Buildings are art. Useful art, functional art, but art nonetheless. I firmly believe that architecture is art. Some is good, some is bad, some is conducive to humanity and some (like that depicted here) stifles it. But it's art in its own right. I think architecture would be a great addition to the art thread.

This is sort of real. When I was in Bulgaria recently, I noticed this kind of phenomenon. There is a huge amount of block housing from the communist era. They all look like slums - decaying concrete and graffiti everywhere, but most aren't. You have to look for other clues - like the kinds of cars in the lot. And int he window, between the glass and the drapes, you see the way people attempt to make their living space less awful. Lots of plants. Some small murals on windows. Little touches to try to make the place less dreary and horrible.
It sucks. The Soviet (and US, though thankfully at smaller scales) approach to housing is inhuman. And it's going to take 50 more years before everything wears out to the point that it can be torn down and replaced on small budgets.

Yes. One of the wonderful things about big cities is the architecture, but ironically it's sometimes hard to get a good sense of it when you're driving around town, whereas if you try to stop and admire it, in many of these cities, you're not going to get out alive.
At the beginning of the riot season, Lileks posted some pics of favorite buildings in Minneapolis. Said something about wanting to preserve the memory, should they be destroyed.

If you've never been, I cannot recommend enough a trip to the city of Columbus, Indiana. It is an architectural treasure trove. The city is the home of Cummins. After the War, the city had a boom like most everywhere else. They put up a lot of crappy buildings. The Cummins leadership didn't like it. They wanted the city to be beautiful. And the president was an architecture buff.
He made a deal with the city and many other organizations that if they needed a new building - a school, a post office, a church, whatever - then he would pay for the architecture and engineering if only they would pay for the actual building. And if he got to pick the architect.
The city is like a living museum of postwar architecture. It is sensational. And it's also a nice place. I was treated very well in Columbus many times. There is a lot of pride of place there. The people who live there seem to know what they have and are happy to share it. Columbus, IN is a national treasure.

as far as LIV's go, probably right. But, among the many good things this does for the region, it also proves that the entire never trumping War Forever claims of Bolton, Mattis, Kristol, French, etc, and all of the rest of their circus have been pathetically and idiotically wrong, all the time.
Remember when they were claiming Trump should be impeached because he was "abandoning our allies" by pulling troops out of Syria, and that this was going to cause "endless chaos" in the region? Oh yeah, moving our embassy to Jerusalem was supposed to do that, too. And then even John Bolton said that Kushner was going to destroy everything because he refused to listen to the "Professionals" in the State Dep't, and that Trump was making a huge mistake by letting Kushner work on a peace deal.
So maybe it won't matter to the LIV's. It does prove that *everything* Trump's enemies have been saying for 4 years about his foreign policy has been absolutely and completely wrong.

Tragically, it is actually all about mail-in voting. Mail in voting will allow the Democrats to commit massive voter fraud.
And now 9 states have adopted "universal mail-in voting".

Our city wanted to put up an new glass tower but the site was occupied by an old-style building. The preservationists threatened to sue if the city razed the old one. The compromise was to preserved the old facade and put the modern structure behind it and connect the two with a large lobby. It looks dumb. A major city on the other side of the Lake put a glass "Rubik's Cube" exploding from the classical facade in their art museum. Ugly.

Good thing. Having a prostitute kill one's ex wife is probably a bad idea. Organized crime would probably do it better, but then again, you always read stories where someone hires someone to bump off their ex and the person paying for the hit ends up in jail.

by an old-style building. The preservationists threatened to sue if the
city razed the old one. The compromise was to preserved the old facade
and put the modern structure behind it and connect the two with a large
lobby. It looks dumb. A major city on the other side of the Lake put a
glass "Rubik's Cube" exploding from the classical facade in their art
museum. Ugly.
The old classic Biltmore Hotel over on the left coast was purchased by a Japanese concern who promptly erected a modernistic glass structure on the outside so you had to walk through it to get to the front desk. It was ugly as all get-out and really took away from the classic lines of the building. Sorta like that glass pyramid monstrosity in front of the Louvre in gay Paree.
Again, why is this done? I suppose respect for anything that came before is dead these days. *long wistful sigh...*

If their marriage was ever a normal one with love and passion, maybe. It's a power marriage, the thing that keeps them together is the amount of dirt they have on each other, and that they can make more money and wield more influence as a team.

