@TallRomanStatue Much better. And I know it's a rendering but can we collectively please stop using veneer stone. Either the walls are masonry, or they're not, in which case they should be vernacular siding, stucco, etc.

[Justin Ridgely @jpridgely]

@KJP Yes yes I feel the same. My compulsion is old books and maps. Though right now I just started looking for several rugs for my almost-complete old house reno

@cityaestheticss On the porch you watched your neighbors.
Then the TV came.

@cityaestheticss Air conditioning and car dominance killed them.

Yes, and it applies to every facet of life. It's not like we, in this case Marx, didn't see this coming.

"The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his 'natural superiors,' and has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, callous 'cash payment.' It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervor, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom—Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation.

The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honored and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage laborers.

The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation to a mere money relation.”

But others too. Read the very recent Against the Machine by Kingsnorth. It's an excellent summary of money and technology's successful conquest of humanity. Of our very souls.

In 1900, you could redevelop a suburban neighbourhood into dense mid-rise almost anywhere in the world. Today, you can do it almost nowhere.

I call this phenomenon the ‘Great Downzoning’. The Great Downzoning is the main cause of housing shortages around the world.

Below you can see four neighbourhoods, in France, England, Spain and the USA, which were caught by the Downzoning midway through densification and frozen forever in a transitional phase.

How did this happen? An article and a thread.

@AustinTunnell Thanks for fulfilling my curiosity! Do you think the tumbled brick looks as good or close enough to salvaged handmade brick or new handmade brick (Old Carolina, etc.)? Or would you buy handmade brick if it were comparable price to extruded + tumbled brick?

@david_perell @Spyzguyz FB marketplace. Low down the curation spectrum which makes discernment more important but with the chance of an epic find for cheap

Recently, found this Janes & Kirtland cast iron fireplace insert for a nice price. Will be the primary fireplace in my home.

[Justin Ridgely @jpridgely]

@bobbyfijan Yea you can just I don't know...climb them. If you don't like steep stairs buy a different house.

Currently having this issue with 3rd floor egress reqs in my 1897 reno. How could I ever get down them without 3 inch wider treads and 1 inch shorter risers?

Ethereum’s future won’t run on one chain—it’ll horizontally scale across many.

Today, Syndicate and @eigencloud are partnering on "AVS Sequencer Networks"—programmable, decentralized sequencer networks secured by native token staking.

For many years radical onchain transparency has been paired with offchain obfuscation. This is finally changing and I couldn't be more excited.

[Syndicate @syndicateio]

Most networks publish token updates. Few open their books.

Today, the Syndicate Network Collective (DUNA) published its Q3 2025 financials—the first full, accrual-basis report from a decentralized network operating under U.S. law.

A new standard for transparency. ↓

THE COMMUNITY-FIRST TOKEN LAUNCH OF SYND IS HERE.

SYND will be the first ever Community-First Token Launch on @AerodromeFi on @base now integrated with @coinbase—a radically open, transparent, and decentralized model that puts the community at the center from day one.
