Occasional links - 17.05.2020
Hello,
The beautiful thing about naming this 'occasional links' is that allows me to be a bit fluid about when it goes out and this week is a bit late fluid. Perhaps you don't need anything else to take in or read at the moment but there's a few things below if you are in the mood. As always interested to hear what you think by reply or via Twitter. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
An intimate look at Italy's saffron harvest
One of those things I would take for granted but fascinating to see. Some beautiful photography.
Best Stonehenge replica ever
Things I didn't know... there's a website dedicated to Stonehenge replicas.
Whole new Stonehenge sets get made for films - obvious when you think about it.
The science of wellbeing - Yale
A free course in wellbeing from Yale and entirely free to follow online. Thank you Nicola!
Cats and dominos
Really really loved this video on Twitter this week.
The system that actually worked
Found this really interesting on how a system that was originally designed for nuclear war has kept us all working from home and the story of the people that keep it all going behind the scenes.
Brutgroup
Brut as in brutal. Probably the best picture to grace my timeline this week on Instagram. Worth a follow.
The office is dead
Hopefully not entirely but...
Really enjoyed this one. The sense of playfulness as well as the thought of sitting out in a warm summer evening in a Spanish square eating tapas and sipping beer. My joke about the trend for arches going full circle on Twitter wasn't as well received as I'd hoped - I thought it was funny though.
How the 'plandremic' video hoax went viral
How our social media platforms spread viral medical misinformation and how hard it is to stop this.
Beautiful images of American freeways. Via Irène DB on Twitter who is well worth a follow.
That's all for this week.
Love as always, Andy x

Unparelld'arquitectes creates public performance backdrop in OlotFrom startups and tech giants to more old-school Wall Street firms, businesses are rethinking the role of office space and whether they even need it.
