Kiss a jet age masterpiece goodbye – I.M. Pei’s Terminal 6

20111006TerminalEmbed1-articleInline

 

WHILE ABC has conspicuously begun to celebrate the early jet age, the Port Authority has begun to tear it down.

Terminal 6 at Kennedy International Airport — a crisp island of aesthetic tranquility by the master architect I. M. Pei — is being demolished. The boarding gates are already piles of rubble. The main [...]

randoma, autumnal-style

 

they've got a good collection of ww2 posters at alsaudioillinois.net , if you like this sort of thing.

 

i miss summer already. >_>

not that we Vacationed At Home, at all. i’m glad for the rest from what was starting to seem like constant travelling –  it’s improving to go new places, [...]

[something approximating a status]

<something about my offspring that is inherently boring and not the least impressive, even though i think it’s TOO SPECIAL FOR RATIONAL DESCRIPTION IN HUMAN LANGUAGE>

<something about my hobby, whatever it is, that i am inordinately proud of although i am not terribly good at it, unbeknownst to myself>

smoove criminal gangster dieselpunk lovin’

what. you come up with a more descriptive title.

this is what i am talking abowwwwd. it’s like the dieselpunk fairy godmother tried to reverse-engineer an Ape for Emma Peel, and got hopelessly bewildered, and this was the result.

click it. it likes that. but not too much, or it will impale you nimbly [...]

no means no.

 

because how she’s dressed doesn’t imply consent.

10 Everyday Acts of Resistance That Changed the World

10 Everyday Acts of Resistance That Changed the World by Steve Crawshaw and John Jackson — YES! Magazine.

these are all good, but i was particularly struck by the first one, because i can totally picture entire towns full of everyday polish folks, fed up to here and choking on it, defiantly taking leisurely [...]

Passive-Aggressive Scooter Theft Retaliation is Passive-Aggressive

AIR MOLESTER. (no, this isn’t a TSA rant.)

Man allegedly karate chops air marshal – CNN.com.

i’m a very hands-on person, and stories like this confuse me. why would you “alert your companion” if someone in the seat behind you was deliberately groping you and making the sexy-motions? why would you do *anything* except scream in their face and [...]

Fred Phelps is a Con Man

anyone who may remember my rant about the Westboro Baptist Church when they showed up here might also remember how many people huffily insisted that OMG THAT IS SO WRONG, THEY ARE EVIL AND SHOULD BE VISIBLY OPPOSED AS POSSIBLE, et c., et c.

but come to find out that i am not the only [...]

Stormtroopers trying to break into cars in Centennial?

LOLWUT . uh, yeah. those are thieves in white puffy outfits, guys. although this would have been completely awesome if it had been otherwise.

“sport,” “scooter,” and how i don’t think they really go together

Scooter of the year – 2010 – Detroit scooter | Examiner.com.

i’m trying to talk myself out of my possibly irrational lack of respect for the “sport scooter.” which is pretty much based on the sentiment:

if you want to ride a sportbike, for shit’s sake stop pussyfooting around and buy an actual f’in sportbike.

much ado about arsenic

and while i’m venting my perhaps astonishingly capacious spleen, seriously, NASA? this is news?

Dec. 2, 2010 — The discovery of a bacteria that can incorporate arsenic into its DNA adds a new dimension to what has long been accepted as the building blocks of life as we know it. Until now, biologists have [...]

hey writers- feel like tossing your cookies?

i saw this on on Tattered Cover’s fbook newsfeed and, between the pitifully amateurish spelling error in the first post version and the nauseatingly fakey quality, it made me throw up in my mouth a little. (all right, a lot. figure of speech, don’t you know.  poetic license, still got mine, never expires.)

“perilously precocious”? [...]

so very tired.

Ali MacLean: Hey, Have You Heard of That Horrible Show Called Fox News?.

i don’t know whether this chick actually hangs around with people this vapid, or if maybe the massive inanity is something she habitually channels every day, and this piece isn’t actually novel or clever enough for me to care which it is: [...]

Toob Friday – Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans Tour

so while i’m working on technical tuning matters and being really boring, watch this.

YouTube – Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans Tour.

they built this after i left town, but imo it’s not a huge loss. in fact, its current state is something of an improvement if you like abandoned places and urban decay, [...]

Reminder: Roman Polanski raped a child – Broadsheet – Salon.com

Reminder: Roman Polanski raped a child .

really, that’s all there is to say.

he is a child rapist. he ought to be listed and punished as a sex offender. not because punishment rehabilitates–it certainly doesn’t; and not even because anyone who is prone to rape children would pay any attention to his being made [...]
