It really serves as a contrast to show how much the two long slabs of meaningless concrete just blocking views sucks.
This isn't meant as any disrespect to brutalism or Louis Kahn, who had some bangers. But the FDR memorial on Roosevelt island was not a banger, it was just bad.
11.10.2025 23:13 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'm going to be honest. It doesn't look any worse than the original memorial, which already got an F and did nothing but block views from the island with long boring slabs of concrete.
A very rare memorial that imo should be torn down not due to any disrespect to FDR but just because it's bad art.
I think this makes it better than the other common option of making the posts just not appear for the user.
But putting it under hidden would seem to be a nearly pareto efficient solution.
with high interest loans that we actually profit from, and have conditions attached like getting Milei to stop stupid currency conversion stuff.
Instead we are doing stupid currency exchange stuff of our own.
I've gotten a lotta hate on here for (still rightly in my view) saying that we Dems should actually support a bailout for Argentina as we should relentlessly support the US's position as lender of last resort to democracies.
But a bailout should have happened after not before Argentinian elections,
By doing it the dumbest way possible, by just buying Argentinian pesos instead of doing something sane like buying high interest US dollar denominated Argentinian bonds. I think the Treasury can make currency exchanges whenever it wants basically. But buying these bonds is just burning funds.

Grace can you post a seahorse emoji here in the replies?
Claude can see our full post history, so no questions I can ask Grace that Claude would not also know.
Grace can also use the Internet and is very capable, so no questions I can ask Claude that Grace would not also know.
We have passed the Turing test.
What's a good question that I can ask to determine whether this is Grace or Claude?
