I doubt the world has ever been witness to such a high-profile display of #dementia with both #Biden and #Trump. I don't care about the politics in faraway dysfunctional democracies but I hope that we at least all gain a greater respect and understanding for dementia and ageing.

Some creepy right-wing group in Switzerland who think it's still the 16th century are whining about Eurovision Song Contest - is it possible for EDU Schweiz to be more irrelevant and hilariously ridiculous? Fucking morons. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/a…

Nobody: Me: Denmark has official road signage featuring a #dogsled . Here's the older version and the newest. Obvi used in #Greenland, not Aalborg.

The "phoenix rising" narrative about #Detroit's #UrbanRenewal doesn't mean much to the vast majority of the citizens. Typical american hype and bravado: youtu.be/yceJTBMP8jQ #urbanism #lifesizedcity #urbanplanning

So Royal Borough of Greenwich calls the guy who defaced Banksy rhino with a tag "a mindless vandal". Fair enough. But what about the mindless vandal who abandoned a car in #publicspace or the borough's lack of action on that front? #banksy #fuckcars theguardian.com/artanddesign/a…

Can anyone recommend a tree counting app that can be used with and by volunteers to map every tree in a city? User-friendly and adaptable to language versions. #trees #urbanism #treecounting

I met the guy who allegedly tried to kill #trump, at a party last year in #kyiv. He was... quirky. No, weird. Was trying to get UA support for a mercenary battalion of Afghanis or something. Didn't get far. Wild. #AssassinationAttempt
