I think they should have done it with the lights inside each window. That would have been more impressive.

How come her story isn't more known?


I served a family in Funeral who lost their mother a few years after their father died. The mother was born in france and during the war she used to transport secret messages to the allies by hiding them inside her bicycle frame and helped lure soldiers to the forest where other people did the killing. her son said that she feared the french collaborators more than the actual nazis for how quickly they turned their own people in.

her family moved to canada after the war and lived up north and her husband worked in a mine. While working in the mine he heard someone whistling an old french song that he recognized that was made in his old village, so he tracked down the whistler and found this old german working the mine. he asked where he heard and learnt that song and he said back during the war when we were fighting in a village, the other soldiers used to whistle it at night and it stuck with him forever. the husband said he used to whistle that to get into the germans heads and they both realized that they had both been fighting each other in that village in that war. they became friends until death.

these stories should become common and be made

Until the molecular transporter or the hoverboard are invented, we will continue to outguess the future.

A shame it took a pandemic that killed millions for people to realize remote work would work.

Bigger shame that some companies are trying to force people back into commuting because keeping office space is expensive. Here's an idea: GET RID OF YOUR OFFICE SPACE. No reason you can't turn an office tower into a vertical neighborhood. 3 levels of retail and restaurants, a few "park" floors and the rest housing.
