I posted about this
NYT Review of the new Museum of Modern Art exhibition
Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980 but hadn't taken much of a dive into the exhibition itself.
Aside from that absolutely gorgeous structure - Monument to the Battle of the Sutjeska - there's a lot to unpack in the postwar decisions to create a welcoming, socialist environment in Yugoslavia but it's always good to start with the basics. Watch
this video for a good overview of the thinking behind the enormous project and many great images from initial inception and construction.

!!! found this obscure nintendo VHS from 1989 that i watched so many times as a kid. it's an hour of cheats and strategies explained by the "u.s. national video game team". the sfx and bone-dry voiceover haunt me to this day. i owned none of the games.

Most of the time when I read about VR, it's in the context of videogaming in one way or another. That's all well and good but seems like a fairly limited scope if it's going to be the Next Great Technology (which is another reason AR has always seemed more interesting to me).
However, this Marshall Project piece on
A View of Tomorrow that covers how Virtual Reality is being used inside of correctional facilities is a new and compelling implementation of the tech. Imagine being imprisoned for any significant amount of time - 10, 20, 40 years - and how much the world would have changed during that time. The ability to acclimate to the outside world would be jarring, at best, once you've finally earned your freedom.
Correctional facilities in Philadelphia and Colorado are trying out new experimental programs in which they help prisoners ready themselves for that release by immersing them in a virtual world before they experience it. Something as simple as walking around the halfway house they'll be staying in or going to the grocery store with self-checkout kiosks can be a huge help on learning how to simply
exist.
There's plenty of discourse to be had around prisons in general that shouldn't be washed over just because some are using some new fangled technology. On the whole, they're inhumane, dangerous and often do nothing to rehabilitate their inhabitants. It's an awful scenario and this experiment shouldn't be thought of as a softening of that experience but at least some are making an effort to help the incarcerated stay away once they are released.

If I could give any advice to my younger self it’d be to take advantage of bread bowls before you grow up and get too in your head about it.
