Great news; privatising the airports (along with everything else) has been hugely successful for Britain over the past 40 years.

Next up, a spectacular piece of Canadian Brutalism - the University’s John P Robarts Library. It’s from 1973 and was by WBTL with Mathers & Haldenby. In his book on Canadian architectural styles, Don Mikel likens it to a concrete peacock, given its overall shape. Triangles are a recurring motif.

Thank you @jamellebouie.net - it’s been driving Canadians bananas to see the light response from democrat & anti-Trump Americans to this particular vibe (and why the broken trust goes far deeper than just Trump now. Generational wounds to the relationship.)

Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.

The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin". www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Trump is the most American of Americans. A photonegative of our unchecked id, an unruly brat destroying for the sheer lust of negation – a brutal, willfully ignorant hollow man who comports to the worst stereotypes that before only seemed to be half-true. The rough beast, whose hour has come at last

CRYSTAL PALACE, we have drawn you, so strap in for a wonky thread of substandard doodles of Cap'n Glasner & friends. P.S. This is our first batch of drawings since we jumped ship from Twitter, so if you know any Palace fans who might enjoy this stupidity please do point them our way x

A poor-to-middling drawing of Crystal Palace FC manager Oliver Glasner, rendered in pencil and pen in the style of a faux Panini-style football sticker. He is wearing his now semi-infamous off-white roll neck sweater, oddly evocative of those worn by WWII-era U-Boat captains.

Discourse on the estate WhatsApp about cladding replacement work just stepped up a notch.

Screenshot of a WhatsApp message reading: We strongly agree with the comments about the importance of the lines. They are not decorative but articulate structure and break up excessive expanses of colour. They are an essential part of Ralph Erskine's concept of how to structure and humanize larger elevations. This is more than an aesthetic question. See Peter Collymore, "The Architecture of Ralph Erskine", Academy Editions 1994
