Modulightor Building, New York City - Paul Rudolph

For people who don't know about this building, some quotes from this NYT article: (ID in alt)

Seems like @fourdiagnosesinatrenchcoat isn't alone.

"and a trash chute “that sounds like a bomb” when garbage is tossed"

lmao, @xylophonetangerine is correct apparently

Oh noooo. The rich people don't get free super fancy breakfast.

How terrible. /s

Mind you that they don't even live there anyway, so all of this is just extra pathetic.

Now I want someone to do like they did on the 9 month cruise and just get in to spread stupid gossip.

At least someone is aware.

This building is just hot garbage sold to people who are also hot garbage, but it does highlight some of the common issues that people who live in these skyscraper apartments deal with.

The big thing I've learned is don't idealize those high up NYC apartments.

And definitely don't fucking buy one.

Apparently the 1300 ft trash chute in 432 Park Avenue does not have any breaks or offsets in it to slow down the garbage so stuff thrown away at the top floors easily reaches terminal velocity and sounds like bombs going off when it hits the bottom.

Hundreds of Jews and allies... took over NBC’s famed 30 Rockefeller Center headquarters in NYC to disrupt [Joe Biden's] appearance on [Late Night with Seth Meyers] and make it clear that supporters of genocide are not welcome in our city. 50 protesters were arrested. President Biden’s deadly foreign policy has expedited weapons sales to Israel, ignored the World Court’s determination that Israel is committing genocide, suspended funding to UNRWA, and vetoed three UN ceasefire resolutions. The growing public consensus on the need to prevent further loss of life in Gaza as the death toll eclipses 30,000 cannot be denied. Yet President Biden has still pledged an additional $14.1 billion in military funding to Israel. The President needs to start answering to the American people – not the far-Right Israeli government indiscriminately bombing the people of Gaza, destroying 70% of infrastructure, including hospitals, universities and the electricity and water grids.
