the first paper we read in planning school was Rittel & Webber’s “Dilemmas in a general theory of planning” which is against the cybernetic management of cities. the program was close to a 100% cybernetic approach otherwise. this has been haunting me lately.

the Rittel and Webber paper isn’t even something i find precious. it’s just that it expects the reader to have an understanding of cybernetics. it feels like pulling this paper out day one was a way to prevent any of us from forming a critique against cybernetic planning

but that’s probably not the case. I don’t think most planners and planning academics have the critical foundation to see these things as ideological. it is a practitioner’s field.

making a short video about Escape From New York and decided that my very first sewing machine project would be recreating Snake’s shirt. it’s so weird. the zippers open at the top, but not the bottom. i had to see it in action.

premiere has taken one of its most fundamental tools (align) and made it so that the adobe AI gets to decide if you need it or not. today it has decided that I am not allowed to align.

The critics savaging Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Digger” are right, and so is the public who stayed home — missing a Tom Cruise movie, no less. Watch “Dr. Strangelove” instead. jacobin.com/2026/10/digger-i…

No, Digger Is Not a Misunderstood Masterpiece

The critics savaging Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Digger are right, and so is the public who stayed home — missing a Tom Cruise movie, no less. Watch Dr. Strangelove instead.

Some- not all- the reviews resemble crimes of passion- or a crucifixion… the murder with an extra dozen blows- the extra zeal in driving the pointed nail. And those pieces can then, paradoxically be defined by the very adjectives they wield against the film: “arrogant, bombastic, excessive…”

sadistic glee in so many articles about "Digger" taking this tone as if, written by persons who've never made a movie, will never make a movie, or probably even know anyone who has made a movie, or in fact created anything original & risky, are taking their revenge on those who make themselves vulnerable by doing so.

Now that Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson have abandoned the so-called "Abundance" movement (Thompson hasn't mentioned it on X since April 2026, Klein since November 2025) can we all agree that it was a centrist grift/op and relegate it to the dustbin of history where it belongs?
