Opening reception honoring fallen friend of Oslo Freedom Forum, Raed Fares, is a powerful reminder of how much it costs when we falter in defense of freedom & make excuses for that silence.

#OsloFF @OsloFF @HRF
Fares repeatedly referenced the "shameful indifference" of the world to Syria. He wasn't wrong.
"The issue is within us, in the dictator Assad inside each one of us. Our victory is dependent on what we change first from within"

Is anyone tracking male vs female presidential candidate news coverage for 2020 yet? Overall time, positive vs not coverage, substance vs presence?
For example, if not for Twitter, which @ewarren is hands-down winning, I would know almost nothing about her campaign except from her townhalls. Why?

Has there ever been a campaign cycle where the broad debate of ideas and the candidates championing them has been more important?

I'm staying with a friend who has brought home some club girl who would be too dumb, as a box of rocks, to understand what a box or a rock is, and I'm considering live-tweeting how bad it is.
Enhanced club girl life, when English is not their first language, includes learning nonsensical idiomatic and colloquial language from some Soviet-era phrase book I think they must pass around, dog-earred and stained with hot lipstick shades of years past...
... So in between bursts of the nails-on-chalkboard laughter of a halfwit comes the very certain use of phrases meant to be smart.

"Yes this is the story of my life! Of my life!"

Potential 2020 face-off, spill story edition: the America we want to be vs the America POTUS wants us to be

(@ewarren photo credit to @online_shawn)

Yes, POTUS one suggested bulldozing a school because someone spilled Coke on his carpet.
And let's not forget this gem, where an octogenarian is bleeding out after an accident, and POTUS is still pissed about his marble floor.
And hey, because it's Sunday -- and the guy in the background taking a pic of POTUS ditching the meeting makes me laugh -- that time POTUS arrived late and left early from a meeting on gender, leaving 2 of the world's most powerful women to clean up his mess:

#Oslo is ALMOST banning cars from its city centre, replacing parking spaces with flower beds, & building 60km of bike-lanes. All to create an almost car-free city centre by this year. Via @wef

Glad to be back working & speaking in #Oslo this week. #UFGC19
The best recent waterfront development in the world? Definitely top 3.

- 1/2 housing, 1/2 job space, lots of retail.
- half of housing 3+ bedrooms, lots of kids
- outstanding public realm design.
- diverse, interesting architecture.

Aker Brygge/Tjuvholmen communities in #Oslo.
Few things I enjoy more than deep conversations (over drinks) on urgent city-building challenges with smart urbanists (who are also friends). Great catching up with @JasonThorne_RPP & @MikeLydon tonight in #Oslo during @UrbanFutureConf #UFGC19 Europe’s biggest urbanism gathering.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...
