Thanks. The illustration is actually based from a reference photo I photographed from my visit. The window was located on the left hand side of the platform, as you finish climbing the stairs. It gave me the best view of the city and the statue's tablet. Initially tried an early version with skyline sitting straight, but I didn't really like the composition.

Who is that guy and why should I care?

> Time to give control of the party back to the sane democrats.

Time to give it back to the adults. The NYU student progressives have no life experience, no sense of nuance, and laughably poor critical thinking skills and shouldn't be anywhere near the levers of power for their own good and the good of everyone else.

Or, the people offended don’t like to confront the results of the history of this country on people of color and would prefer to perpetuate it and return us to a state where we’re “less than” by pretending that people of color are “bitter” and racist and have nothing to complain about.

As a white liberal, I get very frustrated with how often the perception of liberal philosophy is defined by the right. I can simultaneously recognize problems in our national systems and how that impacts the people without feeling personal guilt as though I was responsible for creating said system. I can also recognize my responsibility to work towards a better and more equitable future without assuming guilt or personal responsibility for other peoples actions or hatred.

Respect isn’t a 0 sum game, but the point of this instruction isn’t about something as mundane as “respect.” It’s about policies and systems and a good faith effort to break systems that are discriminatory in their nature. You can be as pleasant as punch, and still hold up systems that benefit the group in power at the expense of others.

Sounds like an unfriendly place to me.

Working in nyc has ruined the skyscrapers for me. I know in each little window is a stressed out person.

Maybe not anymore in the age of wfh. But I know what it represents.

Making people feel good? So cringe. /s

It was just what I needed.

Hard to paint people doing boring things without evoking hopper. But you're definitely right lol

Getting some Edward Hopper vibes from this one.

Internalize the role… What a bunch of crap. Golden rule , treat others as you wish to be treated. Simple. No more of this crap

All city subs seem to have these cringe tourist posts. And they always get upvoted because they make the people living there feel good about themselves.

I hope the state restricts the Garden’s operating permit and makes them pay full taxes on the property when their lease expires.

Shoulda mentioned that. It's pretty rickys

Which bar in the LES? Also, cool painting!

I lived across the street from Prince Street Pizza for 7 years. It truly is the best grandma slice ever. It stayed a secret for a few years, then something happened, it turned on a dime and everyone knew about it. Lines around the block. 90 minute+ waits. I never got to go unless it was a torrential downpour and there was no line. Very glad you got to enjoy it.

Next time you’re back try Sauce (my favorite traditional slice), Scar’s (the kids’ new favorite), and the best sit down wood fired pizza, Little Frankie’s.

At least someone said it.

We just have the most influential “local” media in the world. People from all over the country read the damn NYT, WSJ, NY Post, the New Yorker etc. IIRC NYC is literally the safest large (>1M people) in the country

Probably wise. It's not appropriate to have a workshop on "the harmful effects of race X"

Of course neither the article nor the survey even mention what chang they're advocating for, just "it's tough on crime!"
