Hello! It’s time for Odds and Ends, your weekly round-up of the most interesting links I’ve seen this week, plus a few mini-takes on shorter topics.

In this edition I feature:

  • The YouTube video that I genuinely think has changed my life.

  • A brief urbanist review of Kuala Lumpur, based on my 48 hours here so far (therefore making me an expert in the place).

  • A great follow up to my piece slagging off lobby journalists

  • Annoying news about the prospects for vertical farming becoming a thing

  • How the EU/Russia border has got a lot scarier

  • And more!

Quick Reminder: There really are very few tickets now to the Odds and Ends of History January event on the future of transport, where I’ll be speaking to the excellent Michael Dnes. Book your tickets now to avoid disapppointment! (I guess I’ll have to officially announce the February event soon too!)
