The Warehouse, in Plain Sight That concrete box off the freeway wasn’t designed for storage so much as capture. It’s a disappearing machine. We need to see it clearly.

Screenshot of google search. It says, in the authoritative black text of google's answers, that '90% of the world's goods are moved by sea'. Underneath is a link to a blog, called '90% of the World's Goods are Moved By Sea. Says Who?'

a while back me and @miriammthsn.bsky.social wrote a piece about how 90% of the world's goods do not, in fact, move by sea. now its the source for google's claim that they do. like come on man read just two words on

Guardian article. Text says 'They say you have to buy blessings’: the London women who gave everything to a controversial church Regulator rules Universal Church of the Kingdom of God did not protect vulnerable donors, including woman who says she gave life savings' There's a photo of a dismayed looking Black woman in a smart coat standing in front of a sign that says 'UCKG', showing the entrance to the church.

My neighbour's son was wrapped up with this church for a bit in Peckham – apparently the pastor told congregation to go home and get their valuables, trade them in at CeX up the road, then put the cash on the altar as a sign of devotion
