Under-celebrated in the wider world is the name of Joan Vila-Grau, the designer of the stunningly beautiful stained glass windows of the Sagrada Familia. Their contribution to the divine experience & physical affects of the internal spaces cannot be overstated. Magical. #JoanVilaGrau #SagradaFamilia
Having installed our #GaudiPinnacles this week at StCatherinesPSDidsbury it’s great to see the actual ones up close at #SagradaFamilia #Barcelona @sagradafamilia.bsky.social @minimastersart
“By the way, we had that water brought in specially for you folks. Came from a well…” by a data centre.

Ireland has the highest concentration of water and power ravenous, pollution-spewing, data centres per head of population in ALL Europe. We need to unite and fight this.
Brad Johnson@climatebrad.hillheat.com · last wk.My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.
The quality of social housing being built in Paris takes some beating. Yes… this is new social housing! 107 apartments with solid stone facades, designed by AAVP Architecture. Photos by Benoît Santiard Would you just look at that beautiful balustrade!
“Frontman Grian Chatten has said he wanted to write about the context collapse of social media and the willing degradation of what it means to be human” #FontainesDC #DopamineChamber
This week in 1876 Impressionist painter Adolphe Valette was born. His ‘Manchester-scapes’ captured the light, water and smoke of the industrial city. As a teacher at Manchester Municipal School of Art, he inspired his pupil LS Lowry to see ‘the beauty of the Manchester streets’.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “If you believe, as I do, that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the US that Trump does not respect or appreciate the Constitution or the rule of law.. then we cannot allow this US Senate to remain under Republican control”
Today is World Migratory Bird Day. Please say hello to the Pfeilstorch (‘arrow stork’). In 1822 this bird was shot in the German village of Klütz. It already had a 30-inch arrow in its neck. The arrow was made of African wood, and this bird played a pivotal role in our understanding of migration.
This isn't my giraffe, in fact it isn't anybody's. It's what's currently popular on Instagram, a 'making project', done by AI. A knife (upside down) cuts right through the drawing, ears get stuck over the eyes . . . then attached to its arse, finally, it's 10 times the size. 🙄 #edusky

Drax datacentre could create nearly twice the yearly emissions of all Gatwick flights

Well, that's a hell of a thing to leave next to a statue of Joan of Arc.😏
