Budapest, Revisited. Can we build cool new stuff?
Pokorny is a breath of flowery fresh air, despite this piece in reality being an indictment of Orbán's blip-on-the-historical-radar regime's aesthetics of 'kitsch atop concrete'. Is it in fact possible to build works of great splendor anew, with strange a... (www.jaccusepaper.co.uk) posted 3h ago with no replies received politics fieldreports

Roland-Garros and aristocratic institutions
I watched the French Open men's final on Sunday. The combatants were Jannik Sinner, a 23 year old German-blooded Italian, and Carlos Alcaraz, a 22 year old Spanish Moor. Great match, but I miss the elegance and athletic beauty of Federer. As a man of tenni...

Good post but I'm gonna disagree with the framing. tbh the hyperspecialized "start training for a sport while you're still in the womb and make it the sole focus of your life" stuff never seemed aristocratic to me. I understand the aristocratic focus on sp... 3w ago received

Road Trip Week 2: Escape to San Francisco
