Evidently someone's a fan of Those Who Remain, but as I'm currently partway through a #SystemicDesign for #Complexity course, I enjoyed the everyday example of a rebalancing causal loop diagram.

Superb book by @samfr.bsky.social - lots of familiar stories marshalled together in a compelling narrative that explains our current predicament.
Hard recommend

Lovely 80km gravel #bike ride in Hertfordshire, finished with #vegan orange drizzle cake at the waterside cafe

Absolutely bowled over by Alterlaa in Vienna - high density mass #social #housing done right. Transport hub, community facilities and shopping all included!

Vienna is an amazing city anyway but Alterlaa alone is worth the trip.

Even though you can barely see it from the street, Coop Himmelblau's original project in Vienna didn't disappoint. If felt like such a big deal back in the day - whilst others were getting tied up in deconstructivist nonsense, they were just having fun!

The Hook Norton Brewery is an absolute unit. Highly recommend the tour

Fabulous weekend with an e-cargo bike. Rode to Hook Norton for the brewery tour and back. 180 miles through the Cotswolds and Chilterns over 3 days

Continuing the niche #bicycle posting. Today I dismantled the hub and adjusted the spring to change the gear threshold. Put a rear brake and flat bars on the bike and it's rolling perfectly. Bit of a mission but got there in the end.
