Why does a foreign insurance company with a few floors in the building get to rename a landmark? The Empire State Building has been the Empire State Building since day one. d'oh!

Names of monumental structures should not be changing names. But I'd make an exception for Trump Tower Chicago. Obama Point or Hillary Heights are just two replacement names which come to mind.

Hot Take: We should rebuild ancient and forgotten buildings.

Not in terms of historical preservation - though that too - but I mean we make a new library of Alexandria. Create the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Let’s have an ancient temple to Greek gods in Central Park. Let us live in glimpses of the past by rebuilding the culturally significant moments and fill them with historical knowledge so that as I live my day-to-day life I can remember the footprints that have been washed away in the sand.

oh my god sometimes America is so funny in a positive way like today they shut down the airport for an hour and got a million crazy clearances from the government and the military to fly planes over the national mall which is like one of the most restricted airspaces in the country

All so we can sit around and look at funny planes go brrrrrr

Like amazing incredible fantastic this is the true meaning of freedom

#me if I was flying a plane in a city with only 1 tall building: *accidentally hits the Washington monument*

BRO 😭

No the fuck you aren’t

Btw they’re both crafted using the exact same materials except the good one uses metal and Sampo’s uses trash

#idk why I’m reading item descriptions #worth for the sampo mention #also did you know that the mourning actors flew over jarilo-vi hundreds of years ago #they wrote an eulogy because of the destruction the legion caused and then left #later the architects found a beautiful stone and build the ever winter monument with it (mixing it together with geomarrow)#sampo koski #hsr

if you’ve ever wondered why i am the way that i am just know that i was raised by a man who built a 1:1 scale model of mont saint-michel in survival mode minecraft over the course of several years with nothing but google maps screenshots of the place. and he refuses to put the fucking thing on youtube

#my father is basically one of those insane minecraft build youtubers #except he does it exclusively for his own enjoyment and never shows anyone except his wife and children.#this is not the only gigantic monument build he’s done. he did some famous hotel and a bunch of bhuddist monuments also #and like. some cathedral i want to say. can’t remember #all in the same world. all on survival mode. completely vanilla no cheats or worldmods whatsoever #so anyway. that’s why i’m capable of writing 46 pages straight of video game character analysis. the obsessiveness runs in the family #personal

Yellowknife, NWT (No. 10)

The Northwest Territories Legislative Building is the home of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories, in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The territory's legislature has used many permanent and temporary facilities throughout its history. The most recent structure was built in 1993 and commenced usage in 1994, being officially opened that year by Canada's monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. Designed by Ferguson Simek Clark/Pin Matthews (of Yellowknife), in association with Matsuzaki Wright Architects Inc (of Vancouver), the building is two stories tall and contains two round halls: the Great Hall and the Caucus Room. The grounds, overlooking Frame Lake, were laid out by Cornelia Oberlander.

The Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly, or Legislative Council of the Northwest Territories (with Northwest hyphenated as North-West until 1906), is the legislature and the seat of government of Northwest Territories in Canada. It is a unicameral elected body that creates and amends law in the Northwest Territories. Permanently located in Yellowknife since 1993, the assembly was founded in 1870 and became active in 1872 with the first appointments from the Government of Canada.

Until 2014, the assembly was officially defined under federal law as "Legislative Council". However, under Northwest Territories territorial law, it was defined as "Legislative Assembly". The federal name was changed when the Northwest Territories Act was rewritten in 2014. Under different periods of its history it has alternated names.

Members of the Legislative Assembly are sworn in by the commissioner of the Northwest Territories.

You say, "Well, I'm not sure it is a guy with a white beard." For instance, somebody a few years back said that God might be a woman. Well I must say, since Linda's died, l've thought, "Have I got a contender!" [laughs] That would be my most devout wish, I could handle that. She's a real good candidate - she'd be very merciful, yet tough as nails.

Paul in January 1999
