A great post from Anne on the relations between and the material contexts of design practice, criticism and critique (and critical thinking – not the same thing as critique, as I keep saying until I’m blue in the face). It ends with this elegant provocation:

And while we’re at it, how do ‘by-and-for the people’ technologies and media help to construct who ‘the people’ actually are and what they can do? Who benefits from this and in which ways?

That really couldn’t be closer to what I’m on about. Spooky, almost.
