yeah, i stopped watching that segment when i saw where it was going.
i think, look--occam's razor says boring, maryland is right and he has gotten away with everything because the government never prosecutes white collar crime. i'm 90% sure something like this is the real answer.
but there will always be a part of me that wonders how it got this far. the people he has been dicking over, decade after decade, are also very rich and powerful. and no matter what, the money keeps coming in for him.

She said: “She’s everywoman and clothes would have restricted her. Statues in historic costume look like they belong to history because of their clothes.“It’s crucial that she is ‘now’.“The whole sculpture is called ‘for Mary Wollstonecraft’ and that’s crucially important. It’s not an idea ‘of’ Mary Wollstonecraft naked… the sculpture is for now.”

Smoking should be restricted to specific places even outdoors.
Like, I shouldn't have to breath in the smoke just because three smokers want to walk side by side down the street, blowing smoke back behind them.

The writer Caitlin Moran tweeted: “Imagine if there was a statue of a hot young naked guy ‘in tribute’ to eg Churchill. It would look mad. This, also, looks mad.”
This would be much better than any existing monument to Churchill.

Yeah the statue is infuriating. I am someone who kept an open mind about that Medusa by City Hall, but Wollstonecraft should not be depicted in the nude as it separates her from her male contemporaries. Making her “timeless” is stupid; she is relevant to us today because she was an acute observer of her world in the 18th century. You know, they don’t make statues of Kierkegaard with a backwards hat and his cock out.

Agree that the statue is crap but Wollstonecraft is not depicted in the nude or at all.

The nude woman is “everywoman” in theory right?
― treeship., Wednesday, 11 November 2020 14:39 (three years ago) link
Even in that case, idk. Most will see it as a depiction of her. And why depict “women“ in general to memorialize Wollstonecraft in particular?

Here are three:
a) Starman is Bowie's worst big single of the 70s.
b) Raspberry Beret is Prince's worst big single of the 80s.
c) Of the run: Blue-For the Roses-Court & Spark-Hissing of Summer Lawns-Hejira, Blue is the worst album.
