I just took part in The Big Plastic Count, as we’re still producing far too much plastic. @_RobbieMoore, will you lead the way at the negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty and push for a cut in production of at least 75% by 2040?
Donald Trump was the first president in 129 years to lose the popular vote twice.
He was the first president in 89 years to lose the presidency, the House and the Senate in a single term.
He was the first president in 28 years to lose re-election.
He lost the most jobs of any president since Herbert Hoover.
He lost the Trump University case, the fake charity case, the NY business fraud case, the E. Jean Carroll sexual assault and defamation case, he lost a lawsuit against The NY Times, lost countless appeals, lost 61 lawsuits related to the 2020 election, lost the state of Georgia three times, lost Pennsylvania, Arizona, Texas & Wisconsin twice, and he even managed to lose 8 times at the friggin Emmy Awards.
He’s under 4 indictments, facing 91 felony charges and to date, he’s been ordered to pay more than a hundred million dollars in penalties with a potential $370 million more in the week ahead where he may also lose his right to engage in the state's real estate industry for life and be barred entirely from doing business in New York.
All of this, while he’s been saying that windmills kill whales, that magnets stop working when wet, that he ran against Obama, that E. Jean Carroll is a political rival and that Nikki Haley was in charge of security on January 6th, for which one could ostensibly make the case that in addition to everything else he’s been losing — he is also losing his damn mind.
He once said there would be so much winning people would get sick of it. When in reality, when it comes to Donald Trump in the last several years, there’s been nothing but losing.
He was right about one thing however — we are sick of it.
And by it, I mean him.
We like former presidents who aren’t losers and at the end of the day, Donald Trump is a loser, maybe the biggest loser in history. Many people say so. The best people.
Believe me.
For one week in March, thousands of people around the UK are counting the plastic they throw away in the UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste.
The results will pressure the UK government to tackle plastic pollution for good. Join in https://t.co/wFd9MrCTat
@waitrose I thought I'd finally found my perfect muesli in your Essentials range 😋, however the bag isn't recyclable. Any plans to change or should I continue my hunt?
@mrdanwalker Yep, this happened to me also mid 2020. A backup failed and nothing I could do would bring the messages back from before that date.
(Essentially, it fails then overwrites the backup with it's new empty version, deleting the old)
@Darkblo00m@Culture_Crit ...Back in time to when beauty and quality mattered in housebuilding.
"Healing" does not equal "Empire" simply because the original was built in the same time period 🤦♂️
BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day!
These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years.

@ProfBrianCox The people who have this perception are the same that have been grumbling about the result for 7 years.
It doesn't change anything. Perception is the reason the vote divides so much. (My advice - you'll sleep a lot easier if you broaden your perceptions...)
Hard to grasp the concept that whatever we do now will only make a difference for our great grandchildren ...nothing is stopping ~1m sea level rise in our generation 😳
A bit geeky, but here's an updated chart comparing UK producer and consumer price #inflation in the #food sector... 👇
(CPI food price inflation is following PPI food price inflation down with the usual 6 month lag - so no '#greedflation' here - and should now fall sharply 🤓)
@surreylive@BrightHorizons With more warning, emergency provision could have been arranged with other local nurseries and the council.
6 weeks notice (via late-night email) is completely inadequate.
@Robert_Gordon_ @BBCPolitics Unfortunately not. Why would the brightest stars go into politics when they could earn twice as much elsewhere and without the 24/7 abuse? Not a popular opinion, but there should be better incentives for MPs, attract more talent in (+less need to seek unethical financial benefit)
