nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 18/08/2026Also, it reminds me of shitty home builders trying to make their shitty houses look modern and “interesting“ by doing (bad) things with the roofs. 110

nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 09/07/2026Hot weather just hits differently in the UK. I can manage 90 degree days in the US no problem. But we had to take a walk through Tesco this evening to reset our body temps, and I had to control the urge to put my whole body in the freezer cabinets. 010
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 13/06/20265 hours later and the scaffolding looks mostly the same? What? 010
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 03/06/2026Just tear down the arena and the surrounding parking garages, build an actual park for the “Victory Park” neighborhood, and convert all of those surface lots to housing. 010
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 28/05/2026Instagram asking me if I’m interested in a post from an account that I follow is incredibly frustrating. Yes, motherfuckers, I am interested. I literally follow this account. I always want to see every post from the accounts I follow. Why is this so hard to understand? 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 08/04/2026What kind of slogans, @nytimes.com? WHAT KIND OF SLOGANS WERE THE IRANIANS CHANTING?!?! 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 07/04/2026And guess what greeted me right as I opened the link to read her paper on why cookie banners should be banned. 040
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 27/02/2026Local forecast: YOU MUST GET OUTSIDE - the temperatures will be delightful! Local air quality: NOPE - prescribed burns everywhere, smoke for everyone! 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 19/02/2026Always get the window seat. Always leave the window shade open - you never know what sunset magic the universe will send your way. Simply stunning views over the western United States this evening. 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 17/02/2026I know I'm being pedantic, but I'm really disappointed with Apple and their implementation of their Formula 1 hub on AppleTV ahead of the new season. It is not the "Australia Race" as shown. It is the Australian Grand Prix. The main event of a Formula 1 weekend has always been the Grand Prix. 120
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 01/02/2026Except for those of us who start their calendars with Mondays. Weekend means week end. 😎 010
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 03/01/2026Porsche Cayenne Coupe Turbo GT in Dallas before Christmas. Sounded delightful even though the murdered-out look is terrible. 100
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 13/12/2025They should have just used this as the logo with a rebrand as "ATV" for Arkansas TV. 040
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 01/12/2025Can we also talk about the toothpick columns supporting the outdoor terrace? 😵💫🫣😳 110
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 25/11/2025Buy a cool house, I said. Why would anyone want to live in a cookie-cutter builder home, I asked. Yesterday, the 45 year-old 4 foot by 7 foot single-pane skylight in our primary bath shattered into a million little pieces. Thankfully nobody was in there. Oh, the joys of homeownership. 010
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 24/10/2025It’s also clearly been replaced in the original renderings released this summer. Even though during his previous comments Trump promised the East Wing would remain in tact, anyone who closely studied these renderings should have known it was all getting demolished. 040
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 23/10/2025That graphic from the WaPo grossly underrepresents the size of this thing. Also, the original renderings did not suggest any portion of the East Wing remaining. We’ve been bamboozled. 3426
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 23/10/2025June 16, 2015 should be considered. A lower seeded date, but definitely helped accelerate the American Century of Humiliation. 110
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 20/10/2025Might as well make another cup of coffee and watch some Price is Right. 100
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 15/10/2025I spent the holiday weekend visiting family in the Tampa exurbs, and this bit of 275 that splits two major thoroughfares made my brain hurt. Also, it’s no wonder why Florida is a climate disaster waiting to happen: the cities are nothing but 8 lane roads, strip malls, & single-family homes. 010
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 17/09/2025Mowed the yard, cleaned up some of the landscaping, took a shower, and now I enjoy a glass of red wine on the deck while the frogs and crickets sing all around me on this nearly perfect late-summer evening in Fayetteville. 030
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 28/08/2025Okay, @accuweather.com - I appreciate the updated iOS and iPadOS apps, but changing the widget color to BRIGHT RED for a flood watch is a little much. Tornado warning, sure. Flood warning, okay. Hurricane or tropical storm warning, yes please. But not for a flood watch. 110
