Urbanism, culture, idiosyncrasy

I stumbled upon Addison's work when he took a deep dive into a non-standard Pizza Hut and boy am I happy to have found him. He writes about urbanism, zoning, roads, and cars, but in a way that's fun and engaging. I look forward to reading his work every day in my inbox!

The Sword and the Sandwich

Covering far-right extremism, sandwiches, and everything in between.

Talia's book Culture Warlords was incredible, and now she delivers the same sensibility to shorter form essays. She also writes about sandwiches and has a fictional book in the works in the pages of her newsletter. A must read!
