Free idea: An opt-in filter for Spotify that removes people accused of sexual harassment/rape, etc. I'd like a little more choice over where my money goes. #ethics #everydayfeminism

So 47,000 people shared the tweet mapping the Beirut blast radius to London & NY - but the scale on that is wrong & it wouldn't actually have flattened everything out to Gatwick. As ever the good story goes halfway round the world while Wilbur here w/ the facts gets 30 RTs.
It looks like the original picture shows 15km radius, the google maps are made with 15mi radius. 10x off is a stretch. This is what 15km looks like in all three locations

Please go read this FIRE thread on what co-creation actually means (And why you’re probably not really doing it). This should make a lot of people in the design industry uncomfortable.
Replying to @PantheaLee

This man started an account where he tweets exactly what the president tweets. He just got suspended.
Experiment Update - Well it finally happened. Took longer than expected. 12 hour suspension and had to delete the offending tweet. Here’s the screenshots @suspendthepres. Will post to the account when suspension is lifted.

I’ve landed in Hong Kong after flying from Paris CDG, via London Heathrow. I now have to wait ~8 hours before I get my #COVID19 test results and thus have ample time to tweet about my experience.

U.S. Space Force has unveiled its first recruiting ad this month. What if we tried to imagine a similarly grand effort to address the security and sustainability of life here on this planet? <thread> #USEarthForce #climatedisruption #designfiction 1/9

Architecture is most often about reducing and suppressing the uncertainty and indeterminacy inherent in materials, in space, and in the perception of those things. Other work seeks to multiply those uncertainties, and to use them as a medium to work with.