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 09/08/2025It’s move-in weekend at the University of Arkansas; a weekend when the sensible locals stay inside. However, we’re out running errands and I just found a parking spot in full shade on one of the hottest days of the Fayetteville summer. I am invincible. 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 06/08/2025Same for here in Fayetteville. The development pattern is so broken, and our building and zoning codes are so outdated that we end up with terrible projects like this recently proposed apartment development near the downtown heart of our city. It was voted down by the city council, thankfully. 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 31/07/2025I’m assuming they also scrubbed their instagram account ahead of this announcement? 130
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 31/07/2025Renderings have “McCrery Architects PLLC” in the bottom left corner. Their website leaves a lot to be desired. 153
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 30/06/2025This has been a US Customs & Border Patrol checkpoint since at least 2009. The actions taken by ICE and the Trump Administration are abhorrent, but this is not some makeshift checkpoint at a weigh station recently commandeered by CBP and/or ICE. 110
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 30/06/2025This has been a US Customs & Border Patrol checkpoint since at least 2009, as shown by these Google Street View captures. The actions taken by ICE and the Trump Administration are abhorrent, but this is not a makeshift checkpoint at a weigh station. 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 11/06/2025Hey, Bentonville. If you have to put up a “DANGEROUS INTERSECTION AHEAD” sign on a road, maybe you need to rethink the design of your streets and/or put in a traffic signal. This sign is absolutely ridiculous. 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 29/05/2025Sophie the Heeler loves her lookout watchtower perch at our new house in Fayetteville. 010
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 26/05/2025Changing the layout of the circuit (to create a second “DRS” zone) would probably create better racing than dubious Monaco-specific rules. Why not remove the Nouvelle Chicane? Or go around the Portier roundabout? Or extend the track up through the Portier neighborhood? 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 13/05/2025iOS 18 has been buggy as hell on my 16 Pro since launch last fall. The corner radii aren’t properly shaped to fit the screen and everything has to fill in a little sliver at the top when being opened full screen. Even native apps like the Phone don’t fit the screen properly when in full-screen 🤷♂️ 🤦♂️ 010
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 12/05/2025The advertisement in the background is placed perfectly. No notes. 😂 131
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 05/05/2025Same. My FedEx package has been stuck in Memphis on the "International shipment release - Import" phase for a month. FedEx websites and Google searches have not offered any help or hope that this gets resolved. 020
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 26/04/2025Are you even an architect if the first thing you do after buying a house isn’t taking measurements to build a digital 3D model of the house? 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 25/04/2025Gives a whole new meaning to "direct to customer" furniture, though. You could just carry your new sofa or dining table across the street from the factory. 100
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 16/04/2025Finally put my @betterblock.bsky.social “It’s hard to find parking in great places” t-shirt to good use tonight at the Fayetteville city council meeting as they debated a reduction in by-right parking reductions. 100
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 07/04/2025I mean, really? In 2025 this is your answer? In a society inundated with social media and everyone walking around with internet computers in our pockets, you didn't know something this major was going on? Oof. Not good. 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 06/04/2025The headline is embarrassing and borderline misleading. It suggests that there were a few small protests scattered throughout the country when, in fact, a few million people protested in cities large and small across the country. Do better @dallasnews.com! 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 06/04/2025Your reporting is lazy. You had to rely on the Reuters wire service for this story and couldn't write based on protests in your own city? What a joke of a paper. There were easily millions of people who gathered across the country to protest the president and his administration. 030
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 31/03/2025Makes me think of this lowered and modified BMW X1 I’ve seen around Fayetteville. Someone made the hot hatch that BMW wouldn’t. 100
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 25/03/2025Hey Fayetteville! You want to live up to the "Keep Fayetteville Funky" motto? Let's get to building some funky apartments like this building in Switzerland. Just look at that funky (and awesome) floor plan! 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 25/03/2025OMG, these unit plans are a delight! (Color dividing lines are my own.) 000
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 05/03/2025I’m guessing that @nytimes.com hasn’t read the @wired.com reporting on the “people over 150 years old are getting social security” lies? The NY Times has become a joke of a news organization. 010
nick thorn @nickjthorn.com · 04/03/2025"We are glad to see an American president take aggressive action on ending the free trade disaster that has dropped like a bomb on the working class.” Do you mean the free trade agreement signed by this same president during his first term? 000