I was out talking a walk today at the park with Mr. Fenelon. Some people were wearing masks (we weren't) but nobody shouted at us and they all returned a wave or said "Hello" or "Have a blessed day!" back to me.
There was an old lady walking with a cane and she was unsteady on her feet. I think she must have had a stroke, because she had trouble speaking too. However, she had a grizzled old dog with her behaving very nicely on his leash. I asked her if I could pet the dog and she said "Yes" which I did, and I had a iced coffee in my hand and she said to the dog, "No; You can't have that. He wants to eat all kinds of things. I bet it gave her satisfaction to walk her dog even though she was slow and disabled. She obviously loved that dog and knew he needed a walk even if it was hard for her.
Great things at the park. The lake, beautiful big trees, and the large pink flowers. I don't know what they are-I call them "marshmallows" but my friend who was a retired botanist before he became a pastor says I frequently call plants by the incorrect name.

oh, that piece of music - if you've ever heard that done live by a soprano who can do it well, it is beyond mesmerizing. A vocalist who do that piece as it was meant to be done has a talent so far above ordinary human talent that it takes one's breath away, it is humbling just to be in the presence of such a person.
It also shows why that particular Opera is so timeless; of course it has a silly plot and characters, those are inconsequential. It displays how Mozart was treating the Human Voice as a pure musical instrument, completely divorced from language, and the most beautiful musical instrument of all.

I would highly recommend Jack Cashill's book on the subject, for anyone interested.
If...IF the Navy was involved, it's less a question of whether they covered up or not, it's more a matter of FBI and CIA doing so, on Bill Clinton's orders.
There were naval ships in the area, as well as a spotter plane, and I forget the details, but the pilot of that plane had some interesting testimony.
Anyhoo, silly joke here, but a serious topic about how the government can and probably DOES sew narratives to suit their needs.

Here's hoping the troopers write $150 million worth of tickets to the fine voting residents of Austin.

- The U.S. economy will expand at a much faster rate in the current
quarter than previously expected, but the outlook looks weaker for
growth and job creation in the fourth quarter and beyond, according to a
Philadelphia Federal Reserve survey released on Friday.
The
Philly Fed's quarterly Survey of Professional Forecasters predicted
growth in the current third quarter will come in at a 19.1% annualized
rate, nearly double the previous forecast for a 10.6% expansion from
July through September.

Ice cream giant Good Humor has enlisted the help of the Wu-Tang Clan's RZA to come up with a new song for ice cream trucks to replace "Turkey in the Straw."
"Turkey in the Straw," one of the most recognizable ice cream truck jingles, dates back to the 19th century and has racist roots - including first becoming popular in blackface minstrel shows.
While Good Humor didn't create the jingle, or any others, and hasn't operated any ice cream trucks since the 1970s, the company said it wanted to use its influence to come up with a solution and help move the industry forward.

My theory is, none of these people ever go into this thinking they're going to rise to the top. Not the Clintons, not the Obamas, not Kamala... none of them.
They just sorta fall into it, and somehow, some way their greedy desire for power pushes them upwards, into higher and higher levels of it.
Eventually they develop contempt for everyone else, because they truly know how petty and stupid and mean they really are. So if they get to the top, what does that say about the rest of us? Worthless ants, who deserve what they can give us, good and hard.

