in rio and sao paulo protesters were hemmed into kettles by riot police. in brasilia they managed to get onto the roof of the senate building, where oscar niemeyer's curves and lights turned their protest into an act of grand revolutionary shadow-theatre. ~~*i ToLd YaLl MoDeRnIsM wAs InHeReNtLy LiBeRaToRy*~~

walk with me: most of the major cities will be replaced by vast pleasure domes used exclusively by the excelcyites - who are neo upper class; while the displaced hordes of lower-class depth grovellers will live underground in tiered cities, endlessly toiling away for nuggets of neo plasmen

I picked up those images from the D&D pictures thread while it was trapped in one of those cycles where everyone starts posting their community college's library, deriding anything remotely interesting and defending the boring products of disinterested committees, designed to mollify the conservative tastes of the octogenarian donor whose name hangs above the door.

my uni library sucks: one of these shitty postmodernist things where they tout how 'green' and 'clean' it is and it win awards but they give no thought to how people actually use it? it's boiling inside and there are never enough powerpoints.
