A dream come true to be joined by @mcmansionhell and Teshome Douglas-Campbell for the final episode of our @TheSAHGB podcast series on “Architecture and Media”, a reflection on criticism and the Internet via Thomas Heatherwick, tumblr and much else: open.spotify.com/episode/07I2qM…
61% of teachers at Oxford University are (in U.S. terms) contingent and largely paid below minimum wage. It’s amazing how all over the Anglophone world university administrators have inherited great and storied institutions and dismantled them. theguardian.com/education/2024…

Trying to reframe unfettered development as “good for minorities” is a a tale as old as time. The history tells the same story over and over. Public housing; more regulation; and robust rental protections are the only things that protect working families
liberal arts types who posture as economists solving the housing crisis are the high brow version of TikTok veneer techs who give people infections. the infection is facilitating the displacement of minorities and poor people and using bad economics to gaslight you into…
Every time I think the YIMBYs have reached their intellectual nadir they outdo themselves lol
no disrespect, but the fact you think architectural history has anything to do with resource distribution demonstrates your lack of understanding of the issue. stick to crown moldings :-)
A complete lack of empathy from @Keir_Starmer when it comes to the Gaza genocide. 70% of those killed are women and children. The ages most represented among the dead are 5 to 9-year-olds according to the UN. The UK government continues to arm Israel.

That's pretty scary. Imagine if an entire tower block of people burned alive in the centre of Beijing and the official response was to hold press conferences, declare that nobody was at fault for anything, and then pretend it didn't happen.
From the incredible blog Chinese DoomScroll: If you ever see a disaster in China where exactly 35 people die, it's because 36+ means the mayor gets fired. It's fascinating in a horrifying way how authoritarian systems always develop their own unique post-truth quirks.
We decanted this tower block, removed doors and windows and left it empty for 15 years. Now we are knocking it down because somehow water got in and created structural issues...
Southwark Council has started works to dismantle Maydew House, the 26-storey tower block on Bermondsey’s Abbeyfield Estate, which has been vacant for a number of years. Cllr @helendennis80 , Cabinet Member for New Homes, explains why...
Not seen this before. Really shocking from @dannydorling's 'Seven Children'. Average height of five-year-old boys, 1985–2020
Estate Agents' Remembrancetide comes sooner every year
They do not sign leases, as we that are left sign leases: Their landlords do not come into their flat with less than 24 hours notice, nor their boilers break down. At the paying of the deposit, and in its retention We will remember them
UPDATE: Sad news via @andybrammers, that the lovely 1923 Clough Williams-Ellis cottage in Oxford has now been demolished. It was commissioned by the Canadian author and early 20th century feminist Lily Dougall, and her same-sex partner Sophia Earp. C20 Society attempted to save…
Sad to report that @HistoricEngland has refused our request to spot list this rare 1920s ‘bohemian’ Clough Williams-Ellis house in Oxford - subject of our news story yesterday 👇🏽 c20society.org.uk/news/moves-to-…
Had an incredible, chilly and almost hallucinogenic trip far east down the estuarine Thames with @OpenCity_UK yesterday, led with inimitable vim by Benedict O'Looney, from Tudor naval yards to Ballymore's flatland — strongly recommend you book tickets for the next one
Solid left-wing reading of Dem failure from @gabrielwinant : dissentmagazine.org/online_article…
Nye Bevan was, of course, expelled from the Labour Party for campaigning against fascism in 1939 in a united front with antifascists.
I wish you very well Beth, not surprised but disappointed. When Jenny Lee left the Labour Party Nye Bevan described her as achieving purity by gaining impotence. At a time when we have an orgreave inquiry , new employment laws, miners pensions… strategic error of the left?

If you like the Parthenon, then you'll love ancient Greek architecture.
If you like the Parthenon, then you'll love ancient Greek architecture. 2,500 years ago, it produced some of the greatest wonders the world has ever seen. Here are the best ones.. 🧵 1. Temple of Concordia, Sicily, Italy (430 BC)
Raising the bus fare limit by 50% is an immensely shitty thing to do, by the way. It's like an economic smart bomb that is designed to only hit specifically the lowest-paid working poor. You absolute fucking pricks, Labour.
