I mean it wasn't exactly posh but it wasn't like this when I was a kid, very sad to see. More power to the Future Yard initiative.

Extremely funny to go "I can't believe the Poles didn't insitute reforms that would have upset Moscow" with a header image of What Happens When You Upset Moscow

why dont you guys just get a room?

Politics is depressing, imagine expending all this energy dreaming up ways to screw the next guy?

the Green's dropped their oposition to Nuclear Power, a few years ago that would be big news

Copenhagen nerds - I'm gonna be in your city next year - does anyone want to hear me give a paper? I got a little number using Marina Vishmidt's notion of 'infrastructure' alongside Samuel Delany's writing and his infrastructures of waste and desire. interested?

@rhymerrigby.bsky.social bring it to SE4 you cowards!

@murkydepths.bsky.social sent you a gift link in your DMs in case you don’t have an FT sub

This is what left the visible physical world at about 3pm yesterday. The two concrete spiral staircases were my favourite bit. Going to do a run of C-Type prints of this if anyone is interested. Not my best in terms of quality, but it’s does that thing it needs to do.

The reason it’s not up to my usual standard are several. It was midnight, I was trespassing, I had been in the pub for ‘a while’ beforehand. I was out of puff because I am portly and I had to climb over barriers. Shortly afterwards security told me to go away, which was funny.

FUCKING LOL. TED CRUZ GIVING OUT THE F1 TROPHY IN FUCKING TEXAS AND GETTING BOOED!

He will never not remind me of a preternaturally tall Michael Gove.

good

Well, perhaps not that easy - someone forgot to tell the bus drivers…

And that’s (most of) Oxford Street closed to traffic - for good.

This is good trash TV

At least he hasn’t sunk a load into a niche 4WD truck that will only appeal to a tiny minority….oh

“We need a friendly animal to tell people their trains are cancelled” “How about a dolphin, those guys are real fucking friendly” “Do it”

I don’t trust air I can’t see

UK offering Freedom of Movement would be the game changer for conversations with the EU, one of the trio of people, pounds and positivity I identified earlier this year as crucial to any significant move to removing barriers.

Found at auction, it turns out you can actually buy an abstract noun. For "irony" may I suggest the Hermès Sac à Malice bicentenary french revolution edition?

probably reads like "yea olde Epstein diaries"

Wondering how much people would hate me for a column about the terrible woes of Gen X homeowners who aspire to Boomer levels of housing but can't quite afford the handymen. Probably quite a lot?

@rhymerrigby.bsky.social the biggest crime for the lewi dev cancelation is that you are denied the opportunity for some grainy B&W pics of Shoezone getting chomped by the big chomping machine

A few more from the demolition of Anglia Square from the day before yesterday. Two wings left now. It’s a very strange and quite a sad sight for anyone who lives in this area and even vaguely understands the community.

This is from April but probably still relevant - www.artsprofessional.co.uk/news/goldsmi...

tbh this sounds more like a Goldsmiths problem than a Green Lewi problem, unlike the shopping center development

the second timein a week that the council and a 3rd party have had their plans scuppered because of a swerve buy one of them

@bobfrombrockley.bsky.social you'll have to update that board

oh the humanity!

@greenwichwire.bsky.social @murkydepths.bsky.social

I've written to the Mayor of Lewisham after Landsec deprioritised the Lewisham Shopping Centre redevelopment. The scheme wasn't perfect, but losing a once-in-a-generation £1.5bn investment in our town centre raises serious questions. We need to know what happens now.

At Spiked’s “Battle of Ideas” last week, the official bookstore was Oldspeak, a literally fascist outlet. @josiahmortimer.bsky.social reports for @bylinetimes.bsky.social (and look at thread below for what this means for the “fight” against antisemitism) bylinetimes.com/2026/10/14/f...
