@scootsnladders @Flames_Creative These videos are fucking brilliant. You had me at Texas Tech.

When Liberty used the star of Duck Dynasty to narrate a “Duck Hunt” trailer, we decided to recreate the Duck Dynasty intro to open the cinematic recap. All in good fun, congrats to @Flames_Creative on a great season!
Here’s the shot by shot comparison

@tmccormick I actually just bought this book! Thanks for the rec. (I'm mostly off this platform now, FYI.)

@brianlibby @archpaper Check out the new affordable housing at Albertina Kerr. Not only is the architecture thoughtfully composed, the building also features enhanced accessibility to house disabled residents.
English
@holz_bau I guess you're right, yet perhaps it's also a matter of perspective. Most such developments would retain at least this much parking, but would not have so much or such nicely-done open space. Or am I wrong about that?
English
@SpirNut Yes! A very good idea. I may have to try such a calendar someday.
English
@brianlibby I have always thought calendars should have snow scenes in summer months and desert scenes in winter months.

@tmccormick @orartswatch It's open Saturdays from 12:30-5:00pm. I think the article mentions Saturdays but not the hours (which we'll add).
English
@tmccormick @orartswatch Sorry — I meant to include the hours. I'll have that added to the story. Good idea about handicapped access as well.

Twitter is now X? I might finally be outta here. I think they forgot the 'e' in front of the X.

@jmfowl any thoughts on these #ModPod units app.box.com/s/mtfehzoabwv5… from @LITBuild, or the #TemporaryAlternativeShelterSites program portland.gov/wheeler/shelte…? I try to keep an ear out but don't seem to hear much discussion from PDX architecture/design community about. #TASSpdx

This cube could mark the epicenter of my college years in NYC. My first dorm was two blocks northwest of it, my second dorm three blocks northeast, and most all of my classes three or four blocks southwest. archpaper.com/2023/07/tony-r…

Excited to learn my photo of the sculpture "East Wind" by Toma Villa (hanging in the PAE Living Building lobby) is going to be published in an upcoming book about Pacific Northwest indigenous sculptors.

I love this collage sent to me as a gift by Seattle artist Nell Nordlie. The pieces are from old sheet music, maps, ration stamps, graph paper, receipts, packaging, transit tickets, blueprints, price tags, canceled checks, promotional materials, etc.

Doing an art trade with a friend, and she surprised me by choosing my 2009 photo of the Washington High School gym demolition.

Still savoring this match a day later.
Alcaraz isn't just an insanely great 20-year-old. He didn't just slay the player with the most grand-slam titles and win Wimbledon in only his fourth grass-court tournament. He's restored the beautiful game missing since Federer retired.

From @TheAthletic: In more than a decade, 45 players failed to beat Novak Djokovic on Centre Court. But Carlos Alcaraz is different. Djokovic said it best: "I haven’t played a player like him ever, to be honest." nyti.ms/3rzfAcw

Luckily the circa-1924 school itself was not demolished. Revolution Hall is there now, in the former school auditorium. But I do remember halfway through the demo seeing the gym without a roof.
English
@CDEccleshare Thanks for supplying The Athletic with some tennis coverage. Hoping for more.

I love this story and the photos that go with it. Inaccurate circa-1930s dinosaur sculptures, on the site of a landmark that itself burned down 87 years ago.

“They weren’t built to last that long.” Victorian-era statues of extinct animals are still at London’s Crystal Palace Park, some 170 years later. They’re rusting and no longer considered scientifically accurate. But they delight visitors all the same. nyti.ms/3XP0xHG
