You’re saying that originality = good.
Ok then, point me towards the many modern inspirational statues that celebrate western culture, celebrate aspiration and ambition and inspire us to think big, dream of greatness and beauty….
Just because it follows classical style doesn’t mean it’s not contemporary. The context of today is a culture that has lost touch with its history, too often celebrates infamy and celebrity rather than accomplishment.
This statue aims to remind the world and the people who visit Starbase of what it means to aspire to beauty, grandeur and grace amongst a sea of boring architecture, cost-minimalism, ugly but “modern” art and uninspired city scapes.
This is not larping. This is a cultural message worthy of being heard throughout the west.
The audacity and boldness of the artists to pursue this mission amongst the tutting and self satisfied clicking of tongues from the culturati who have deemed themselves the arbiters of worthiness is itself a perfect reflection of the statue’s primary message to SpaceX and humanity.
Regardless of the naysayers, the doubters, the armchair critics and so called experts (from art to aerospace)… pursue your dream, claim fire from heaven and be so bold as to believe you can change the world.
Original, timely, unique, beautiful, reflective and bold instigator of conversation and change. All the things which make art impactful.
@salltweets this article headline in the @theTiser by @Lauren__Dailey (who has won several awards for her coverage of domestic violence) rejects reality in favour of the false identity a pedophile used to abuse a young girl.
A pedo MAN, Josh Dean French, is free to roam after being released upon completion of his sentence. He befriended a Mum with a young daughter, doing “girly sleep overs”. Turns out he was part of a pedophile ring…
But the headline… pedo woman…
Shame on you Advertiser and Lauren for rejecting sex realism and rejecting women.

@MickamiousG@grok It’s also the government’s reliance on stamp duty, which disincentivizes moving and rewards higher house prices with more tax paid to them.
With no stamp duty, housing liquidity/velocity would explode and right sizing would happen everywhere releasing supply.
@AtelierMissor_ Never lose hope, your mission of beauty, reverence for the past, inspiration and remembrance is a noble one honored and appreciated by millions and more in heart who’ve no knowledge of your deeds.
@amberdawn1786 @BillAckman@BernieSanders@elonmusk@SpaceX SpaceX has driven down the cost for launch, saving US taxpayers billions.
Buy a stake in AI through owning some of SpaceX and you’ll go along for the ride.
@brivael This unfortunately reads like a hopeful wish from someone with an axe to grind than analysis of what contributes to perceived success/wealth.
Libraries, filled knowledge, have been freely available for some time. This has enabled some movement, but the world remains.
@politicsusa46 Your language of “understanding the enemy” mirrors that of the fascists you’re supposedly against.
Your dismissal of illegal immigration as a scapegoat without a legitimate cause is what got the democrats into this.
This is an excellent video, but an incomplete solution.
@smith_john73462 @t0ddmart1n @SpaceX@elonmusk@lookner Since the automatic flight termination software was triggered (explosive charges on the ship) it was blown into tiny pieces. These enter at supersonic speeds from high altitude, mostly burning up into dust. Only a small amount of debris would have landed in the ocean.
@smith_john73462 @t0ddmart1n @SpaceX@elonmusk@lookner Flight exclusion corridors are established, including potential zones that debris could come down. The debris fell exactly within this corridor, so no flights were at risk at any time unless they breached an exclusion zone. Similar exclusion zones are set up when a volcano erupts
@GeorgeMonbiot We should remove income tax and hike VAT/GST. Tax consumption at the source, the purchase. Then we need to increase fines and investigation for companies providing fringe benefits to avoid individuals paying it (paying your rent, car, dinners etc). Otherwise, encourage investment
