Would I date this #Denver building? Mayan Theater We go way back and have woven in and out love and friendship. He’s not been taking care of himself, but there’s an underlying beauty. We occasionally cuddle, snack on Pringles, and watch The Criterion Collection, but that’s all I want.

I have a new book coming out on November 12 :) My way of thanking the archaeologists who worked on and published on archeological sites older than 11,200 years before the present, thereby reclaiming the deep indigenous past of the Western Hemisphere. www.bloomsbury.com/us/reclaimin...

“Showy and detached and hyperformally expressive buildings cannot be merely coincidental with showy and detached men who believe they have a lot to say.” @monchaux.bsky.social judges David Adjaye’s recent museum projects in NYRA 50. nyra.nyc/articles/debris-of-separation

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The good taxpayers of New York have given me a pair of Meta glasses because I am low vision disabled, and I seem to have used them more than a lot of people on here, so let me say a little about my experiences:

Do you care about biking and E bikes in California? There is a terrible bill in the state assembly that will cripple the e bike industry and one of SF's representatives, Matt Haney, is a sponsor. This law is so severe our current bike share bikes would be banned

"The more common way to do this sort of thing in 2026, it seems, is to start an email newsletter...I am not doing that. I am just posting on my personal website...But why?" cc @zunguzungu.bsky.social re: #bloggingisback + more

The Suncor refinery is a smokeshow. But perhaps we're being unfair to Colorado's biggest polluter just because it occasionally belches black and yellow smoke for our lungs to enjoy. So we looked at how Suncor's pollution compares to similar refineries.

In solidarity with the resignation of the entire 2026 Venice Biennale voting jury, fifty-four individual artists and twenty-two teams affiliated with national pavilions have now withdrawn from consideration for the Visitors’ Lion awards. www.artforum.com/news/venice-...

Childcare in the US increasingly depends on “patchwork” care: relatives, multiple providers, shifting schedules, and parents working while caregiving. Our latest research shows families are being forced to make impossible tradeoffs just to keep up.

"Through language, architects convince themselves that they are on the right side of the struggle and that they remain a creative and intellectual discipline rather than purely a service industry mostly serving the wrong side."

Oh my God, this is disastrous. Biographic absorbed Hakai Magazine after *their* Canadian-based backers completely cut support. Good science journalism is needed more than ever, but without philanthropies willing to step up and break free from their self-imposed 5% rule, all of us will collapse.

Abolitionist John Brown was born May 9, 1800.

We finally got it together to order plants from @suburbitat.bsky.social this spring. Spent a lovely day in #Loveland and got so inspired visiting their beautiful gardens and Colorado habitats!

"In the Black Radical Tradition, abolition refers to the creative and rebellious reimagining of our society, of our schools, of our institutions, of our families. And we are reimagining in ways that acknowledge Indigenous sovereignty."—Saul Williams

The whole building is a huge super-conductive antenna that was designed and built expressly for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence.

destroying the trees themselves instead of the peaches is where this goes from unmitigated greed into actual evil

I’m stupidly excited to say that Chromatic Architecture, a book I’ve co-written with the wonderful Kate Mazade for RIBA Publishing on the beauty and importance of crafted colour in Architecture, is now available to preorder… amzn.eu/d/04PTsp3H

At the bottom of all this is just people who hate their jobs and want free money for not doing them

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

Good interview with Owen Hatherley. His speculation on the background to these projects is not informed but the alternative visions for the city are excellent.

What wet beauty to wake up to! Sorry about your trees.

The results from India's elections are indeed bleak. A disastrous defeat for the left. A massive mandate for Hindu fascism. Terrible, and very frightening for minorities and for the poor.

Fun now! More later!

“At a moment when Australia’s far-right party is surging in the polls, viewing these works together feels especially significant: they offer alternate ways of conceiving of ‘Australia’s’ land and collective history”

Would I date this Denver building? The PA LIONS Getting help for a shopping problem. Open his closet door and risk an avalanche of designer sweaters. Working to get out of debt— with the goal of buying a house. We went to high school together and bonded over the same bullies. Maybe another time
