Some really professional work by YouGov this morning.

eBay doesn't authenticate or check antiquities sold on its platform in any way, but don't worry, they will 'authenticate'* a luxury purse.

The ProQuest AI 'Research Assistant' summary of my dissertation is yet one more example of why I'll be eschewing AI in research for the foreseeable future.

Heart overfilling with gratitude to have the privilege of a second amazing trip to Chandigarh working on the Chandigarh Chairs project (before a detour to Delhi for ICDHS14!).

More INCREDIBLY serious stationery for an INCREDIBLY serious academic.

Notre-Dame de Paris is looking good post-facelift, but I remain disappointed and inconsolable the proposed plan to place a public swimming pool on the roof was not selected/enacted.

Runner up: Catbus.

For me, it's Corbusier's design for Tokyo's National Museum of Western Art.

Finally getting ready to pull them together to counter the (dealer and Western elitist) narrative that Corbusier's buildings in Chandigarh have been 'mistreated' or 'underappreciated'.

Been visiting Corbu sites in France for years now, documenting signs of wear and tear, use and abuse.

Strongly appreciate the distinction made by the Musée de l'Orangerie in their current exhibition (Heinz Berggruen, un marchand et sa collection) between date of design and date of object creation for this Picasso sculpture. Wish this could become commonplace in the field of design!

I am a serious academic and have the stationery to prove it.
