I guess most of its fans know it for its collection rather than its museum. From the wikipedia page:
The Morgan Library & Museum has long contained a collection of illuminated manuscripts,[230] which date from the sixth to sixteenth centuries.[118][146][231] As early as 1923, the Morgan Library counted 560 illuminated manuscripts in its collection,[232] a number that had grown to over 1,100 by the 21st century.[231]

Republicans weren’t committing genocide in 2024 -Democrats were.


Just saying, when you support genocide, some people will take a stand, and you won’t always like how they do it.
. . . not to mention lying about it, calling opponents of genocide antisemites . . .
I’m sorry if you still can’t see how some people would look at all of that and realize that both sides want them dead.


The Democratic party’s support for genocide makes it really hard to tell where the legitimate criticism ends and the trolling begins.
And that’s nobody’s fault but theirs.

I just don’t get the appeal. I’d rather read a book, scroll Mastodon or look at the scenery while traveling than have to focus on the road.
I don’t think Americans realize how many hours of their lives get wasted just so they don’t have to sit next to strangers.
