What is a California airport? To me, it’s airy. Light filled. A structure that is sophisticated but does not take itself too seriously.
Its job is airport.
The San Diego airport has a new California terminal by Gensler.

I really think blaming the managers / tactics for these things is a vile practice. Clearly it's possible but there are other, better explanations, and they mostly point to widespread disregard for players' wellbeing among those who run football. Distracting from that w/ manager accusations is vile.

Dinner should be onions. And only onions.
Looking for some advice: my friend is bringing his new girlfriend over for dinner, we haven’t met her yet or know much about her except that she’s a Shrek. Just want to learn more about what’s normal in their culture so we can make her feel welcome and make a good first impression

Bonkers that this is a thing that continues to happen with regular occurrence
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

That should be a red card and lengthy suspension for Martinelli there. Shoving an injured player like that while he’s down.

One of my biggest takeaways from living in Tokyo was that the city is incredible in spite of the fact that 95% of the architecture is unremarkable.
It makes the years-long design review process for a single apartment building in the U.S. seem all the more frivolous.

Tokyo is a city that makes the argument that architecture is irrelevant.
What matters more is urbanism:
The street network
The density
The freedom of uses
The clustering around rail
