In other news, the concept of Irony has been retired through overuse. It will move into a retirement home along with Satire, who found it increasingly hard to keep up with the actual real world.

Seriously wondering how I could turn #Townscaper into a piece of evolving art that I could hang on the wall. It's just gorgeous.
