First here’s Sequel, which is one of those apps for tracking the stuff you watch and read and listen to, and the stuff you want to watch and read and listen to. I do a lot of that, and this app looks slick, but I probably won’t switch to it because it’s iOS only. For you, maybe that’s perfect.

I always wondered at how many tunnels snake their way through the soil in central London. I always thought: there’s so many that the earth must be practically a sponge. This write up of a single development near Victoria train station proves me right. The foundations of the tower are carefully around a dozen sewers, deep cut and shallow light rail tunnels, underground station concourses, you name it.

I’ve always been interested in how different people use physical metaphors in language. Is the past behind you because you’re walking away from it? Or is it front of you, where you can see it, as opposed to the unknowable future? Where does blue stop and green begin? Somebody asked, what shape is the year?

Now, for the descent into hell. First, this game gives you a taste of what it’s like to run Trust & Safety for a social network. It’s really well written, and makes references to real incidents and issues that social networks have contributed to: genocides, mass shootings. Finally: Israel & Gaza. There are war crimes being committed every day. n+1 magazine makes the apt comparison to 9/11: a terrible attack on civilians that begat an even more terrible war of extermination.
