Views of NY from The Met's rooftop garden. Sculpture installation by Petrit Halilaj.

Closer view of the spider-like metallic sculpture against a dramatic cityscape backdrop, with buildings in varying heights under a cloud-covered sky.
An abstract metal structure with figurative elements resembling a bird, set against a backdrop of a cloudy sunset sky and urban high-rise buildings. A soaring (real-life) bird is also captured in the frame.
A simplistic, abstract metal sculpture resembling a stick figure, stands outlined against a dimly lit sky.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

Morning Y'all.

A QOTD related to yesterday's discussion.

Will China end up dominating the EV market, and if so how long will it take? If not, why not?

Well this sucks.

This "Sending hundreds of heavily armed cops down to bust the skulls of a bunch of idealistic college kids until they stop getting radicalized" plan seems full proof.

Today I'm framing up this picture of my folks where my Mom looks like the femme fatale in a 70s crime thriller, and my Dad is the country rube that she's going to frame for murder.

Morning everyone.
Let's do a movie #QOTD today.

What is the coolest actor/car combination in a movie?

Peggy Noonan thinks culture is dark and ugly without realizing that culture is a comment on and reflection of the dark, ugly society she and her ilk are destroying. They don't do irony.

They really like the new EV macan. https://youtu.be/aG6EZr6uP00

It sounds like they were paid four million dollars to praise this thing. He says the comfort mode with air ride is incredibly luxurious and in sport mode it feels like a super car. “It’s that special… It’s really that transformative”

It sounds like the does everything car now does everything better.

Sometimes being a car guy is incredibly embarrassing. Grateful for all of my weird car pals for not being like this.

GT racing is superior to F1.

Why? Beats me. Cooler cars is a huge factor of course. But then I feel almost all track racing, and of course any kind of rally, is superior to F1.

As a professional jewelry person I'd recommend Zuck try being a brooch guy.

Nobody trusts a thin gold chain guy.
Everyone loves brooch guy tho.

Although this theory has not been tested on guys that facilitate genocide.
