I’ve had dreams like this. Sculptor Michel de Broin took doors from MR-63 métro cars and turned them into this interactive installation at Arsenal Contemporary gallery in #Montréal.
Très Inception!

Larry Summers (World Bank/Clinton admin/Harvard president/Obama admin) yukking it up with Jeffrey Epstein about women being dumb and society coming down too hard on perverts makes me wonder how all women are not constantly Becoming The Joker

Most architects have designed their first museum project in architecture school. Therefore, most architects have the capacity and knowledge of museum design despite the rarity of commissions. Institutions should know this or be ill advised.

Might you have missed some of the depth of Tuesday's results, beyond the big headline races?
I'd been watching roughly 200 races heading into Election Day, so here's a thread of some of what you don't want to skip over!

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social who did amazing job as Transportation Secretary. Trump & Musk & Duffy have destroyed extremely stable & necessary government services so quickly & thoroughly, their attempt to deflect blame are absurd (and won't work)

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

“every time theres a republican president the economy collapses” feels like pretty easy messaging on the economy
