One of the most stunning exchanges I've ever seen on here, branching out into multiple, simultaneous threads, quote tweets, etc. Can't capture it all, but here are some of the main branches. Politics twitter has nothing on engineering twitter. If you've got a few min, be amazed. ImageImageImageImage

Some scans of harder-to-find Japanese art book images to dispel feverish and monotonous election vibes. Starting off with some Amano.

"Briarcliff Manor has a number of wealthy residents, and was rated 19th on CNNMoney's 25 Top-Earning Towns in the U.S."
The Briarcliff Manor's police department's troubles with unsavory cops goes right up to the level of the ex-chief himself, who was suspended without pay in 2015 for an infraction that no one in the department will discuss.
