Proud of a lot of the writing on my weird little blog here, shame it doesn't have any readership but... it's pretty niche tbh. Though if your architectural interests do incline towards the likes of Habraken, Turner, Team X, well then please have at it...

"Is this the road we're going down now, to go lockstep with many other European countries in terms of brutalised repression against protesters?"
Horrifically violent footage from Saturday. And still no statement from Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan, nearly a week on.

More than 50 boats, carrying activists from 44 nations, are sailing together toward Gaza—the largest civilian flotilla in modern history. A united stand against the illegal siege, bringing hope and solidarity to the Palestinian people.

It seems to me that what Morgan has very obviously done here is considerably worse than the stuff that had coppers storming through Nicola Sturgeon’s front door and digging up her back garden live on national television, and everyone is saying it’s old news and there’s nothing much to see.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros.
