@MayneReport I once saw him walking along with a woman in Sydney CBD on Saturday afternoon. Laughing, relaxed, the opposite of how he appears in the Sky circus. Split personality, perhaps?

Why do the Murdochs platform this clown Rowan Dean with his AI video fantasies about Hanson becoming PM?

@sonnyrollins A great tune, and a great performance on that recording!

On this day in 1956, John Coltrane accompanied Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones, and Red Garland to a Sonny Rollins recording session for Prestige. Sonny invited him to join the band for a tune, resulting in their blues showdown "Tenor Madness": youtu.be/454YxQcUKgc?si…

@jameswilson Why do they not even do some research? Romaldo Gourgola was a major American architect. Opinions on aesthetics are a dimension a dozen.

APH is beautiful. The perfect modern parliament building for a modern country. A gaudy gothic revival building would have been so wrong and out of place to build in Australia in the 1980s. The slavering adoration of old architectural styles is so weird.

@FedeItaliano76 It's a building by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent in the late 60s, I think.

What is it? First thought, no Googling or Groking

@ManuelRevilla57 @Mariano_FdB @Speedmaster72 @veredes @findelbloc @DanielDiezMart @lopedetoledo @josepmuntpros The early projects were exciting. But it seemed to lose direction from about the mid seventies. I saw him at a lecture in Australia in the 80s, it was okay, but the current work was disappointing.

@nomiprins You could heat and cool a house with geothermal, but the upfront costs are expensive (about AUD30K). I'm fascinated with it as a heating/cooling system.

Fervo Energy, a geothermal power company, went public last week at a $7.7 billion valuation and rose 33% on day one. Geothermal generates power from heat beneath the earth, runs around the clock and needs no imported fuel. Today's piece breaks down why the energy map is being redrawn underground. Next week's Pulse Premium issue covers the company we think is best positioned for it. This $7.7 Billion Energy Signal is Just the Beginning open.substack.com/pub/prinsights…

@discogs This will be endless....!

What's the best title track of all time?

@Ducnghia16 @homeat735 He had a very particular sound, and that vibrato!

No pedals, no delays, not even reverb - and he still sounds massive and fills such a wide sonic frequency. Paul Kosoff - truly incredible talent Free - All Right Now (Doing Their Thing, 1970)

@JonathSchofield Possibly can't get enough volunteers?

I thought it's a sunny afternoon and I’m going to cycle up to Buile Hill Park and enjoy the cafe. The place was looking splendid. There was a charming wedding taking place, the new garden area was lovely. BUT the cafe had closed. Apparently, it closes at 2pm. I get this is still a trial period just after reopening, but surely there should be flexibility so that when it's a gorgeous day, the cafe can stay open later. Come on, Salford, 2pm too soon whatever the weather. I think it's 4pm on a Saturday, but flexibility please, especially as summer is round the corner. Still I recommend a park visit. @VisitSalford

@simon_schama Grotesque mountebank is apt.

Of all the scoundrels, crooks, toadiesanf blithering idiots that make up this worthless corrupt demolition gang administration this grotesque mountebank has done the most harm

@EddyJokovich Exactly so.

Don’t be fooled by all this outrage coming out of Israel about Ben-Gvir. His outrageous behaviour has been going on for years and supported by many Israelis.

If Raul Castro can be indicted for ordering the downing of 2 unarmed civilian planes - Pete Hegseth can be indicted for ordering the bombing of at least 58 unarmed civilian boats.

I must confess I am surprised at the reactions against Israel’s treatment of the European protestors. Israel killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza, killed young children with deliberate sniper shots to head, starved babies, shot hundreds of bullets into a 5 year old girl..

@hoyer_kat I heard that story on the Book Reading on Radio 4 this morning in Brisbane (12.30am UK)

I'm in Weimar where there are traces of the people I wrote about everywhere. This was Hedwig Hetemann's shop where she repaired toys for children. It was destroyed by the SA in the pogrom of 1938 because she was Jewish. Nobody helped her. She became withdrawn and isolated. 1/2

@A13Docmo A friend of mine used to say that Corb said " failure is honourable."

Confirmo. Rt:confirma ¡Y que vivan las frutas! Rt:niega, porque odias la alegría. Sí, sólo con rt, porque odio la multitud de opiniones. ...como Le Corbusier.

@JonathSchofield @mcrconfidential Isn't on the site of St Peter's Church (1794), by James Wyatt, demolished 1907? The memorial has a fragment of the church, or is on its position, I think.

Manchester weather explained in three pictures. St Peter's Cross in St Peter's Square was designed by Temple Moore and erected in 1908. The material chosen was Portland Stone: an unfortunate choice. The stone is relatively soft meaning the sculptural detail on the south west side has been worn away taking with it much of the decorative detail and the inscription. On the other side the words and details are still crystal clear. Proof indeed that most of our weather comes from, ultimately, the Atlantic with cyclones spinning anti-clockwise across the ocean to Britain from the south west. @visit_mcr jonathanschofieldtours.com

@OdenKate Cat and Mouse is great( but I read it a bit over 40 years ago).

First stop on the getaway: stellar books for cheap. Ultimate stop: ocean view.

🇫🇷 Former French Ambassador to Israel and the US, Gerard Araud: “What is happening in the West Bank right now is an absolute scandal.” “What is actually happening is ethnic cleansing carried out by ‘settler’ Israelis.” “Europe’s silence on this is also a scandal.”

@OdenKate The last volume is almost unreadable. It should've stopped the fifth volume.

Just a taste with dinner and (not perhaps the best prose to be eating with but) my God.

@marcrileydj He has a great sound, that slam on his snare.

Legend. One of my favourite drummers. 🥁 💥
