The opposite of an effortpost but of all the things to hate about loving pomo architecture, this relentless refusal to just have a loving right angle or an unbroken line is the worst and constitutes a clear and present danger to the innocent drinking population.

(I didn't actually fall over but did have a hell of a wobble because none of the buildings moved right as I walked past)

idk, to be honest this is far from the worst architectural disasters that i've seen, even in london

that whole bit of hotels (?) weird shaped high-rises that look like they're made of plasitc, on the Thames kind of east-ish from Blackwall basin, for example. or most of Blackwall newbuilts, tbh (e: it's called New Providence Wharf and of course it was built by Ballymore)

though the tiny pathetic little trees in boxes kinda make me sad :(

Some of the little trees in boxes are anti-terror infrastructure. The boxes are designed to withstand vehicles driving into them, but people find them less objectionable if they think they're planters.

why not just line the streets with powerful, imposing oak trees or something. surely they're capable of stopping any vehicle driving into them? i'm sure nothing terror-related will happen in the 100 years or so it takes to grow one oak tree. plus, the roots going everywhere will only help when the time to demolish these architectural atrocities finally comes

speaking of, what happened to NIP? they seem to have just kind of fallen off the face of the earth (by which i mean my twitter feed :v:), the last thing i remember seeing them involved in being some weird twitter drama with another small party (iirc)

This is a great montage off that woke bane tweet:

i'm not sure what "woke bane" refers to, but now i can't stop imagining a half-Keir Starmer, half-Bane from Dark Knight Rises hybrid creature, an amalgamation of flesh, steel and wet eggs

My favourite number is 0x5f3759df because nobody remembers where it came from and the reference source code for it just reads "what the gently caress?" which sums up computer touching quite nicely.

that number is indeed an amazing bit of computer touching, and imo this video does a pretty good job explaining just how amazing it actually is (it's even more amazing than one might suspect):

the Brits are a hivemind, you see, the queen being the primary synapse node. all votes are made unanimously, all actions have full support of every single drone unit. thusly every single brit is personally responsible for this clusterfuck. it is known
