Prompt: “Beautiful, snowy Tokyo city is bustling. The camera moves through the bustling city street, following several people enjoying the beautiful snowy weather and shopping at nearby stalls. Gorgeous sakura petals are flying through the wind along with snowflakes.”

Recycling plastics is just not viable. And it's been known for decades. 😲

What does get recycled in a viable way? Anything? What happens to old tech with precious metals? In reality, is it viable to reclaim? Or are they really just going to landfill?

You'd think by now there would be some sort of robust resilience built into the provision of internet services across the UK that would eliminate any downtime. But no. It seems there's not, or at least it's somewhat shaky. #skybroadband #nowbroadband

1) As someone who was (briefly) in charge of the Twitter Media team - the group tasked with getting high profile people onto Twitter, and verification - AND as one of the few ever to voluntarily give up the blue check, I want to try to articulate how risky this policy change is.

And with decisions like those today, those pulling the strings at the BBC have ensured it's now effectively a state broadcaster.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

WTF? *Please* BBC, stop capitulating to this cynical, divisive, populist Tory Government - stop letting yourselves be used to stoke these culture wars https://t.co/zwlymnRhbv
