I think all we can do at this point is to bring kindness and wonder to every moment. Anything else is delusional and arrogant. It’s all so confusing. What are we to make of all that we’ve done as a species and yet we still can’t elevate ourselves past our greed and fear. 2/2

I’m thinking about my dad a lot tonight. His broken idealist heart. How he saw the whole universe in each individual he met. I think about this often. He meant every word about how we, as a species had wasted our potential. 1/2

Hard to overstate what a sinister figure Elon Musk is. Never seen one oligarch in a western democracy intervene on anything like this scale with unending Goebbels-grade lies.

Manhattan in the 1930s was an architectural wonderland, marked by the rise of iconic skyscrapers like the Empire State Building, symbolizing the era's blend of Art Deco elegance and industrial might.

The Empire State Building, New York's most iconic Art Deco marvel, wasn’t just built; it was raced into existence. Incredibly, it took just 13 months to rise to the sky, ahead of schedule and under budget. Here’s how they did it. 🧵

Talking about the loathsome piece of shit and Elon Musk, this is one of the most powerful, on point speeches I've ever hear from AOC — who just keeps getting better and better at this. 🎯🎯🎯👇
