Upon exiting to the north, visitors of the building will find themselves close to the Japanese Garden.

Plaster model for surrealist ceiling sculpture by Isamu Noguchi. Ceiling plane painted bright yellow. Portions project and scooped out are white. The forms are anthropomorphic and suggest an egg, microscopic cellular division, and a zygote. These forms fascinated Noguchi from his time in college studying biology toward becoming a doctor. These forms reappear in his work throughout his career.

Isamu Noguchi • model for Magic Chef Building’s Lunar Landscape, cast plaster, paint, plexiglas and metal attachments, 1946-1947. Model: gift of Mr. and Mrs. Harris Armstrong.

In the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum. Architect: Harris Armstrong, FAIA.

Calls for deportation will morph into calls for placing people in detention camps. Violence against those chosen for these punishments will be self-reinforcing & shootings and punishments will become justified in the minds of the oppressors (US Gov’t.). Shooting & jailing protestors will be okayed.

Corporations give money to Trump because they, like him, only care about themselves.

My understanding is that the new administration will em i ate this service as a favor to his donors.

Genuine POS.

Some have accused me of virtue-signalling when I call Trump a useless POS.

@jennaschmenna.bsky.social Jenna, I’m starting to understand that the basic “robot infrastructure” used in creating Julia is a beautiful woman whose memories and desires have been wiped and replaced.

anything that you would like for the insurance to cover that has value you need to describe. Ideally you should have documentation, receipts, other references to things that you’ve purchased.

We need millions of people to make it clear climate change is a massive problem. We do not want to “Drill, Baby Drill.” We want renewable energy. Four years of Trump’s support for oil companies could make things 40x worse.

A detail of the Lunar Landscape ceiling was designed by Isamu Noguchi. St. Louis, Missouri (1947). Photograph by Andrew Raimist.

Isamu Noguchi designed the Lunar Landscape as integral to the architecture of the interior of the building including built-in lighting & suspended sculptural elements. It’s the only intact architectural Noguchi lunar in extant.

Take away the golf course from him. He committed national security crimes there sharing top secret information illegally.

I’m so sorry you’ve had to face these agonizing decisions.

WTF??
