“Some say that on this night at exactly midnight the heavens open. I don’t quite understand how they could open but that’s what they say: that on Midsummer Night, the Night of St. John, the heavens open. But probably they open only for those who know how to look at them.”

Lost my key fob last night. Summer solstice omen. Not sure what Jung would have to say about this.

The tallest building of the empire will always be in Canada.

[Reece Martin @RM_Transit]

Crazy that Canada now has a taller tallest building than Britain. Skytower is wild.

"Culture is a kind of mass hallucination, designed for middle-aged people. Because culture works best for them, you know, when you're less than middle-aged you're trying to figure out the rules of this collective hallucination, if you're past middle-age and you have been paying attention you know it's bullshit so you don't care anymore."

- Terence McKenna

"I settled down to long sweet sleeps, day-long meditations in the house, writing, and long walks around beloved old Manhattan a half hour subway ride away. I roamed the streets, the bridges, Times Square, cafeterias, the waterfront, I looked up all my poet beatnik friends and roamed with them, I had love affairs with girls in the Village, I did everything with that great mad joy you get when you return to New York City."

~ Jack Kerouac

Last night I was arguing with a friend about why design from the 60s–90s often feels better

Maybe because it sprung from a culture where people observed more than they consumed? Studied instead of scrolled

Pre-dopamine-economy with attention spans, so the work could demand more

Yūsaku Kamekura (1915–1997) was a pioneering Japanese graphic designer, dubbed the "Boss" of post-WWII design for blending modernism with national motifs. Born in Niigata Prefecture, he studied at Tokyo's Institute of New Architecture and Industrial Arts, launching his career with book covers and posters in the 1930s. His corporate logos for Nikon, TDK, and Japan Airlines elevated Japanese visual identity globally.

Kamekura's masterpiece is the 1964 Tokyo Olympics emblem, unveiled in 1961. Amid a competition with designers like Ikko Tanaka, his minimalist design, a bold red sun disk (evoking the Hinomaru flag) atop the five golden Olympic rings on white, paired with sans-serif "Tokyo 1964" text, won unanimously. Created hours before the deadline, it symbolized Japan's post-war renewal as Asia's first host Games.

“Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But it also gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.”
