The funny thing is on the inside almost all of Gehry’s buildings are terminally boring and ordinary. It’s sheer gimmick.

he’s a divisive guy!

don’t want to QT the op but this is actually one of my fav gehry buildings. Absolutely brain breaking

I love riding my bike to the place near O’Hare where everyone does it

watching an episode of modern marvels about air travel that was clearly filmed before 9/11

Oh yeah this is my thing for sure

what’s a good game to play on my iPhone. I need to do something mindless

Internet censorship stuff has me blackpilled beyond all measure

Weirdly as a Millennial I never feel like this stuff is targeted at us. Gen Z gets the stuff Claire’s describing, Boomers get AI generated images of Obama sacrificing kittens, and Millennial content is like “OMG! Anybody remember the Motorola Razr? I dressed my kid up as Dwight from The Office”

You’ll find out this week

I think I’ve been architecturally spoiled by living in Chicago. I am surrounded by architectural splendor every day and it just becomes normal to me. I need to spend 2 years in the sticks to recalibrate

I have made this mistake 🫣🫣🫣do not yell at me

Walter Benjamin, “The Storyteller” (1936)

i would argue the contemporary "celebration" of incest begins in the 1970s and is distinctly different from other historical forms

where it's so openly permitted and increasingly destigmatized in the general culture instead of the unfortunate business of haute bourgeois political hegemony and quotidian backroom violation? probably

I side with my physical health on this one but find it emotionally painful

It’s probably fine now bc the level is like 85 but I can’t recommend going when the level is over 100. it really catches up with you fast

/r/skincare is obsessed with his supplements tho :/

key figure in my grand semi-serious thesis that we are living in the incest century lol

great essay

Olivia Giovetti | Against Consensus During the curtain call for the closing performance of Verdi’s Il trovatore at the Royal Opera House on 19 July, one...

‘Verdi’s popularity as a composer, especially in Italy, was in part tied to the way his operas went against the global consensus. Even his least overtly political operas were subject to censorship.’
