look at him. he doesn't even have any money

June 5th, join us for the debut of "Pullman Porters & Maids: Invisible Labor, Visible Legacies", a new solo art show by Shane-Jahi Jackson exploring the lives and labor of Black workers at the height of American rail travel through figurative painting rooted in archival records and family stories:

Bro everyone in this administration is clutching a 6 pack of mikes hard lemonade and having a tense conversation with Chris Hansen

Many such cases

Humanity’s epitaph: Everyday we found a new way to make the number go up! 🙌🥰🥳💀

Complete lack of object permanence. Our rulers can’t operate beyond “say good thing make number go up” fortune.com/2026/05/26/s...

‘dialectics’ is grad school for ‘there’s two of them’

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

What is today’s American architecture? It’s a fraught, diverse, messy & frankly impossible question to answer — but after reading a new book, I think part of the answer is resilient, resourceful, community-minded work. My latest for @fastcompany.com www.fastcompany.com/91547128/wha...

instantly rockets into the top ten list of anecdotes historians in 2100 will use to begin their books about our time

Let’s hear it for wholesome content, folks

This is the architectural programming equivalent of a 5-year-old playing pretend and saying they are Batman, Superman, a cowboy, an astronaut, and the ice cream truck man

“Roofs”

hazard pay for our beaver comrades or we're striking

Middle age is crying on your way to Starbucks (only coffee shop open at 6:30 AM) to write a sternly worded letter to your state representatives to get them to fund the fucking public schools what are you even for man

If I could rap I'd make a song called "I Feel Like David Harvey"

Just cold-emailed William Cronon to help me out on my stupid little project lol

a flock of bluesky users is called a cringe

I learned about a new psy-op today therumpus.net/2014/02/25/t...

For @archpaper.com I reviewed the Citygroup exhibition on prolific houser Herman Jessor. The show closes Saturday, May 23! "Our current dreams for architecture and housing justice pale in comparison to the reality that Jessor helped shape." bit.ly/JessorKubeyAN

I love New York City, but I will say I've never seen anyone in Chicago jumping on Instagram to sublet their bedroom for exactly 8 days.

If you want to use the argument to get rid of literally all public goods (and many billionaires really do!) you certainly can.

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

still waiting for AI to solve climate change

Just got a data breech letter from my doctor, one of easily a dozen over the last few years. There's a real opportunity for a wacky euro-style single issue party to emerge here. . . .

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

You’re fretting over the spatial poetics of wicker / I’m interviewing Fred Hampton’s lawyers about bullet trajectories thru doors and FBI informant floor plan sketches / You and I are not alike

More from our Turin trip with @c20society.bsky.social. La Serra Complex, Ivrea. Igino Cappai and Pietro Mainardis, 1968 - 1970s. Originally a cultural and housing complex. Apartments providing temporary accommodation for Olivetti executives have yacht-like interiors.

BROKE: It's anti-Semitic not to root for the OKC Thunder WOKE: The OKC Thunder must be returned to their ancestral Zionist homeland, in Seattle

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

Getting closer

Hmmmmmm are there any other military conglomerates the have undue influence on their country’s government in the Western Hemisphere? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The trump admin doesn’t wanna talk about how much boomer grandmas love the Lego IRGC propaganda videos

If anyone tries if explain what Instagram instants are to me I will throw you out of a window

Its’s really goblin-mode day over here

I downloaded a few files from the FBI's official archive and now I'm locked out and this is what I see if I try to access another file.

I'm looking at COINTELPRO files from the 60s and 70s (it's for work, I promise) that are still intensely redacted, and I'm pretty sure the purpose here is to give twitchy dissidents a busy box to claw at when we already have a pretty good understand of what was going on.

American Century of Humiliation

Being a school principal is the hardest job there is. Don’t talk to me unless you have to decide if it’s better to layoff the music teacher or the school counselor b/c a billionaire wants a sports stadium with more luxury boxes so they can have the worst ppl in the world tell them how cool they are

Dudes rock

This is probably the best thing I’ve ever read on the de-industrial / postmodern / neoliberal turn in the development of cities, post 1970s. Obviously, it’s by David Harvey fcp.uncuyo.edu.ar/upload/harve...

You can't "earn" a billion dollars and none of their examples did. Michael Jordan earned $93m playing basketball. He's worth $3.5b today because of our meticulously-engineered legal, economic, and tax structures that prioritize accumulated capital and property over everything else.

Much like Microsoft Flight Simulator made me a pilot.

We’re gonna trash our society for an ep of black mirror so stupid it never made it to air

Um...so I accidentally stumbled onto the UVA law library's collection of 6,000 drawings by courtroom sketch reporter Ida Libby Dengrove, who worked in NYC mostly in the '70s & '80s, & they're kind of...amazing..?? This one is tagged "Clown Attack" (thread) archives.law.virginia.edu/resources/18...

Well well well it looks like decades of ruling-class moral rot and selective austerity has rendered college an expensive cultural affection that is not critical to living a successful and meaningful life.
