Utterly agreed, @GlennMicallef. 👏 A delight to see Michael there representing the team.
Moment #1. The Good Ancestor exhibition: I began by opening an exhibition on future generations — a powerful reminder of our duty to be good ancestors.🇪🇺 Through art and culture, we are called to imagine and build a world that is fairer, more sustainable, and more inclusive for those who will come after us.

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 @brianeno/@dark_shark and #BetteA put it: "art makes feelings happen". This is vital if we are to be #goodancestors.
Today, on the European Day for Solidarity Between Generations, we are reminded of those generations that don't yet have a seat at the table. We joined together in a series of powerful moments: ➡️Opening of the UN exhibition “Good ancestors” on future generations at the European Commission. ➡️ Dialogue at the European Parliament on how to build a fairer, more inclusive Europe. ➡️ A high-level exchange with The Elders, bridging global wisdom with local action. ➡️ A visit to CALICO, a co-housing project bringing generations together under one roof. Now we’re working on the first-ever EU Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness. 🗣️ Your voice matters! Tell us what intergenerational fairness means to you via the Citizens’ Engagement Platform: 👉 citizens.ec.europa.eu/index_…

Did anyone get a @ymbbt ticket? I'd be fascinated to know how many were available and how many people applied this time. #ymbbt #immersivetheatre

The video from my @ignitetalks for @longnow last month can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=AtQo8fG6… In it I explain a little about the #uffingtonwhitehorse and why we from @LongNowLdn have been helping @nationaltrust maintain it for the last few years. #maintenance #longnow
Replying to @longnow
Next, architect and designer Christopher Daniel (@polysemic) takes us to the White Horse of Uffington, a 3,000-year-old piece of land art and testament to the power of maintenance.

Trying to sign up on the @PlacesJournal website and I've tried about eight different combinations of numbers, symbols, lower and upper case letters, none of which pushed the password rating beyond "medium". I commend the commitment to data security, but this is ridiculous!

Stuck in @HeathrowAirport T2 after @lufthansa cancelled my flight at short notice with nothing offered except "our apologies". The least they could offer is complementary lounge access, but... no. The branding is shared when they want it to be, but not when it might help us.

Of all the "services" (platforms, tools, softwares, whatever) I have to use in the course of a working week, Microsoft OneDrive has to be the worst.

Dropbox, iCloud and Google Drive all just WORK. They have their hiccoughs, sure, but generally they just sit there as the invisible infrastructure of the workflows of each of my teammates (whether individually or together).

OneDrive, on the other hand... new problems every week. Utterly unreliable. Right now, it's ruining my Monday.

One issue with the shift back to blogging is that blogging tends ~extremely dudely~. At least in the fields I (and yous) operate in: digital culture, tech criticism, futures, professional life. I wish I knew why that is.
