A lot of attention is paid to craft traditions in Western Europe and North America, such as handsewn Hermes leather goods and bespoke Savile Row suits. But the uneven focus leads some to believe that things made outside of these places are low quality. This is not true. 🧵

Four percent of the sand on Normandy beaches is shrapnel that has been broken down over the decades into sand-sized chunks. See the smooth sphere? It's shrapnel, sanded down to a smooth, microscopic ball.

The redstarts are back, said Wolf, who was sitting in a sheltered spot in the kitchen garden eating saffron buns. Look, over in the hazel trees. I'm going to talk to them, Old Fox, want to hear about the desert & Dakar & everything. I would perhaps let them settle in first, said Old Fox.

France bans bee-killing pesticides. Bees are the engine of our agriculture. Without them, our food supply is put at risk. Healthy soil and intact habitats form the foundation for true sustainability.

Millennium Park preps for BluesFest, which begins on Friday. The chainlink is down at the Pritzker, the lawn glistening, seats refreshed and reinstalled, trellis de-reusted, proscenium shining. Glorious. Orchestra season begins next Wednesday!

Architect Walter Gropius visited Chicago in 1928 & stayed at the Drake Hotel. He snapped shots of the Robie House & the Tribune Tower. In 1922 the Chicago Tribune had an international competition for its new headquarters. Gropius & Adolf Meyer submitted a design for a modern glass & metal tower.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

We bought our cargo bike on Upway for 40% retail with 600 miles on it. It's an amazing kid and cargo hauler, and turns heads every day. You can even carry a grandpa in it if you want! Super satisfied customers. So far we're putting ~250 a month on it, most of which would be in a car otherwise.

Yesterday I saw several black suvs with aftermarket emergency lights along Western from Irving up to West Ridge. I assumed it was CPD, but it is so disturbing to have law enforcement in unmarked cars. Real real low-trust society authoritarian regime shit, and I am sick of it.
