Upon seeing the entry for Marie-Antoinette’s private theater, I felt an urge to proclaim the Amargosa Opera House as Death Valley's "Mona Lisa". I was lucky enough to get a private tour and it was like stepping into one of the world's greatest works of art in the most bizarre of locations. The pictures don't do it justice but <a href="https://lenspire.zeiss.com/photo/en/article/mario-basner-captures-the-artistic-beauty-of-the-amargosa-opera-house" rel="nofollow">https://lenspire.zeiss.com/photo/en/article/mario-basner-cap...</a>

I thought I saw "woman with a polecat" in the SF legion of honour gallery. Maybe it was on tour. (This is at least a decade ago and possibly more)

Every culture has that one thing outsiders reduce to a joke or a meme. Rarely bothers to ask why it matters to the people it actually belongs to.

 Colin Percival (cperciva), upon being dismissed due to never having won a prestigious mathematical award such as a Putnam fellowship, revealing that he had in fact won a Putnam fellowship in 1999.

(Most favorited post circa 2020, though now that would likely be something else.)[0] <a href="https://jgthms.com/web-design-in-4-minutes/" rel="nofollow">https://jgthms.com/web-design-in-4-minutes/</a>
