Been thinking about how to depart Twitter, and celebrating the passing of another bit of dangerous right wing populist bullshit seems like as good an opportunity as any. Good riddance.

I look forward to integrating this discreetly into any residential environment.
The custom-made recessed access floor hatch is the architect's friend. It can be integrated discreetly into any industrial, residential or commercial environment [AD] @surespan #rjproducts #FloorHatches #AccessSolutions #AccessFloors # ow.ly/N21750TPZ89

Wow Costa's Barbers is so amazing! Such a great civic presence and amazing story by the architects and developer who made it happen. Still open for dop-in visits to 3pm today 🌞✨
Replying to @merlinfulcher
And from 10-3pm you can visit Costa's Barbers. A new home for the architects Brisco Loran on Battersea High St. Both locations are available for drop-ins with no booking required 🌞✨ programme.openhouse.org.uk/l…

Bit of you @russellcurtis
Dallas-Ft. Worth is becoming the golf mecca. This 100k square foot resort is coming to Frisco next year: - 19 key hotel with private hitting bays on each balcony - 25k sqft putting green - Not far from Omni PGA resort & PGA of America HQ - 100 foot video screen - Custom TaylorMade club fitting on site - 12,000 square foot private club and executive suites - Located directly on the tollway This thing is going to print cash. Very bullish on DFFW (Dallas Frisco Ft. Worth).

Leaving Valencia soon and sad to be leaving behind Plaça de Manual Granero. Incredible trees giving much-needed shade, variety of playgrounds, outdoor gym, loads and loads of seating and just the most welcoming positive vibes. Truly a common room for the neighbourhood.

A favourite loose armchair awaits its regular bottom. Somebody has added their own sit-up bench to the gym. Murals and graffiti disregard matters of definition. Kid’s parties take place below the trees. Papoosed dads gossip on benches. Old-timers backgammon the afternoon away.

And Olí Bar, oh Olí Bar - just the ultimate neighbourhood bar. If only everybody could live near somewhere like Olí Bar. g.co/kgs/sCQV3rs
