If you could ask the UK public 3 questions in a poll, what would they be? (I've bought these from the brilliant Joe Twyman at the excellent Deltapoll ) - Erm, becuase twitter polls are not real polls, right...

Great to see @StewartBrandDoc on the big screen last night. Thanks Maxim for the invitation and to the team at Stripe Press for hosting. The excellent conversations afterwards made me think I might have another go at using Twitter more. Probably not though.

Listening to Asif Khan on matthew blunderfield's #ScaffoldPodcast and greatly appreciating the mentions of #ChristopherAlexander, #KeithCrichlow and Stewart Brand within the first five minutes. architecturefoundation.org.uk/news/scaffold-… #howbuildingslearn Long Now London #APatternLanguage

Went down an enjoyable link trail over Zoom coffee with @cparreno14 last week. Started with Tom Gauld's "Two Rocks Converse" from 2010. longnow.org/ideas/02010/08… (providing the Long Now Foundation link because Mr Gauld's original tweet linked to a since-rotted Flickr address)

This The Atlantic piece about experiments by @charlescockell and several others does a good job of mentioning many of the maintenance and futureproofing questions that come up regularly for us. theatlantic.com/science/archiv… #maintenance

Great to have this exhibition on display in Europe. The projects showcased are from all around the globe and the effort to assemble it was truly international. As Brian Eno/Brian Eno News and #BetteA put it: "art makes feelings happen". This is vital if we are to be #goodancestors.

Utterly agreed, Glenn Micallef. 👏 A delight to see Michael there representing the team.
