Authoritarian leftist as a means to a libertarian socialist end. Civic nationalist and American patriot. Democracy is non-negotiable. Uniting humanity, fixing our planet and venturing out into the stars is the overarching goal. Jaded and broken yet I persist.

There is an old ATT headquarters building done in brutalist style. Its... interesting. Especially since the days of the great ATT corp, telephone system to america are long past, it has been neglected and is slowly deteriorating. Very surreal place to go and work in

According to Wikipedia, that building is alleged to be the location of an NSA mass surveillance hub called TITANPOINTE.
Really ties the whole place together.

I thought that was 33 Thompson street in the city. The att long lines building. It was built to withstand a nuclear attack, during the cold war it literally was ground zero.

Thomas street. Place I am talking about is in New Jersey.

Thomas street is where the nsa is, yes.

What I'm getting from this is, AT&T has some weird obsession with making their important buildings really, really strange.
