New York Times:
"Plain as the building might be, the entrance was like a spilled casket of gems: platinum, bronze, hammered aluminum, orange and yellow faience, and tinted glass backlighted at night. In 1929 American Architect magazine called it “a sparkling jewel in keeping with the character of the store.”


"Upon learning about the historic building’s imminent demolition, and recognizing the cultural value of its ornamentation, the Metropolitan Museum of Art convinced Trump to remove portions of the historic facade and donate them to the institution."

"Soon he was backpedaling, after realizing that it would take two more weeks and $32,000...to properly take the reliefs off the building. Using his fake alter ago, a “Trump spokesperson” named John Baron, he told the New York Times in 1980: “The merit of these stones was not great enough to justify the efforts to save them.” His construction workers chopped up the metalwork with torches and let the sculptures fall to the ground to crack into smithereens."

Two, 15 foot high, irreplacable, Art Deco bas-relief sculptures smashed by Trump to save $32,000 in costs to remove them.

Bioshock Infinite - First Official Trailer

rebuilder says...

The visual design looks vastly improved. There was something... dull in the previous games, as if the designers weren't quite up to scratch. I guess Art Deco is tough to pull off in a game, seeing as it relies on very refined forms for its grace. There's some of the same clumsiness still here to my eye, but it's much better overall. Having colour helps, the whole shade-it-black thing with the previous games seriously jarred my eyes.

Awesome pool table made of glass

Noam Chomsky on Pornography

shuac says...

Sorry but not all pornography is humiliating to women. As with any other industry in the world, there are demand-based differences, aren't there?

Are all cars manufactured in the world sports cars?
Is every building constructed done with an art deco design?
How many different kinds of beer are there in the world? Why do you think that is?

The problem with pornography is in the eye of the beholder and I'd bet green money that the biggest opponents of pornography are Americans, who've basically cornered the market on being ashamed of sex and thinking they're morally superior.
