Anti-homeless architecture is anti-everyone architecture. When you are out in public space, you also do not have a home. You just make do with what seating and rest areas are available to everyone else as well.
@bbhorne Here in #Amman they just put more banks at the stops of the new speed bus line - real banks, and yes, you could lay down on them. Anti-homeless architecture is no thing here, God bless them, maybe because not many people are homeless? At least I don't see many ...
There is a new documentary out called NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT JACOB APPELBAUM, funded by Canadian public money and airing this month on the public broadcaster's streaming service. The trailer makes it seem like a spy caper and an indulgence of Jake's delusions of persecution. Remember: Jacob is a serial rapist who only escaped prosecution because he picked victims from anarchist counter-cultural communities, where there is widespread distrust of the police. The documentary filmmakers attempted to talk to some of the victims of Jacob's sexual assaults, but judging by the title of the film, they did not make much progress with their inquiries. Instead, it seems they talked mainly to Jake's apologists, and to others who had little involvement in exposing Jake's crimes. I remember 2016 well: it's not that nobody wants to talk about Jacob Appelbaum, it's that we have talked enough about Jacob, he's a malignant narcissist, if it were up to him, we would do nothing but talk about Jacob Appelbaum. Anyway, for those who now must again talk about him, I am publishing a blog with everything people have said so far about Jacob Appelbaum, in order of importance. See https://jakegate.ghost.io/ and send it to anyone who tries to talk to you about Jacob Appelbaum but has never met Jacob Appelbaum. If you have a story about Jake that you want to tell, get in touch with me.

Ugh.
Aside from the hypocrisy of so-called human rights groups enabling a man who violated human rights, one of the things that frustrates me is why we are still talking about a man who is
mind numbingly BORING.
Dude is a creepy parrot who repeats the same things.
I would rather talk an actual parrot, the kind with feathers. A glance at the bottom of an aviary reveals better art, too.

@bbhorne but if you are sitting down, how can you be a productive consumer?
Time spent sitting is time spent not-consuming

Two things we've learned over time:
1. Don't concentrate poverty. We knew this all along but the racists in Congress said we could only build things like Cabrini-Green and Pruitt-Igoe.
2. If you're going to build hangars, start with runways. If people end up in public housing, make sure they can get to education and jobs and food.
There's lots more, but....
