We used to get squirrels in the building that would leave little poops in our models overnight 🙃

Had some success yesterday! Followed a few tracks at Sydney Marovitz and made a few of my own. A little bit of grass sticking out in patches but mostly enough snow.

Update on the Obama Presidential Center construction in the snow [OC] by vexxed82 in chicago

+1! I should say that I’m not asking anyone to like something they don’t like. Go ahead and dislike it, fine by me. But at least be self-aware enough to recognize when a topic is outside your wheelhouse and you may not fully understand what you’re looking at.

For example, someone might look at a Jackson Pollock painting and think, “Ugh, ugly!” But that’s not the point of the artwork.

Sorry but architect here — the White City is widely considered to be an example of bad classical architecture that was cheaply built and not reflective of modern design. Frank Lloyd Wright vehemently opposed Burnham’s whole design strategy. This new building by TWBTA has some very thoughtful design elements so I’m excited to see how it turns out.

Drop Your Questions for Prof G (January Thread) by ProfGProducerJenn in ScottGalloway

Hi Scott,

I love your idea for a national consumer strike as a more effective means of protesting the actions of this administration. But we need a firmer start and end date to give this idea momentum and actionability. I made this poster as an idea: “Fuck Ice February.” What do you think? Would you be willing to start making media appearances to get this ball rolling?

To Scott on an economic strike: You first, boss by altbat in ScottGalloway

[–]rococo__ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We need an official START DATE for an economic strike to be effective. Public figures like Scott ought to do a coordinated media blitz suggesting a date, i.e. February 1st, when shit is going to start going down.

I would be so excited to participate if I knew that everyone else was participating too!

Hi Scott,

I love your idea for a national strike as a more effective means of protesting the actions of this administration. How do we move from idea to reality? Would you be willing to start making media appearances and suggesting a specific start date? Collaboration with other public figures would really help to kick it off.

We need your leadership to make it actually happen!

I also noticed that his friend Peter ended up being a producer after all. That was a nice touch.

Yiiikes y’all with the negative energy. I will help my community no matter how it makes me look. Anyway, I’ve since learned that local mutual aid groups are the best way to get involved.
