@simonkuo It's not our twitter anymore, Simon. A loss.

@KCURUpToDate @tyler_enders @madeinkc_ @REmporium @cityscenekc @kcur "Like" isn't at all what I mean here, re: disconnected ownership - and maybe people don't realize they need to shop and eat at the Plaza if they want to keep it. Can't imagine #KC without it. Thanks KCUR for watching out. #kansascity

Breakfast of Champions, Mother Night, Slaughterhouse Five, Cat's Cradle, Player Piano moved my young mind, the craziness and brilliance of life. Premiering at NY Film Festival Nov 7th, a documentary on Kurt Vonnegut that took a lifetime to make.

Extreme wildfires in US, Australia, and Russia generate tens of millions of tons of CO2, a vicious cycle exacerbating #climatechange. #sustainability

[Josefina Salomon @josefinasalomon]

Truly alarming indeed. A new study revealed that 10  protected forests had emitted more carbon than they locked away over the past 20 years. #climatechange

An article from Ozy, solid writing, thanks to @josefinesalomon, and for the mention, @stevekleber. FYI, pro futurists don't predict and futures ends with an s. There's a whole slew of many possible futures, way beyond "the future." Good to be back, twitterworld.#cities #urbanism

@garrygolden Just shows how important a book can be to expose important research and change minds.

[Cindy Frewen @Urbanverse]

@garyvee and belief in us.

@BRICTV thanks Brian @brictv for a lively town hall this evening. Let's do one live in Brooklyn later. And maybe you'll do hybrid town halls - a safe number in person, thousands online.

Pleased to contribute to this book of essays about the brilliant and influential Future Shock by Alvin Toffler as a 50 year review. Does new tech still confuse and disrupt, or have we grown used to rapid change?

“My 90-year-old mother streams Doris Day songs on her Echo speaker with just a verbal command. In sum, we manage a multitude of changes on our own terms.” —Cindy Frewen (wrting in After Shock) @Urbanverse #futureshockat50 #ai #tech #future

Thank you, got it!

Foresight is serious, demanding, data-driven work.

For journalists who write about the future -- interviewing only or mostly men means you're writing about the future of X with blinders on. It's an easy problem to fix.