Unfortunatley, the US Constitution mandates some type of postal service.With that said, they are a poisoned bureaucracy just like the rest of the government. Mail volume is going down. Has been for years thanks to online bill pay, email, etc. So how is it that they are overwhelmed and can't deliver on time?
When you look at the great minds in logistics - look at how well Walmart, Home Depot - hell even Fedex, UPS, etc. do -- you wonder why the USPS can't duplicate this. Oh wait. Government rules and regs, unions, etc.

We had a mailman for years who did the same thing. At the time we lived on a cul de sac so Guinness would jump in the truck with him and ride all the way around 'til they got back to the house. Then Jim would give him a treat and he'd jump out.
Then Jim went on vacation once and Guinness went racing to the truck and jumped right in. The substitute mail lady was terrified and maced the poor dog. After that, he wouldn't get in the truck again, but Jim would always stop and give him a treat and a pat on the head.

Where would I get my junk mail?

The preservationists threatened to
sue if the city razed the old one. The compromise was to preserved the
old facade and put the modern structure behind it and connect the two
with a large lobby.
the university i went to had difficulty getting permission to build new buildings. instead, they would raze old structures except for the facade, and totally rebuild them, keeping the old facade attached. this turned a new building into a renovation, which was allowed under the restrictions they were dealing with.

And I do appreciate USPS's modernizations; you can subscribe to a morning email that shows scans of all of the pieces of mail you're getting that day. Handy if your mailbox is relatively far away from the house and you want to know if it's worth bothering to start the car and go get the mail.
But someone who understands cash flow and making a profit needs to be put in charge.

operated any ice cream trucks since the 1970s, the company said it
wanted to use its influence to come up with a solution and help move the
industry forward.
Ah, a "solution" to a problem that a whopping .001% of people don't like. We really need to do something about this tyranny of the minority that's being forced upon us, especially since it only works in one direction: away from freedom and all the other American values.
Control freaks are asshoe.

Regarding the top item on your blog, I've had the same thought regarding insurance companies being the ultimate arbiters of when/how we come out of COVID. You know lawyers can't wait to sue a venue or league or whatever if someone comes down with COVID after being there, no matter what precautions were taken.

We're developing a caste system.
To be a politician, you have to be upper middle class, preferably related to an existing politician or "public servant", attend an Ivy League school with Harvard, Yale, and Columbia strongly preferred, do internships, make contacts, go straight out of school to a congressional staff job, DC law firm, media organ, or policy think tank for a few years, then run for office.
I would say that anyone with this background should be disqualified. Why? Because they are not capable of the core function of representative government.
How can you successfully represent a people you've spent your entire life apart from and fundamentally do not understand?

The left claims to be the party of the future yet wants to preserve the
18th century USPS and force everyone to use 19th century trains.
they aren't obsolete until something better comes along.
also how i feel about cp/m and wordstar.

If they were at all serious about punishing those who cause us all harm, they would be suing China. None of the bullshit we're currently being forced to live through would be happening if not for them.
The fact that they aren't tell us all a lot of things, none of them good.

our mail carrier is an older man, thin, very properly dressed, and always quite surly. We get COD packages from time to time, and you can tell that it always annoys him a great deal.
Posted by: Tom Servo at August 14, 2020 10:53 AM (Kpl3J)
I had a UPS driver who delivered to the shop in TX who was elderly but spry. He was always bragging about how he had more packages each day than the FedEx Ground driver on the same route. But when the FedEx guy would drive off, he'd start bitching about how many packages he had, and how heavy they were, and how his old bones ached because of slinging 60 lb boxes etc. Annoyed the hell out of me.
So I started acting all giddy and cheerful when we had lots of deliveries (deliveries meant work, which meant I could pay the rent). Pissed him off something serious.

Same pedigree as me. I discovered him around 16-17 and couldn't stop reading him. Dittos Edgar Rice Burroughs, Dashiel Hammet, Raymond Chandler. Hell, I even tried to read the Continent of Mu. Paperbacks are a world of their own.
