Broadacre City — Frank Lloyd Wright's Utopia Dystopia
Democracy… we have started toward a new integration—to an integration along the horizontal line which we call the great highway.
- Frank Lloyd Wright, September 1931.
Today I learned about Broadacre City from Phil Edwards’ YouTube video, The truth about Utopias.

Icebergs can get stuck on underwater mountains
The current largest iceberg, A-23A, is currently spinning in place on top of an underwater mountain:
After leaving Antarctic waters, the iceberg got stuck in a vortex over a seamount, or an underwater mountain. Imagine a piece of ice about 1,500 square miles in area and as deep as the Empire State Building spinning slowly but steadily enough to fully rotate it on its head over the course of about 24 days.
