'You know what would look sick in our massive, empty warehouse?'
I want a canvas painting of this image nicely framed to hang inside my small warehouse that I built inside my wooden cabin. As a reminder that things aren't always as they seem.
Celebrity home! Rustic! Only $1.8M!
What backrooms level is this?
Might also be an SCP.
I think I seen this in Control.
That's definitely an object of power
Youse did?
See? The government would rather lock away a perfectly good cabin than help the homeless!
This image makes it look like an SCP
That would make a great scp, a cabin that turns you into the Unabomber .
Weird, nothing changed when I walked in.

Antifa Headquarters
I don’t know why you’re implying it isn’t, it drove Ted nuts
That’s the government? I would have expected a fancier building, tbh.
They save the fancy stuff for Keter class threats
Had the exact same thought…
That is not an effective use of space.
You can fit 17 of them in there though.
But does it spark joy
It is aesthetic, and probably a metaphor but not sure for what. I could probably come up with something if you gave me a minute. Maybe about the futility of life, or its overlooked common beauty, it's usually something about one of those. We had a downstairs bathroom window that was overlooked.
"Let's go visit Uncle Ted's Cabin." they said.
"It'll be a blast!" They said.
This government is so fucking stupid
Exit through the gift shop
Why does the FBI still have it sitting in an office somewhere? Does the US government usually just save everything related to cases, even long after the subject is dead?
Maybe they just think it’s neat
2026 and 1998 are different times. Kaczynski's pled guilty in 1998. The cabin is currently owned by a privately run museum.
Huh, the article implies that the FBI still owns it... or am I misunderstanding?
While the cabin itself now sits in the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., Barnes’s photos are housed in the collections of major museums throughout the country, including the Museum of Modern Art, SFMOMA, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Nope, I was out of date. The private Newseum museum had it for years but closed and the FBI took back the cabin and put it on public display along with other notable items relating to the FBI.
We have top men working on it right now.
Top...men...

Because they absolutely love Ted Kaczynski, they didn't just take his cabin and put it in a warehouse, they painstakingly took it apart and built it back to exactly how it was before , all the way down to the placement of pens.
but why tho
This is pure speculation and has no basis in the case: Unibomber was a very smart guy. Math PhD. He was cryptic and went to great lengths to stay hidden He alluded the police for a decade plus. Numerous psych profiles were totally wrong. He was untraceable. His bombs were built from used scrap parts or simple manufactured parts. No tractability to point of purchase.
Here is my speculation.
They might have been looking for keys coded writing. Having the cabin intact to the nail would allow them to go back and look for the keys to read codes. A good key wouldn't be too hidden, it would be accessible and have a dual purpose. Book cyfer, I'd say a solar sun dial but that would be so complicated. Again the guy was a literal genus.
Game recognise game.
This Unabomber guy was ahead of the curve in the tiny house trend. /s
If you read the beginning of his manifesto, he was way ahead of the curve for where we are now. Meaning the over use of technology and it destroying a sense of community.
But if you read it all, he was also pretty fucking nuts.
Oh, obviously. Subjected to terrible psychological abuse which probably contributed to his decline https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/impromptu-man/201205/harvards-experiment-on-the-unabomber-class-of-62
Or Lumon Industries maybe?
New season of the Rehearsal is looking stramge
Why would Benihana-ing the place to a storage facility be of value? I get the sense that police, detectives, and the FBI are stupid.
If the X-Files has taught me anything, it will be important for solving another case later related to the black oil.
In the article linked to the post, it explains that Kaczynski's lawyers were the ones who wanted it originally removed from its location and preserved.
In an effort to protect it from snoops and vandals, lawyers requested to have the cabin moved from its original site outside of Lincoln, Montana, to a nearby Air Force base.
As the trial approached, the cabin became the focal point of his lawyers’ planned insanity defense. Only a madman, they argued, could have lived in such primitive conditions.
If you think the reason is stupid, sure, but it wasn't the FBI that made it so important to a potential trial.
