@ASTR0ZOMBIEZ Any idea why these have sprocket holes? Medium format film usually doesn’t but maybe it was modified for the lunar hasselblads…

@CharlestonArchi As someone who not only exceeded a degree from but teaches architecture and urbanism at multiple major universities, you seem to have a deep misunderstanding of the place of style in the pedagogy

The problem is EXACTLY anti-traditional vs traditional. Anti-traditionalism has nearly eradicated traditional architectural education worldwide. What you see on the left is the result. One modernist's dogshite is another modernist's award winning design.

@ErikBootsma The problem isn’t “modern vs traditional,” it’s that those modern townhouses are aesthetically dogshite

Estas son las tomas que solo la NASA libera, sin gráficos, sin compresión, slow mo, para que los nerdos la vean, estudien y revisen. Gratis y para todos. Las agencias espaciales públicas jamás deben de desaparecer. x.com/TJ_Cooney/stat…

A recent post on LinkedIn summarizes what is wrong with architecture Architect proudly posts picture of grey boxes with garages facing the street as progress. Critic posts traditional alternative with (W COLOR!) Architect: "We're maximizing space for living not fakery!"

The simple answer is that societies put their capital in infrastructure. That used to mean durable cities, temples, cathedrals. Today it’s highways, shipping ports, software, ai, and information control. There’s plenty of money, it’s just being spent on less visible things.
Simon Sarris@simonsarris

Why isn't there everywhere? This still haunts me. We used to build lots of shrines, temples, gardens, cathedrals. Even very poor people. Even illiterate and pre-literate people. Then we all got immeasurably richer... and just stopped?

BREAKING - Leftists are absolutely seething after American figure skater Alysa Liu and her father, who escaped the Chinese Communist Party, both draped themselves in the American flag during her Olympic gold celebration. They only like team USA players who hate America.

Rev. Jesse Jackson built the Rainbow Coalition as a political home rooted in dignity and solidarity. That struggle continues here in New York City, in every fight for housing, justice, and equality. Today, we lower our flags in his honor — and recommit to the movement he called us to build.

The response to our "public" launch has been amazing. More than any of us thought On the real estate/deal side ... I am completely swamped with projects and opportunities. And so I need to hire someone to help me figure out which are the best ones. Both for manufacturing capacity and pragmatically for our (real estate) investors. So I'm hiring a Senior Analyst. You'll work directly with me, though you'll have a lot of interaction with everyone else on the team. I have trained a lot a great analysts, but this will not be one of those times. This will need to be someone who knows exactly what they are doing 14 months ago, we were just moving into our first factory. Over that time, we built 2 versions of our machines, outgrew the space, moved into a second one. Filled it out, and then built a house made entirely out of materials that we produced. AND at the same time, managed to make the design BOTH be beautiful AND (relatively) less expensive ... so that we can build projects that achieve greater than market returns for our real estate investors. I was on the road over 120 days last year. By the far the most in my entire career. And this year will easily surpass that (you will not need to do that) The point is ... you will be joining a very hardcore team in an intense work environment. If you enjoy that, in service of one of the most important missions facing AND you already have the skills to run deals >99% on your own ... we'd be honored to have you join. If that doesn't fit you, we will still need quite a few people to join the real estate and finance teams shortly. This is for a very specific role. You will certainly have the opportunity to grow into any role later, so if you are overqualified, that can be fine. But I am looking for the best possible analyst. Link below ⬇️⬇️

At @americanhousing, we are *fundamentally* a Real Estate Development company Which means we looking to buy well located land (or JV) where it makes sense to build *infill* attached, non-combustible rowhomes We want to build where young people ALREADY want to live, so they can move out of their apartment, have a kid a stay in the City. Or where a couple can buy a Starter Home in a single family market where they can’t afford the huge house, but want something nice. Our business is buy land, build parts (in a factory), put those parts together on the land and then sell (or rent) the homes In terms of how that process will work … people won’t buy our homes as kits or customize them like a Tesla. They’ll simply a house on Zillow and go “That looks pretty. And it’s down the street from where we live. I think we could afford it. Let’s go look at it.” They’ll take a tour, say “Wow, this IS really nice, and we could see ourselves raising (or starting) our family here.” And then buy it.

If we had passed FDR's Economic Bill of Rights in 1944 like we should have, we would not live in the America we live in today. We would live in a vastly more just, fair, and prosperous society.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”

I wish there was a pithy phrase that meant "I hear that you think this. I neither agree nor disagree. This is your thought, and I really have nothing to do with it."
