Das höchste der DB Gefühle heute: verspäteter Zug führt zu verpasster Verbindung, aber man erwischt eine frühere Verbindung die noch verspäteter ist

#168: Gero and Karl Band, St. John the Evangelist, Cologne-Stammheim (1969-70, demolished July 2025)

UT Austin is discussing eliminating or consolidating our departments of African American and African Diaspora Studies, Mexican/American and Latino/Latina Studies, and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Here is what AAADS alumni have to say. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

chicago heads! tomorrow I'm doing a @nyreviewofarch.bsky.social panel with venerated Marxist scholar Doug Spencer about writing about architecture and the weird capitalist juncture we're in now chicagoarchitecturebiennial.org/program/nyra...

Mamdami ein Islamist, der ein Kalifat errichten will: Was der Chefredakteur der Welt, Jan Phlipp Burgard, zur besten Sendezeit im Ersten verbreiten kann, ist nicht einfach nur Stuss, sondern ehrabschneidende Verleumdung.

[P] Found a higher-quality photo; IT *IS* TAPED UP SHEETS OF PAPER!

once again, I can make this really easy for Democrats: "Trans Americans are Americans. They deserve the same rights as everyone else." That's it. That's all you need to say. (also people like it when you actually stand up for people)

This was horrific to watch. Agents entering a daycare, wrestling with and abducting a teacher in front of small screaming children. I just… what the fuck are we doing here.

alle ironie und zynismus mal bei seite die antwort auf die rechten spinner kann nur sein hab mut mach dir nicht ins hemd die angebliche mitte zu verlieren lass dir nix von milliardär zeitungen sagen und tu einfach was richtig ist

You know what else took a big ‘L’? The unquestioning pro Israel crowd & lobby, *both* repub & dem. Mandani cheerfully, but firmly refused the received orthodoxy & took a principled, moral stand… and… it didn’t seem to cost him.

Mamdani's speech is SO GOOD: respectful, generous, sparkling.

#166: Erich Valder, Church of the Three Kings, Leverkusen-Bergisch Neukirchen (1969-1971) (look at that ceiling!)

This made me cry

This made me cry

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

#165: Wolfgang Schmidtlein and E. Zunn, Protestant Church of Grace, Pech (1957)

Kann sich bitte jemand dieser Gesamtausgaben Schiller und Goethe im Tauschregal der Kölner Unibib erbarmen

Yeah I'd say she's one of my favorite singers

Textual language, as experienced through both reading and writing, is one of our species' near-magical achievements, so of course now every tech-dipshit landlord wants to build machines and reproduction economies that dissolve it like acid.

“All the donuts have names like prostitutes” Tom Waits has to be one of the craziest white boys ever to do it

Four great novels about architecture so you don’t have to read The Fountainhead

Several people have worked on him over the years. There was even an exhibition of his architectural work in Hannover back in 1994. This seems to be the most recent study, but certainly should be room for more: www.scheidegger-spiess.ch/en/product/g...

To my mind, not only is this a direct attack by a UC central admin content to capitulate and emulate the federal position that arrived via extortion letter, it is part of a much larger plan, congruent with UC central admin, of weakening and eliminating faculty governance and power.

The President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, PPFP, has been a jewel in the crown for faculty development and recruitment at the University of California for years and the results have been an expanded faculty with almost 100% tenure rates — unprecedented success.

UC Provost Katherine Newman has announced plans to defund this program, a preemptive capitulation with the feds that has not been ordered and should not occur. Newman has done this with zero consultation with campus-level leadership and none with any faculty — mentors or former fellows included.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

There in the corner of the eastern sky The tortured angel of your rising sign Darkens the evening with his one good eye An evil omen of the dopest kind

Complicity of liberal institutions with the crackdown on student protest paved the way for the crisis of academia. To defend our work we must sever the link with the security state. Come join us at U of C tomorrow, where we will discuss how to confront the hiring of the inveterate liar John Kirby.

Relatedly, it's worth highlighting how outrageous it is that when Trump threatens to punish New York if it elects Mamdani, Cuomo's own impulse is to try to use that to score cheap political points against Mamdani, rather than to call out Trump for the threats. He's all opportunism, all the time.

Fascinating.

Hi, we're Silicon Valley- you probably recognize us from classic inventions like 'Chatbot That Drives You Crazy', 'The App That Gives You An Eating Disorder', 'A Bus, Except Worse', and 'Doorbell That Reports Directly to the NSA'

in lieu of engaging with brianna wu and her opinions i will once again post her art, along with an artistic statement from her husband explaining it

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

This is important

Possibly my favorite rambling song youtu.be/P3MkLzAkscc?...

Over 10,000 killed within three days. Pools of blood around a hospital so large they could be seen from space. An absolute nightmare.

For 125 years, the preservation of the White House has functioned as an agreement between the influential and the powerful, with no accountability. When Donald Trump demolished the East Wing, he showed once again how unconstrained the Presidency really is.

Last Halloween, I took a Pilates class with only older ladies and me. The playlist was all spooky songs like Monster Mash until Ghost Town by the Specials came on. Amazing moment
