@verbeeld agree - i love pianos at train stations - They massively changed the atmosphere for the better. The only thing I ever wonder is how people decide when to take turns!

PS Antwerp Station is fabulous!

- State lawmakers clear way for controversial Berkeley housing project

> “UC will ask the Supreme Court to consider the new statute when it issues its ruling,” the spokesperson wrote. “The campus will resume construction of the People’s Park project when the lawsuit is resolved and hopes that the new law will substantially hasten the resolution of the lawsuit.”

More than 150 car models too big for regular parking spaces
The ‘autobesity’ epidemic eats up public spaces

"More than 150 car models are now too big to fit in average car parking spaces. While the size of the standard parking bay has remained static for decades, cars have been growing longer and wider in a phenomenon known as “autobesity”."

Extremes of altright + police + extremes of racist history of housing segregation ... leave more Black folks burning up.

For context, the state of Mitch McConnell is overwhelmingly poor + working class + conservative + white white white but the biggest city is diverse, educated, more centrist Democrat

"When cities like Louisville [Kentucky] devalue public pools, they harm marginalized groups, expert says"

re: twitter.com/cyclesixmile/statu

The microplastic and pollution from the tires will kill communities and ecosystems, like with every other car.

There is no escaping the illogic of 2,000+ pound vehicles designed to carry 200 pounds of people. (The vehicle seen below will weigh 5000 lbs)

My mind is still halfway in Łódź. Besides the interesting transformation of former industrial buildings, I was particularly captivated by the 82 large-scale murals, "Łódzkie Murale", which characterize the cityscape.

P.S.: I find it really difficult to describe art. If anyone would like a more detailed description of the images, please let me know and I'll add it in the comments.

Salvaging what is good
This post is more practical than nostalgic. Yes, sometimes I like to look back and think about how 'things were better' with our various online anthro communities, but that's not the goal here. It's clear that the online communities our discipline had are not what they once were, whether on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

My photo of the Firefighters Tribute sculpture, Stanley, Victoria, Australia. Created after Black Saturday fires in 2009.

More about it here monumentaustralia.org.au/theme

It's very beautiful, a burned gum leaf, but sad.
