Be ungovernable, like birds who make nests OUT OF ANTI-BIRD SPIKES. A new study describes resourceful Dutch & Belgian corvids besting evil architecture by stealing metal anti-bird strips and using them like thorny twigs, to construct their homes.

Like thorns, the spikes may protect their nests from predators.

Lead author Auke-Florian Hiemstra wrote an epic ๐Ÿงต about his research that's worth a read: https://twitter.com/AukeFlorian/status/1678703433900064773

I love a good cross-platform transfer.

I just got off the train on the left, and I'm changing to the train that's currently arriving on the right.

All I had to do was walk across the platform to change trains. And I had 5 minutes to do it.

This is done intentionally, because many other passengers will be making exactly the same transfer here at Utrecht Centraal.

Well-planned transit is a beautiful thing.

If your city couldnโ€™t avoid making a massive city-damaging mistake in the first place, do the next best thing โ€” remove the mistake, and repair your city. Like #Utrecht, Netherlands did with its central area river, then freeway, then river again.
