Check out this @DJIGlobal video of its DJI Mavic 3 Pro flying over Mt #Everest (8848.86 m). The drone ascended ~3,500 meters from the base camp to the summit of the highest mountain in the world.
Here, @CrisisGroup warns that #SouthSudan is staring over the edge as the #Sudan war blocks most of its oil exports. Hyperinflation, famine, and political unrest could follow in a country already wracked with violence and hunger.

This male sumatran orangutan is Raku: he got a wound on his right cheek. Scientists were surprised to spot him applying a medicinal plant on his face: akar kuning (Fibranaurea tinctoria), a type of climbing vine that acts as an analgesic.
After about 8 days he applied the chewed stems and leaves of the plant, the wound began to heal and in approximately a month he completely recovered.
This series of observations undoubtedly constitutes the conclusive proof of the level of ingenuity that these majestic animals have.
I found a guy who goes around Miami asking insanely fit people over 40:
• What they eat
• What workouts they do
• What supplements they take
They all have really surprising answers...
Here are my top 8:
There is a guy on TikTok who asks anyone 30 to 100 y.o their:
• Worst regrets
• Biggest lessons
• #1 Advice to the next gen
I scrolled for like 30 min and found some patterns...
My top 9:
Famine in the northern part of Gaza is imminent.
1.1 million people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger - the highest number of people ever recorded –anywhere, anytime.
This is an entirely manmade disaster.
And it can - and must - be halted.
#Chad. Je dédie ma 1ʳᵉ publication, suite au rétablissement de la connexion internet qui m'avait isolé de cet espace, à l'instar de nombre de mes compatriotes tchadiens résidant au #Tchad, pour honorer la mémoire des victimes du drame du 27 et 28 février ayant tragiquement emporté la vie au Président du Parti socialiste sans frontières ainsi que plusieurs autres citoyens #tchadiens.
Mon affliction est si profonde que j'ai trouvé difficile de la traduire par des mots. Néanmoins, je m'emploie à le faire, nourrissant l'espoir de parvenir à alléger quelque peu le fardeau de mon cœur.
La récente effusion de sang en pleine capitale de notre pays rappelle douloureusement que sans réconciliation véritable et inclusive, sans une justice qui embrasse tous les fils et filles du Tchad, quelles que soient leurs origines et affiliations politiques, nous sommes condamnés à répéter les erreurs du passé.
Nous voilà, hélas, condamnés à perpétuer les errements de notre passé, si nous ne changeons pas de cap, les plus hautes autorités en tête. Ces errements, sources de destruction pour notre tissu social, entravent également notre élan vers un développement socioéconomique harmonieux.
L'avenir de notre pays m'inspire une profonde inquiétude si nous persistons dans cette voie. Comment aspirer à un avenir prospère lorsque la violence éclipse la #paix, lorsque l'injustice nourrit la rancœur ? Chaque nouvelle tragédie, telle celle qui a récemment frappé la famille du Président Yaya #Dillo, grave une cicatrice supplémentaire sur le cœur déjà meurtri des Tchadiens que nous sommes.
Je présente mes condoléances les plus sincères à toutes les familles endeuillées et souhaite un rétablissement prompt aux blessés. Votre peine est la nôtre, et c'est ensemble que nous la portons.

FAILURE OF THE LAKE TURKANA WIND PROJECT & WHY IT IS A LANDMINE IN DENMARK
When the Sh70 bn Lake Turkana Wind Project was completed in 2017, it was set to deliver power to 1M homes in Kenya. Seven years later, little is said about the project.
So, what went wrong? 🧵
South Sudan People's Defence Force is calling for calm after loud explosions were heard from the Giada Military Barracks in Juba shortly after midnight
The SSPDF Spokesperson Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai has said that explosions went off after the ammunition bunker allegedly caught fire.
You might not have seen it before, but this is the world's 4th tallest building.
It's the Makkah Clock Royal Tower, built ten years ago in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
And it's not the only megastructure you probably haven't heard of...
Israel has dropped almost 65,000 tons of explosives - this means that Israel has dropped 28 kilograms of explosives on Gaza for every man, woman, and child.
It’s not war. It’s genocide.
A thread of lesser-known architectural wonders that we lost over the ages (and what happened to them)... 🧵
1. Old London Bridge - the longest inhabited bridge in Europe
The ceasefire in #Gaza is long overdue.
26,000 people have died - 70% women & children.
8,000 missing.
64,000 injured.
1.7 million displaced.
Sick not getting services.
Outbreaks & hunger spreading.
Health system on its knees.
The solution exists. It's only the will that is required. Let's choose peace. #EB154
