Finally, some real yuks from Metropolis

No, this drop is too small, and the bucket is too big. Please, please, don't panic. The truth is an unsettling place. But I'd be shirking if I didn't just state plainly that the situation is dire. The stakes are high. The outcome is in doubt. It may be saying too much to say that the future of architecture hangs in the balance and the continuum of human culture flirts with the abyss. But it has been said before. And when you take in the scope of what is happening around us, when you face down that onrushing void, it is terrible. Terrible in that old sense, the one that remembers terror. So it comes to this: How will we fill that bucket? How will we fill that bucket?
