What I love about Mastodon is that unlike Twitter, people aren’t fighting as much on here. Algorithms don’t promote hot takes. Discourse is more chill, but also somehow more radical at the same time. 😊

Gab has two known domains at the moment:

My wife asked me why I was speaking so softly at home.
I told her I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening!
She laughed. I laughed.
Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.

The culture that was the bay area in the 1960-70ies had very specific kind of businesses. I.e. the "Logo Removal Service (a service that replaces logos on T-shirts, hats and bags with colourful fabric stains and contrasting embroidery motifs)
Milano’s Central station was built in 1931 and you can really tell. I call it “fash nouveau.” The First Order aesthetics of the Frecciarossa kind of match tbh.

Reading @jilldianepope@twitter.com’s fascinating ethnography of the Savamala 2014-16. 👨🏼💻🏙Check it out before coming to Waterfront tonight! 🎥 https://www.academia.edu/34794736/Not_Waving_But_Drowning_Requiem_for_the_Death_and_Life_of_a_Belgrade_Neighbourhood
What kind of historical sensibilities, memories, spaces can exist in cities shaped by finance capital? One of the questions this film brings up. Trailer below to give you an idea how we do that. https://vimeo.com/318706476 2/2
Passing by Frankfurt reminds me of Waterfront line: “... the valuation of a building’s historicity in today’s Belgrade begins with its future exchange value. A building is historically valuable only in its potential to invite the ahistoric glass and steel of finance capital.” 1/2
Excited to be screening my film with @KursOrg@twitter.com “Waterfront: A post-Ottoman post-socialist story” at @unil@twitter.com later today! Looking forward to convo with @jilldianepope@twitter.com, Martin Müller, audience. @EmpiresOfMemory@twitter.com @mpimmg@twitter.com #Belgrade

A group of pissed off, heavily armed history professors travel the world and wreak havoc on historically inaccurate monuments and public attractions in their spare time.
