This is Princess. She and her human work hard every day collecting trash at an apartment building. It is an often thankless job, but one kind resident thought the pair should know how much they are appreciated, and that Princess should get a uniform too. 13/10 for all (TT: oliviaolp)

As Canada's relationship with the US continues to fracture, NORAD will be the agreement to watch.

If it collapses, I would expect the US to start seizing Canadian territory by force.

Malaysia has blocked 200 tonnes of illegally shipped e-waste — a stark reminder that the so-called circular economy is still a distant goal.

There is no “away”. Our waste ends up somewhere — too often poisoning communities in the Global South. Producers must be held responsible.

Deeper European cooperation on defence is crucial with an expansionist Russia on our doorstep.

Today is apparently 'Drink Wine Day'! So here’s a toast with a 1,700-year-old vintage! 🍷

A Roman bottle of wine found in a grave in Speyer, dating to the 4th century AD.

Proof that wine lovers have always been a timeless bunch!
