On the night of August 20, 1863, proslavery
guerrillas from Missouri set off to attack the
antislavery stronghold of Lawrence, Kansas,burning it to the ground and killing at least 150
people.
There's an organized reenactment happening on
Twitter tonight and tomorrow, under the hashtag#qr1863.
It features Twitter accounts for Lawrence
townspeople of the time, as well as Union soldiers,
and proslavery leader William Quantrill alltweeting their perspective of the raid using real
historical sources.

OnMarch 14th,he committed suicide by firing a

Joyce's Ulysses Map.
As Drawn by V. Nabokov
For those who teach Ulysses, Nabokov has a
suggestion: Instead of perpetuating thepretentious nonsense of Homeric, chromatic, and
visceral chapter headings, instructors should
prepare maps of Dublin with Blooms and Stephen
s intertwining itineraries clearly traced.

The most impressive things is to see how "Britannia

Third Millennium, but is like Queen Victoria is still
ruling the world.
Upon the insight of mr MacGregor (head of British
Museum, curator of the whole thing), out of the
100 most important objects of the history of
human kind, 11 of them comes from England.

I think that Western Culture is going through a
quantum shift, but few people aknowledge this.
Everyone is busy analyzing the surface of things,
few people are digging the hidden parts.
Chelsea Manning is a fantastic cultural shift. But
no one notices it

Kowloon, Hong Kong
Hak Nam
In his 1972 novel 'Invisible Cities', Italo Calvino
uses the conceit of the explorer Marco Polo
describing the imagined, yet seemingly physicallyimpossible, cities he has encountered on his
travels to, in turn, explore the workings of
imagination itself. Fantastical urban scenes are
described, such as the city that is a thin as a sheet
of paper, but which 'seems to continue, in

perspective, multiplying its repertory of images',
or the city that consists merely of the props of its
construction (cranes, scaffolding, 'beams that prop
up other beams') and nothing else.
'Harmonious Anarchy': revisiting Hak Nam, Hong
Kong's slum city
Hak Nam, the giant slum city in Hong Kong's
Kowloon that was torn down in 1993, could almost
be one of Calvino's urban dreams. Like a depiction
from the Middle Ages of some ancient, towering
city, the structure was at once awe-inspiring and
unnerving in its scale and squalor. With 35,000
people living in a series of cheek-by-jowl buildings
up to 14 floors in height, circulation permitted by
labyrithine passageways full of rubbish, 'the
Walled City', as it was known, would have tested
even the most enthusiastic of those early-20th-
century Modernist proponents of
'Existenzminimum'.
