@CharterhouseSq @drinkwaterpaul @cityoflondon @CSkidmoreUK @wblau @NLloydOwen’s motion for the declaration of a climate was presented at the Court of Common Council on 08/10/20 - these are the minutes of the main debate. Opposed were @citypolicychair @JMDT999 @citylordmayor @MaryDurcan1 @GowmanAJ @ShravanJoshi @City_McGuinness @Keithbottomley

⚡️🧨It's official from CoL: "You might have heard the words "climate emergency".. That is not the position of the City of London".
Happy 40th Amstrad CPC. Admittedly more middle class and less punk rock than a Speccy but by light years the best 8-bit all-rounder. Mine was bought with proceeds from a car boot sale and is the reason I do what I do now.
City Hardware was a @goldenlaneEC1 institution - surprised it has gone into liquidation at a time when I know residents are increasingly taking repairs into their own hands due to combined @COLHousing and @WatesGroup negligence

I've realised that Sonic Youth is the music to which I most enjoy doing the ironing. I don't know why.
As ever @cityoflondon defies logic. Why release thousands of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere during a climate crisis and replace valued cultural buildings with more office space when its office vacancy rates are falling and it wants to attract more tourists?!

This album somehow passed me by a year ago but now on repeat - what a sumptuous listen
Fascinating seeing the very first skateboards at @DesignMuseum. But good grief - that £18 entrance fee for a small, one room exhibition that takes less than an hour to peruse

@carl_thompson70 Good lord just let this go, man. That "arch" (not an arch) was a pastiche, the station was pitifully small for its purpose, and the 1960s rebuild is a design classic with real functionality. Yes, it can be improved, but Doric columns aren't the answer.

For me, nothing says hauntology quite like the sci-fi optimism of the Forton services, just outside Lancashire. As a kid this was a landmark that meant we were nearly home, its near-Thunderbirds vibe strangely comforting.
ON THIS DAY 40 years ago! On 11 Apr 1984 I launched the Amstrad CPC464 - the first affordable all-in-one home computer. On other home computers you had to hook up a TV and a cassette player. Not with ours - the CPC464 had it all. It was the start of the era of Amstrad computers.

And this is why, famously, no one wants to live in the brutalist Barbican estate…
I'll wager a million dollars 95 out of 100 random people on the street would prefer the most generic possible contemporary apartment tower (left) to whatever brutalist nonsense architecture nerds idolize (right).
