A trillion dollars could solve virtually every problem. Any problem at all. But instead it’s all just going to Some Guy

“I served my country…” Does this mean you lived on taxes? —just for clarification purposes

Art can't be a luxury made by and for the few. But the cost of living has made it impossible for so many New Yorkers to create the culture that makes this city beautiful. I joined Mayor @ZohranKMamdani at MoMA PS1 to talk about my journey in the arts and keeping NYC vibrant.

Worth noting: only 60% of Americans own stocks. And the top 10% owns 90% of them. A booming stock market just magnifies inequality. The rich make out like bandits, the middle benefit a little bit, and the working class gets left behind as usual.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

If we liquidated Elon Musk as a financial entity we could each pocket $3,000. Just putting that out there. 3K. Not bad.

I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die. And there is now a trillionaire.

GWOT veterans... Take 3 minutes and watch this explanation of the elements of the proposed GWOT memorial. It might change your mind. It did mine. Thanks @JDKeelingIII for sending this my way.

They have turned the Lincoln Memorial into white fucking trash

GWOT vets- I’m working on an alternate concept to battle this mistake. I’m just fleshing it out, and unlike the @GWOTMF, I actually care about what you think, and frankly, I could use the help fleshing it out. We need a monument that actually tells our story. One that an eighth grader in 2126 could visit and walk away with some understanding of who we were, what we did, and why we did it. It necessarily must TELL OUR STORY. Towards that end, I maintain the walking path concept, but one that differs greatly from the hippie donut version. I want visitors generations from now to walk a path where they trace the history of the war, told in bronze statuary vignettes, with one (or more) for each year of the war. It, of course starts with 9/11, then progresses through Afghanistan, rising in physical elevation requiring visitors to climb a staircase up a hill to convey the uneven, mountainous terrain. The path splits in 2003, branching off and downward to Iraq, which should effect more of an urban feel, with portions even mimicking a facade of a Baghdad alleyway. Major battles will be captured. It will honor heroism, loss, defiance, and the character of those who served. Right now it’s just an idea in my head that is fighting like a madman to get out, but my only tools are grok and runway. Anyways, here are some AI generated mock-ups for some of the vignettes I envision. More in replies along with some descriptions

May you burn for eternity🔥
