There. He felt it again. The whole house had unmistakeably slid toward the retaining wall, as if inching toward edificial suicide.

Unhappy Hipsters finds pictures of modern architecture and “ideal homes”, and simply recaptions them.

But unlike most one-theme blogs on Tumblr (and other networks), this one has enduring appeal and even depth. The author is more than witty and insightful; he or she is dealing in truths disguised as humour.

Given the charmlessness (to me) and austerity of current and recent design concepts, and the hollowness of material values and conformity, this is a huge subject boiled down beautifully into — I shudder to say Twitter, but Twitter-length stories.

Best of the best!
