Right. The problem is that some 20th century modern architecture is very beautiful. What determines what appeals to the “human sense of beauty” and what has to be crammed down people’s throats? I made some half-assed attempts to answer that question here. https://t.co/UajWMHTzRo [second item] One theory–“survival of the coolest”–makes sense but doesn’t explain all the dreary modernist spec buildings I see in L.A., which are not the coolest.

P,S,: I’m happy to give Biden some credit to the extent the bipartisan CHIPS Act, passed in 2022, has been generating jobs in semiconductor manufacturing, etc.. But the numbers seem much bigger than CHIPS. Trump also gets credit for keeping CHIPS going. Credit all around! Just stop believing @steverattner https://t.co/bErb5cFU9H

It’s a very American story of uncredentialed citizens–an ex-Marine working as an accountant in Connecticut, a paramedic with an expired license who was fighting addiction–who rose to the occasion. Unfortunately Hollywood gave the assignment to Oliver Stone https://t.co/knmjTvxhg1

PF Sloan, who I believe invented the Grass Roots, wrote or co-wrote a huge number of hits and put out 2 excellent albums on his own, and had Jimmy Webb write a song about him, is not in the Rock Hall of Fame, which is kind of shocking. https://t.co/rUmyRq1yTF

It looks (tentatively) like the new At-Home-Parents plan does have a work test–one parent in the household must work. “Under the proposed rule changes, the [money] would also be used to pay married parents … when one parent works and the other cares for the child. … Single parents who do not work are currently not eligible for the subsidy, nor would they be under the new proposal for married couples.” https://t.co/q3DSCha1KB

Do the lawsuits against Fox really help explain Bartiromo’s punishment? Usually in an ongoing lawsuit (as Smartmatic is) you do NOT fire the reporters/anchors involved, lest they cooperate with the other side and say that e.g. Fox suits egged her on https://t.co/NEOoQawwHj
