I spend a lot of time, perhaps too much, thinking about the lost architecture of Britain.
Crystal Palace was the most tremendous loss of the modern era, yet it's rare to see any pictures of it. When built in 1851, it was the largest building in the world and three times the size of St Paul's Cathedral.
What's more, that immense ironwork and 293,000 glass panels went up in just 190 days for the World's Fair. Almost 1 million square feet of glass. An extraordinary feat.
It was razed in a fire in the 1930s and never rebuilt.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

As thick as pig shit. Low IQ TikTok 30 second script and she still needs it written down. Quality of politicians is at an all time low.

London Central Mosque is also an iconic venue. When’s the rave?
Fabric. St Paul’s Cathedral. Name a more iconic duo.
Bringing together these two institutions will create a one-of-a-kind experience, pairing world-class music with one of our most special landmarks.

This week Israel vowed to “retaliate” against Britain over sanctions. The US and Argentina immediately piled on over the Falklands. Pure coincidence I’m sure. Any fake “patriots” cheering these Zionist countries’ attacks on your own nation are traitors.
FALKLANDS ARE BRITISH 🇬🇧
