I have a particular interest in how Tagore is still transcending into the world, like when quoted by someone like @BarackObama or Marta Nussbaum. But esp. when through music, mostly settings. A favorite is Songs of Eternity. Here song 3, Peace My Heart

Eens kijken of Grok mij hierbij kan helpen. Het type vliegtuig kan ik niet thuisbrengen. @grok kun je dit type identificeren? Het stond in een hangar op het veldje Bückeburg-Weinberg.

I wonder what other issues humankind is struggling with can an exceptional engineer’s mind like that of @elonmusk help solve? Safe nuclear power (useful on Mars)? Health issues (useful on Mars)? Zero emission air transport (not polluting Mars)? etc

Hey @AirFranceKLM, one of your DC7s is still 'alive'. It is ex PH-DSR. Something for @Aviodrome ?
A rare sight for travelers passing Phoenix Goodyear airport, Arizona. DC-7C N777EA. Here since '76, it is in good shape. This was the last DC-7 Douglas produced. Next online was their first DC-8. 1/4 #planespotting #avgeek #aviationdaily #aircraft #aviationlovers #aviation

From the article: GHG emissions from transportation make up a very small amount of the emissions from food and what you eat is far more important than where your food traveled from.

Eating locally doesn't make a big difference to your carbon footprint (in fact, it can make it worse).
What you eat is much more important than how far it has travelled.

“The democratic world has grown accustomed to making concessions to dictatorships.”
I am extremely proud of @avalaina - Oleksandra Matviychuk, the head of the Centre for Civil Liberties, who received the Nobel Peace Prize today on behalf of her organization and Ukrainian human rights defenders. Her Nobel lecture is an absolute must-read: nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/…
One ‘comedian’ that earned our eternal respect for his humanity. Another one is now guiding his country towards victory over evil.

From the article: Regimes that treat their soldiers so badly for so long and keep losing tend to not survive long, and this is one of the basic facts of history.

Quote:”they’re mobilizing untrained reserves. They are forming some company and battalion tactical groups without any collective training. And they send them into battle.”
Ukrainian reaction to the recent NYTimes editorial in fact calling on Ukraine to give up because “it’s complicated” and “Putin is too strong.”

The 3rd anniversary of the @ZelenskyyUa inauguration. The man who got into the right place at the right time. The man who breathed new life into world politics. The man who made 🇺🇦 a symbol of resilience & freedom. The man who will put an end to the Russian barbarian civilization
