Abandoned British equipment on the beach at Dunkirk. Although 340,000 troops were evacuated from Dunkirk, the British Army left behind: 120,000 vehicles, 600 tanks, 1000 field guns, 500 anti-aircraft guns, 850 anti-tank guns, 8000 Bren guns, 90,000 rifles and half a million tons of stores and ammunition. Details from “A Global Chronology of Conflict: From the Ancient World to the Modern Middle East” by Spencer C. Tucker, page 1907
The Constructivists, amid unfinished starters of adventures recklessly spoke of replacing art with life and wanted to make the object of production the object of art.
Tatlin built a stove in his room to keep from freezing, sewed a specially tailored coat to keep from shivering in the wind, and cut himself a comfortable work suit. Playing with the industrial production of an object was not the last motivation of the design solutions of the Moscow Constructivists.
She was too short to see over the fence.
There was no ice cream in the freezer, nor did they have money to go to the store.
“When strong, avoid them. If of high morale, depress them. Seem humble to fill them with conceit. If at ease, exhaust them. If united, separate them. Attack their weaknesses. Emerge to their surprise.”

The plot tells of an alien conspiracy that is taking over the British government, turning ordinary people into zombies, stopping at nothing to build their own breeding tank in a mysterious chemical factory.
There’s a lot to marvel at:
It became entirely possible to tell a complex idea in real time, with only a few minutes. Nothing goes badly wrong that there are special effects.

In a cowbell I lie down on the concrete
There’s no couch when the owls start howlin’.

After summer form balls on the lines.
So fuck it, I shall I live now
Under the tassel that hangs on the fossil.
Thessaloniki
In Thessaloniki, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman monuments coexist that bear witness to the city history and its significance. Several of the underground secrets of Thessaloniki have been discovered and emerged, while restoration work is under process. Although the final result is impressive with underground monuments such as the Catacombs of St. John and the underground museum of the Agora, they do not comprise highlights for the city and access is still very limited or not permitted even to the locals by the Archaeological
Department of the Thessaloniki underground Metro project.

This city could be envisaged in the form of an arbitrary assemblage of castles, grottos, lakes, etc. It would be the baroque stage of urbanism considered as a means of knowledge. But this theoretical phase is already outdated. We know that a modern building could be constructed which would have no resemblance to a medieval castle but which could nevertheless preserve and enhance a “Castle” type of poetic power (by the conservation of a strict minimum of lines, the transposition of certain others, the positioning of openings, the topographical location, etc.).

“Platforms don’t look like how they work and don’t work like how they look.”
― Benjamin H. Bratton, The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty
I’ the commonwealth I would by contraries
Execute all things; for no kind of traffic
Would I admit; no name of magistrate;
Letters should not be known; riches, poverty,
And use of service, none; contract, succession,
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none;
No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil;
No occupation; all men idle, all;
And women too, but innocent and pure.
“Tomorrow, may I have your yesterday?”

Johnny: There’s nothin’ like a good smoke and a cuppa’ coffee. You know, some men got the craving for gold and silver. Others need lotsa’ land, with herds of cattle. And then there’s those that got the weakness for whiskey, and for women. When you boil it all down, what does a man really need? Just a smoke and a cup of coffee.

Altered, by selective breeding, atomic surgery, methods we can’t guess, and with new faculties instilled in them, high intelligence, perhaps something else.
Howell:
In effect, a colonization.
Professor Bernard Quatermass:
It would be a way of possessing the Earth. Only a colony by proxy, but better than leaving nothing at all behind.
Howell:
Surely it had to be carried out on a huge scale.
Professor Bernard Quatermass:
Yes, if I’m right, if I’m right, we’ve come on a single instance, probably an accident, a landing that went wrong and they all died. The Thames valley was swamp then.
Minister of Defense:
You realize what you are implying? That we owe our human condition here to the intervention of insects.
Professor Bernard Quatermass:

Most switchblade designs incorporate a locking blade, in which the blade is locked against closure when the spring extends the blade to the fully opened position. The blade is unlocked by manually operating a mechanism that unlocks the blade and allows it to be folded and locked in the closed position.

“The more powerful the class, the more it claims not to exist, and its power is employed above all to enforce this claim. It is modest only on this one point, however, because this officially nonexistent bureaucracy simultaneously attributes the crowning achievements of history to its own infallible leadership. Though its existence is everywhere in evidence, the bureaucracy must be invisible as a class. As a result, all social life becomes insane.”

“Liberal attitudes towards the other are characterized both by respect for otherness, openness to it, and an obsessive fear of harassment. In short, the other is welcomed insofar as its presence is not intrusive, insofar as it is not really the other. Tolerance thus coincides with its opposite. My duty to be tolerant towards the other effectively means that I should not get too close to him or her, not intrude into his space—in short, that I should respect his intolerance towards my over-proximity. This is increasingly emerging as the central human right of advanced capitalist society: the right not to be ‘harassed’, that is, to be kept at a safe distance from others.”

Falling into total disuse in the 1970s the terrace enjoyed a number of large, multi-level underground shopping areas, originally built for air defense.
The largest is at the roundabout intersection of 24th street Gertrude Streets and Friendship Square where three levels of markets following streets from four directions meet under the giant snowflake atrium.

Such data — examples of a modern poetry capable of provoking sharp emotional reactions
(in this particular case, outrage at the fact that anyone’s life can be so pathetically
limited) — or even Burgess’s theory of Chicago’s social activities as being distributed
in distinct concentric zones, will undoubtedly prove useful in developing dérives.
In the “possible rendezvous,” on the other hand, the element of exploration is
minimal in comparison with that of behavioral disorientation. The subject is
invited to come alone to a certain place at a specified time. He is freed from the
bothersome obligations of the ordinary rendezvous since there is no one to wait for.
But since this “possible rendezvous” has brought him without warning to a place he may or
may not know, he observes the surroundings. It may be that the same spot has been
specified for a “possible rendezvous” for someone else whose identity he has no way
of knowing. Since he may never even have seen the other person before, he will be
encouraged to start up conversations with various passersby. He may meet no one, or
he may even by chance meet the person who has arranged the “possible rendezvous.”
In any case, particularly if the time and place have been well chosen, his use of
time will take an unexpected turn. He may even telephone someone else who doesn’t
know where the first “possible rendezvous” has taken him, in order to ask for another
one to be specified. One can see the virtually unlimited resources of this pastime.
