i am however a big fan of those silly lil dudes to be found @ the minneapolis federal courthouse and the nyc subway. there's also some @ the metrotech center in downtown brooklyn and, most delightfully, popping out the hudson on the upper west side.

Is this a statue of Queen Charlotte taking a canon blast to the gut? WTF.

Yep, that's Minneapolis' very own Mary Tyler Moore statue. Dear rest of the world...you're welcome.

The guy on the horse in the first post is none other than Nathaniel Bedford Forrest, Confederate general who later founded the KKK. It's a fitting statue for him.

Not as ugly as the Mary Tyler Moore statue, but I alwas thought it looks like he's being stretched out on the rack (and really loving it).

I agree with Anthony that the minimalist sculpture is just depressing as fuck, it makes Rothko seem all Hallmarky in comparison.

My favorite Vulcan story is the torch which shone red when a FATAL traffic accident occurred, but that it had to be taken DOWN because it was red all the TIME and disturbing people!

Of course, on the way down, it looked like the rain was going up.
There's a television station up there on that mountain that had a security guard who got mad at me while I was driving around, looking for an invisible statue.

the more i think abt this lab mice memorial the less gruntled i get
it is inappropriately cute and has the nerve to be ugly at the same time
we have gained so much of immeasurable value, saved & improved so many human lives, at the cost of terrible acts on creatures that are utterly at our mercy -- creatures that we bred, we brought into existence, for this purpose! to suffer for us, so our dumb asses might suffer less. they deserve a way more fucked up statue imo
(not that i'm finna fight about whether medical research on animals, and animal exploitation generally, is sufficiently justified by its benefits to humanity; just that it's insulting all around to try and paper over the moral complexity with this dumb cartoon of a wise little mouse wearing glasses and busily knitting a double helix for its beloved human friends)
