This is the famous Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona. It was first built for the 1929 International Expo, but was demolished in 1930. This permanent (but controversial) replica was built in the early 1980s. It has been the inspiration of many later modernist buildings.
I took this picture shortly before I switched to digital - sometimes I miss the grainy scuzziness of uprated film.

The Kinks are having their tweets censored for being too kinky (allegedly).

This British band have been operating since 1963, with lots of chart success.

People know the Kinks. They're a rock band, not an S&M dungeon.

Unless Elon Musk knows a secret that I don't 🧐

Nevertheless, it's absolutely true that Twitter's attempt to automate all community safety is a train wreck.

I saw this little guy yesterday and I can't stop thinking about him. So round. So pink. #borbs #borb

"Warren Street smells of 'sooty milk' while Lambeth North conjures 'extreme mouse,' according to our new chart of tube station aromas."

In honour of the 160th b'day of the great #London Underground, here's a Pong Map of the Tube.

Ol' Harry Beck would not approve...
