Why does modern architecture have to be so ugly? The new floors plonked on top of #Olympia. Meanwhile the old gates a few hundred yards away some beautiful old gates enhanced by stylish Halloween decorations @createstreets.bsky.social

Ask Bertrand Russell "How does fascism begin?"
He replied:
First, they fascinate the fools.
Then they muzzle the intelligent.
