Came across this stunning photograph of Lund's 1938 public baths in goodwill bargain book from 1950. Quite the milestone in the local spatial politics of public luxury that was rolled out as social democratic welfare planing in the postwar era. The architects were Hans Westman with Tor Andersson.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

A right-wing slogan in the Swedish election is that the left wants to "force mix" the forms of tenure (=introduce migrant renters to suburbia). This 1976 interview with future conservative housing minister calling for MORE mixing of tenure within housing areas, shows how hard they have moved right.

I am sorry that G.M. Tamás is not here to see the deserved fall of Orbán. I hope the incoming government chokes off the vast funding network propping up various petty Lord Haw-Haws across Europe. Exemplary prosecutions for corruption would be salutary well beyond Hungary's borders.
