The loss of regional banking has led to a lack of community around the country. Regional banks supported the housing markets of local economies, created jobs, and provide opportunities for those local entrepreneurs. The strength of regional banking comes from education. Having a rotating door of-

Do Liberals seriously think that the voting population cares about anything that Trump and Elon are doing? What they are doing is wrong, but it clearly does not matter. The populace do not care, and there is going to be a reshaping of culture in the United States.

Did Blueksy finally manage to get rid of those bots? Lol

This likely isn't the right time to post this, but here are some images to brighten up your day:

Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog is coming to The Met...I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT IN PERSON! Aside from the Black Paintings of Goya, this is one of the few portraits that I've been dying to see from abroad.

Shunji Iwai is slowly turning into my favourite director and film writer. I am in love with how he deals with adolescent isolation, identity, and existentialism. Interestingly, I find that Kantian ethics has a role in his films, especially on the topic of morality.

One of the best articles I have read in a long time, but I felt so disheartened reading it. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

I think we should look at this from a different perspective: why aren't institutions look to hire, train, and guide Americans in the same way they are looking to hire H1-B applicants and to some extent migrant workers? Corporate profits are through the roof, which answers that question well.

The sculptures on the Arc de Triomphe. Beautiful.

The self-centeredness of society has pissed me off in unimaginable ways. I can't help but wish we grow as a collective, but those dreams of mine seem so far gone.

Irene Jacob. What an absolute beauty.

The Burghers of Calais, Rodin - The Met (c. 2024)

Food is the ultimate love language tool. Of course I made this for you. Of course I remembered you don’t like that. Of course I’ll share it with you, here, have a bite. Of course I’ll eat what you made even though it’s probably inedible. Of course. Of course.

Beautiful American cities tend to have revolutionary architects, ones that create a style that permeates throughout: Chicago: Burnham Washington DC: Gilbert/Russell Pope NYC: Gilbert/McKim, Mead, and White Richmond: Thomas Jefferson

How come we don’t construct brick viaducts for trains anymore? Seems like the infrastructure is sturdy enough to last centuries (ie Park Ave Viaduct) and they are quite pleasing to the eye.

What are some places in midtown you’d like to see photographed? I’m thinking of taking some early pictures of Tree at Rockefeller, the Atlas, cathedral row, and of course, Grand Central (my beloved).

J.M.W. Turner and John Constable, Britain’s greatest romantic painters.

A railroad station turn into a subway station - Pelham Parkway in the Bronx.

Biden: We don't erase history. We acknowledge it, we learn from it, and we remember so we never repeat it again.

GOL DO CHELSEA ⚽️ Enzo Fernández 🅰️ - Tottenham 2x3 Chelsea 🏆 #PremierLeague

I had a surreal experience today. After I watched All About Lily Chou-Chou, I had a revelation. It felt like I understood everything in my vicinity. I wonder if this is normal, perhaps this film had quite the impact on me.

Time to do my annual rewatch of Trois Couleurs. The Trois Couleurs trilogy commenced my journey with French cinema and my education with the French language.

Many people are saying this!!!! www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/b...

I have been dealing with MAGA labor market data denialism so long that I forgot about woke labor market data denialism, welcome back 2021 twitter discourse
