Isamu Noguchi designed the Lunar Landscape as integral to the architecture of the interior of the building including built-in lighting & suspended sculptural elements. It’s the only intact architectural Noguchi lunar in extant.

Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of opposition parties, the suspension of freedom #ShieldOfResistance

Banning ‘The Girl on the Train’ isn’t just about censorship, it’s an attack on the voices of women who are navigating the layers of motherhood, marriage, & societal pressures. Author Paula Hawkins’ explorations on the dark realities of womanhood deserve to be read. She joins me at 11a on #Velshi.

I'm going to withdraw completely from knowing what's going on in the world. It all sounds like the background newscasts in ROBOCOP these days. I'm just gonna sit over here and write my weird-ass movie columns while things burn down. Don't mind me.
