@danhancox Paging @doctorow to say his word has matured to the "being used completely incorrectly" stage of adoption.

My favourite of the web of deranged 'Yookay' myths is the idea that London is dirtier now than it was. It is literally the cleanest it has been in my entire lifetime! That's what gentrification is, and does. But then apparently the poster is Lebanese, so how would he know?

Isn’t that London is now an unliveable hellhole, it is still Basically Fine in many parts - is more that it is undergoing a process of ‘enshittification’ where quality of life on certain metrics gets slowly worse over time. So you can tolerate it but things are worse than before

@CordeliaJ Funnily enough, the only time I've ever ever been out in Notting Hill - for the stag do of a friend who went to Winchester - Hugh Grant was there in the bar too 😂 admittedly this was a decade ago though so your point stands

@danhancox True, though, that you don't see so much of Hugh and Julia on the streets these days

I’ve curated many exhibitions but never thought I would be in one..! Congrats to @KasiaTee & @danhancox for their @CursedObjectsUK exhibition about museum shops at the @peltzgallery. Some of the museum pens which I’ve been collecting since I was a child are featured. Go see it!

Echoing @Jodi7768 recommendation to buy @danhancox superb new book exploring how the popular perception of crowds being inherently violent is based on 19th-century pseudoscience and why elites are terrified of mass social movements, which I reviewed for @BooksinFive below! 1/5

3/ Drawing inspiration from Dan Hancox in Multitudes, we see that isolation isn’t a bug — it’s a deliberate design to control us. The forces that profit from our atomization have long underestimated the power of collective celebration. #ResistAtomization

Cannot recommend this new ⁦@VersoBooks⁩ book by ⁦@danhancox⁩ highly enough. There is something fascinating on every page. I have been wearily, bitterly jealous of Dan’s excellent journalism for years and this has only added to that
