Tokyo & HK: East Asian shopping paradise. Yet Tokyo fashion so much quirkier, design-intensive. Japan:China::UK:US.

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Japan: feudal warring elite. China literati v feudalism. Tout s'explique! Japan intensive, compressed puissance. China extensive pouvoir.

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Week holiday in Japan with R Flanagan's 'Long Road'. Japanese were crueller to Chinese than Aussie POWs. Yet war crimes only for latter.

@OneRovers New keeper Steele and Duffy were strong. Evans bossed 1st 30 min then faded. They cut thru us but no finish. V happy w 3 pts.

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Roy Hodgson. No Joachim Low 0.9 seconds per pass, but - dwelling on ball. No closing down up the pitch. No work on defending.

Playtime, Julien: London declined till 1986-88, when Middle East wealth fueled City and property market. Without this no Canary Wharf.

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Is Julien Playtime about property? Walk out of Victoria Miro to number 4 bus, you see new Canal side development.

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Isaac Julien Playtime. Better than Ten Thousand Waves. Is it about Financialization or rise emerging markets- China, Dubai?

Rome： the ancient in the modern, of course! But: Which ancient? What modern?

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Rome beautiful. Food, clothes, architecture. Slow walking, classical. Zweckmassigkeit ohne Zweck. But where is the infrastructure?

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Ancient Rome: the world's infrastructure city. Roads, aqueducts, the engineering city. Today's Rome 3 metro lines. 'City on the take'?

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Italy is classical. France and Germany modern. Britain contemporary, yet world's oldies building stock.

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Rome is beautiful. Italy is early modern beauty. Britain and France knowledge.

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

@Alitalia Pressed wrong button for return flight to London and was made to pay 880€ penalty.

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

@Alitalia Horrific ripoff

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Operaist biopolitics support money and often markets in an anti-capitalist common. a vitalist (v. Newtonian) time of machinic subjectivation

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Critique of neoliberalism through common via local money separated from capital and green urban agriculture subscriptions. Algocap.

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

Algorithm & Capitalism at Goldsmiths today: how neo-lib and its critique are questions of information

[Scott Lash @ScottLashTheory]

In neoliberalism (i.e. not neoclassicism) market=information. Commons is another poss mode of governance of both economy and information.

@pamwtka Saturday is McEwan's worst:destroys urban edge by making reader pity Baxter and side with the unsympathetic 'perfect' Perrowne.
