter the *structural* machinery that amplified & entreched this ideology after 1945: A. Housing Act 1949 (Title I Slum Clearance + Title III Public Housing): 1,000,000,000s for federal grants for eminent domain “blight” clearance. Older/Classical/Beaux arts/Art Deco areas were bulldozed. Subsidies explicitly favored “new designs, materials, techniques” & "reduced costs" - just perfect for standardized modernist superblocks & high-rises for plazas. B. The Housing Act 1954 expanded it as full “urban renewal,” enabling more commercial clearance. For NYC, Robert Moses was a key player. C. Federal Property & Administrative Services Act 1949 created the GSA (General Services Admin). It centralized federal building design with outsourcing 2 private architects under efficiency mandates. Postwar industrial materials (glass, steel, cement) fit modernism like a glove. D. Federal-Aid Highway Act 1956: 90% federal funding tore expressways through old neighborhoods, clearing land for yet more modernist redevelopment. Indirectly against older styles but still devastating. E. NYC 1961: New policies like FAR for public plazas rewarded freestanding glass/steel tower forms (i.e.,Seagram Building). Classical buildings couldn’t compete for extra floor area. F. The culprit: 1962 Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture (drafted by Daniel Patrick Moynihan for JFK). Key line: 'Design must flow from the architects 2 the Government rather than vice versa'. When modernists proclaim that architecure is free without “official style", organic,etc its just subversive stage magic. It seems like democratic pluralism & anti-authoritarian freedom (vs. Soviet/Fascist), but the field was already ideologically captured by the avant-garde. Present day,etc = modernism exclusively. Peer-review panels & GSA boards filtered out classical/deco proposals as regressive & anti-progressive. Result: Brutalist HUD HQ, Mies’s Chicago Federal Center, + hundreds more. This was instituted authoritarian modernist entrustment at work. Ideologues provided the anti-classical worldview & literally redefined 'excellence', but useful idiots - Fair Deal political leaders chasing quick housing wins, GSA bureaucrats preoccupied by cost, Cold War liberals with short man issues wanting 2 look "modern" & "democratic" supplied the funding, eminent domain, & policy power. They bought the framing: modernism = efficiency + progress + democracy. Beauty? Classical/Art Deco = regressive + old + costly + fascism. The result: American cities & federal buildings got a de facto modernist status quo for 80 years. Classical & trad styles were marginalized by a handful little policy shifts & cultural capture by leftist ideologues, enabled by incentives that made more decorative styles uncompetitive.

85% of the worlds refugees are Muslim. Not one of the 56 Muslim countries are taking in refugees. 11 of these countries are the richest in the world. If Islam is so great; why are Muslims countries not taking care of their own?
