Incredible article about a project that was always going to be a humanitarian and ecological nightmare
The foundations for The Line’s first modules — perhaps the largest piles ever laid by man — are also visible, waiting to support the world’s largest occupied building, if it ever arrives. The village of Qayal, which was a few kilometres from the “hidden marina”, has been razed. Fifteen members of the Huwaitat tribe who protested against their eviction were sent to prison, some for up to 50 years, and three others were sentenced to death, according to human rights observers. Some design challenges could not be resolved. The Line would block the migration routes through the mountains for several species of mammal. It also crosses a migratory route used by millions of birds flying south from Europe and Asia to overwinter in Africa, including endangered species such as the greater spotted eagle and European turtle dove. In early 2024, conservation experts named The Line as an “emerging issue of concern for global biodiversity conservation”.

happy birthday to me, i get to play the hits
tweet dated Sep 10, 2020: "fair play to my dad sending me the sarky card I made for his 42nd birthday, astonishing commitment to karmic justice" with two pictures of a badly-drawn homemade birthday card: front "HEY EVERYBODY! HE'S 42! OF COURSE..." inside: "...WE WON'T DRAW ATTENTION TO IT, WILL WE? HAPPY 42nd BIRTHDAY DAD, FROM ROB" with "DAD" and "ROB" crossed out and switched and the additional handwritten note "I guess if you wait long enough what goes around comes around!"
