@AerLingus Great, thank you!

We have removed over 8,000,000 kg (17.8m lb) of trash from the oceans and rivers worldwide. As a non-profit organization, it’s your donations, big and small, that make this happen. Thank YOU.

You can help clean our oceans, too, by donating here: https://t.co/wzskOKmnfR.

A brilliant analysis by @chamath on future value creation opportunities based on generative AI:

“Most of the money made off the invention of refrigeration wasn't by the makers, but companies like Coke.

If AI/LLMs are refrigeration, who is next Coca-Cola?

"I love returning home in the dark, to see the lights of my house shining. Like astronauts feel returning from the moon, travelling through space towards a waiting world. Soon I will be home, part once more of the indoor world of light and warmth." ~C.R.Milne #christmaslights

The little booths at the bottom have speakers that read you a story while you wait for your train.

Oh, I'm tired of the noise and the turmoil of battle,
And I'm even upset by the lowing of cattle,
And the clang of' the bluebells is death to my liver,
And the roar of the dandelion gives me a shiver,
Give me Peace; that is all, that is all that I seek…

BREAKING: 200,000 kg of plastic extracted from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

System 002/B has made its first extraction of 2023 - 6260 kg of plastic out of the GPGP, bringing us to an exciting milestone - together, we have cleaned up over 200,000 kg of plastic from the GPGP.

"Data and documenting information [on plastic pollution] is equally as important as removing plastic because we don't want to be cleaning the ocean or rivers our whole life, forever; we want to go out of business." - Head of Research Laurent Lebreton.

Incredible scenes from the MCG in as @cricketireland have beaten England at the T20 Cricket World Cup. SACA's Andy Balbirnie won man of the match for his innings of 62 before SACA bowler Josh Little ripped open the English top order including the England captain. Congrats!
