Most #plastic is collected properly but still 20% end up in the oceans via rivers, especially in coastal towns in middle-income countries. @TheOceanCleanupis trying to collect some of it. On their website you can see which rivers contribute the most. https://t.co/jR8I16tHDM

Talking of eyebrows I’m immediately repulsed by thick ones, not to mention blonde dyed eyebrows or even painted.

Being a tetraplegic isn’t all bad. As I write this, I am having a pedicure while eating caviar with a plastic spoon. My girlfriend is tickling me under the chin. I have just proposed to her. ‘Barkis is willin’’.

What a shock to know of his fall in Rome. His insights in being so desperately sick are shedding light on the fragile human condition.

Dear followers,

I should like you to know that on Boxing Day, in Rome, after taking a comfortable walk to the Piazza del Popolo, followed by a stroll through the Villa Borghese, and then back to the apartment, I had a fall.

Once upon a river. This stream in Northern Italy is gone due to drought. The Olbicella lakes up the valley is where I swam as a kid. So sad to see this happening. https://t.co/0YazSZxwkn #ClimateEmergency

A nanoscale engine able to transduce energy and do work. Remember the steam engine in the 18th century and how if fundamentally changed societies? "We might be in a similar phase now with these molecular nanomotors", say researchers at TU Delft in the NL. https://t.co/5xQO4bWWF0

Official water shortage declared for the world's second largest agricultural exporter after the US. Yes, the #Netherlands, land of water. Dutch declare shortage in 'land of water' https://t.co/DLT87cJ3w6

I am not sure how 2 high rise towers of 150 & 180 m. can foster a sense of community. In smaller tower blocks nearby neighbours hardly speak to each other. If they do, might not be a friendly exchange. Already existing high rise caused strong winds there https://t.co/kwpdbP8alA

La responsabilità politica dell'omicidio per futili motivi a Civitanova Marche di Alika Ogorchukwu, un venditore ambulante nigeriano di 39 anni, risiede nei discorsi dell'estrema destra di Meloni e Salvini, ma anche nell'accettazione della sua normalità. https://t.co/BDIDdzb71M

Voorburg railway station will be fitted with solar panels. It's a good sign in the right direction if even smaller station go solar. The futuristic station of Rotterdam has them since its renovation years ago, so time to have others follow suit. https://t.co/pEgD7JYlIh

Il video più bello che vedrete oggi.

Una ballerina palestinese in vacanza in Italia si è innamorata di questa melodia camminando per strada. Suo padre l'ha incoraggiata a ballare dicendo "Dai Reema, balla per tuo padre, fallo per me...".

FWIW, a thread 🧵to share my preliminary thoughts on the impact of #UkraineRussiaWar on China’s future strategic orientation.

Germany seizes Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov’s $600m superyacht. The properties of the Russian oligarchs show the sheer size of their wealth. If only they would care about their own people and the state of the world, they would stop this war. https://t.co/2L73WuN9FV

There is some evidence that considerable amounts of the Russian forces have not yet entered Ukraine. Why not? Maybe for logistic reasons, or maybe because he has purposes in mind beyond the defeat of Ukraine’s armed forces. 2/2 https://t.co/xyNDA6ExI8

There is a risk that he (Putin) might for example be seeking to establish a land bridge through either Lithuania or Poland to the Russian enclave on the Baltic Kaliningrad 1/2 https://t.co/xyNDA6ExI8
