@culturaltutor i think something that is often obscured in these discussions is not the problem of bad design, but bad investment. Take Gilbert Scott’s phonebooths. They require an investment beyond the bare minimum. The focus now is on ROI, not pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction.

Gaza and Barcelona are twin cities. The Gazan local government has sent a farewell letter to Barcelona. This is an imperfect translation of the bit has been made public. It's the saddest thing I've ever read.

Twitter is the clearest example of “seeing the forest through the trees”. It’s ADHD content model ignores the interconnectedness of our lives, engaging in reductionism to its fullest: fully serving the murders commited by the powerful to maintain power. Stop living in binaries.

@GoodWillsmith The best art somehow manages that uneasy partnership of joy and despair.

After the war Arendt said that the most difficult thing was to love the world with all of the evil and suffering in it. I want to add, in loving the world, what is often most difficult is letting go of the ideological impulse to be right. But it is necessary.

@acidhorizonpod WHAT ABOUT MY EDIBLE PANTIES

Twitter has to be the most half-baked place. Full of uncritical self-righteousness. Alright, I’ll go to bed.

True socialism (and true governance) will not begin with a gun, but municipal grocery stores. Businesses run for profit tend to only benefit those who do profit and not who are supposedly served.

[Mayor Brandon Johnson @ChicagosMayor]

Access to grocery stores is already a challenge for many residents, especially on the South and West sides. But all Chicagoans deserve to live near convenient, affordable, healthy grocery options. https://t.co/3Vm4aeCzL8
