It's hilarious to me that London could've had a suspended monorail (like Wuppertal in Germany). The article features a delightful list of urban megaprojects around the world that weren't built in the end. Source: buff.ly/MPm8CH5
This is good news, so I won't make a cheap jibe about people only travelling the full 8 hours because you have to spend three hours stuck at Hamm (Westf).
*pats pockets absentmindedly* Now where did I put that void? The urge to scream is upon me.
One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”
Don't make me tap the sign...

I will never forget the experience of seeing LEAVING NEVERLAND at its Sundance premiere. For @avclub.com I wrote about a devastating, definitive documentary about surviving sexual abuse that cannot be erased.
Both solar and wind power now produce more of the world's electricity than nuclear.

My little suggestion today is that if you have to read a T.S. Eliot poem you put, “Girl,” in front of the first line & read the rest in the voice of a drag queen reading someone to filth.
Amazing that Americans have no way of experiencing the sheer political thrill of “the prime minister is probably going to have to resign and just hasn’t realised it yet”
I do think this is notable if only because the EU should absolutely think about a common stack instead of paying companies a multibillion dollar contract for sharepoint
