Zaera-Polo claimed a former colleague’s management style evinced an “evil will to power and outright corruption,” implied that another colleague was hired mainly because she is Black—then sued both of them! He’s representing himself! And tweeting about it! Lots to unpack here

From fast food chain makeovers to oversized Doritos and hot dog huts to a designer dog house, here are the architecture stories that made us smile (and laugh) in 2022. ow.ly/Gux150MetBM

With just one casino license up for grabs, will Hudson Yards' bid win? @gridwachs reports bit.ly/3VALsaV
