Currently listening to @emmabclarke.bsky.social @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social on sounds. Opening piece Aspice Domine by Marian Consort is sublime. Do yourself a favor, stop the doom scrolling, and check it out.

@emmabclarke.bsky.social Listening to the show now in U.S. Totally with you on the Mitsuko piano concerto. Just listened for the third time. Mesmerizing. I'm drinking tea btw.

Thanks to Alex Strada for a wonderful tour of her #CollectiveMobilities exhibit at Pratt. This is a collaborative exhibition that centers on redistribution and mutual aid to support Pratt's neighbors experiencing homelessness. www.pratt.edu/events/colle...

LOVED the Arowah piece. Any idea where I can get hold of it?

A point that bears repeating:

The anti-smoking movement was fueled by state/local activists who overwhelmed Big Tobacco's lobbying might.

The fight against car bloat needs to be grassroots as well. Even when Dems have power, the car industry's lobbyists have Washington in a stranglehold.

Brooklyn politicians call for patch job on BQE, say Mayor Adams can't do permanent fix A group of elected officials wrote in a letter that they've given up hope that Mayor Eric Adams will make good on his plan to rebuild a crumbling section of the highway.

I maintain that the only plan the city has for the crumbling BQE is to hope there aren't many people on it when it collapses.

Tuned in to watch the second half of United v Arsenal and was greeted with this message and image. Think the algorithms at Peacock might perhaps need a little tweaking.

New York subway design really does leave a lot to be desired.

β€˜They look like homes for rich people’: why Britain should look to Europe for its council housing revolution On the continent, stylish, sustainable, community-minded social housing is a given, and nowhere more so than in Spain

'there’s a level of imagination and determination in some of the best European projects, combined with a breadth of vision that includes the social as well as the functional aspects of housing, that our risk-averse public agencies have yet to match'

Must confess. I often think that I could do a better job managing Manchester United than the infinitely more qualified people who have failed at the job. Key difference I guess is that I'm the only one experiencing the delusions. The board and fans aren't going to indulge my fantasy.

Agree with this 1000%. Interesting that in my line of work (academia) people get really really annoyed if something is published that they've contributed to and they're not cited by name.

I teach them in America. I'm terrified for anyone who tries to mess with them.
