A bedroom with a bed and two lamps. All three walls are bookshelves from floor to ceiling.
We visited an open house in Harlem tonight. Gorgeous place and this is my dream bedroom.
Imagine sleeping surrounded by all those books. They come with the house (if you want).
A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years
Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.
Everyone has their own line in the sand ... this is mine.
But he's just a renter! Renters are not allowed to demo a property they don't own! There oughta be a law.
It should say "... and the Frogs are boiling mad." Soros should print up a batch.
As the Epstein files inevitably leach out, and they will, the new excuse will be a corollary to that old chestnut "Too big to fail." Now it will be "Too rich to sin." 🤑

Holy pedos Batman!
Dr. Patricia Esquete and Dr. Sasha Montelli join us to talk about the fascinating world researchers found on the seafloor when an iceberg the size of Chicago broke away from Antarctica.
A list of things everybody should know…
This fountain in L'Aquila was designed to look like it's pouring lava for a brief time each day when the sun hits it at just the right angle.

Under a bridge, an old mattress lies on the ground. On the wall behind it is painted in spray paint, a chest of drawers with a TV on top, a window with curtains, and a stand with a birdcage and bird inside. A homeless man painted this. Homelessness must end.
