I have been writing about the 1926 Frankfurt Kitchen designed by Grete Lihotzky for years, but Ken Tadashi Oshima found a wonderful silent movie that shows it in action and compares it to the standard apartment kitchen of the time. Enjoy: lloydalter.substack.com/p/the-frankf...
The Frankfurt Kitchen comes alive in a silent movie
A find from the Living Modernity exhibition is worth watching today.

It's official: Today was the warmest Christmas in US history. It was raining and nearly 40°F here in Minneapolis.
Astonishing feat!
US will break its record for the warmest Christmas by ~5°F! That’s remarkable.
Anomalies are up to +40°F in the nation’s middle and as you can see the US has the warmest air - relative to average - in the World!

This also shows that comparison of accidents per mile driven should be checked for the bias coming from the fact that regular people have to drive in all kinds of conditions (to get to work, pick up kids, …) whereas AV operators can say ‘sorry, too bad conditions currently’.

Passersby are “unreliable”? You mean they don’t voluntarily take time out of whatever they’re doing to go up to a car that’s not theirs, that is probably tracking everything that happens, and fix the unanticipated problem of the door being left open?
“Because riders and passersby can be unreliable, Waymo pays workers in Los Angeles $20 or more for rescuing a robotaxi by closing a door, summoning help through an app called Honk that is like an Uber for towing companies.”
When robot taxis get stuck, a secret army of humans comes to the rescue
Waymo robotaxis get stranded when a passenger leaves the door open. Tow truck operators can get paid $22 to close a door and set them free again.

Today on Volts: I've got a nerdy one for you! I talk with political scientist @samuel-bagg.bsky.social about the epistemic crisis & its roots in social identity. He explains why factchecking & media literacy classes will never solve misinformation -- why something deeper & stronger is required.
The cure for misinformation is not more information or smarter news consumers
Political scientist Samuel Bagg explains why social identity is at the root of the misinformation crisis -- which calls for something deeper than factchecking.
