Please, alt-right dorks, I am begging you, just one history book. Just open it. Maybe you will learn something by osmosis.

If I had my druthers (and I don't get to, because I have a wife, and you know, a budget), I'd have a house completely decked out in brutalilst/industrial/midcentury modern vibes.

But brutalism as an interior design style is quite striking and beautiful, and people do not appreciate it nearly enough.

The exterior of a brutalist home with terraced gardens and clean lines.

A brutalist home interior in Central Mexico. The main focus is a sunken living space filled with plush green cushions. A woodburning castiron stove sits to the side, while various pots and items fill built-in concrete shelves. The whole facade is concrete, marble, and metal.

A brutalist interior featuring polished concrete structures an floor, with clean modern wood and fabric furniture and lots of natural lighting from floor to ceiling windows.

A brutalist interior design featuring a living space; the walls and floor are polished concrete, with an Eames-like lounge chair and a midcentury modern loveseat facing a round coffee table. A bench is against the far wall need to an end table. Floor to ceiling windows admit lots of light while the colors and accents liven up the dull concrete.

Most people associate brutalism with ugly Soviet or East German concrete monstrosities. And yes, large-scale brutalist architecture IS usually quite ugly, but I'd argue something like Habitat 67 is quite beautiful.

How do you go from Chinese international law to fundraising director at a pro-migrant charity to a general counsel position with an 11-year resume gap?

About preschool when the other kids told me I was weird. I never felt weird. But I was continually told I was. Now I know why, but I still don't feel weird. All you neurotypicals seem weird. I relate to my neurodivergent wife just fine.

If I were working in the yard, Jose and his sons would be right over to help me, with a case of Modelo. If they cooked out, they’d invite the whole neighborhood. Clevon would shoot you for knocking on his door.

Side note: it’s cool enough for a blanket on the couch so I got out my cat’s favorite and she hasn’t moved for 30 minutes.

I have Greater Thurian League models too. But I decided a list for an upcoming tournament could be a mix of both. So I have a Kapricus for each, some Hearthguard for each, a GTL Kâhl and now a YC Uthâr.
