We need one of these but for river delta sinking and sea level rise. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6700d58ae5ea05deff36b45ac9801cb5bb824f1fc17e479964713fe1648b2274.file
“Many of the world's biggest river deltas—including the Nile, Amazon and Ganges —are sinking faster than global sea levels are rising. This means subsidence is becoming the main driver of land loss, coastal flooding and saltwater intrusion at river deltas—surpassing the impacts of sea-level rise from climate change. Researchers also found that groundwater extraction is the biggest cause of subsidence at deltas globally, with urban expansion and declines in rivers' sediment loads contributing to the overall sinking trend.” https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/news/18-of-earth-s-biggest-river-deltas-including-the-nile-and-amazon-are-sinking-faster-than-global-sea-levels-are-rising/ https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9dcaf88e3d38fc5ffaacf2017d80e785664c45f38606f651b92b1a644f540665.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5671ac785bfc5446c856de17c87d6ce16687ecf9d3cf851963776672c5fba714.file
"'Rivers and streams are collapsing under hundreds of tons of waste,' University of Tirana biologist Ferdinand Bego. As floods become more frequent due to climate change, the low recycling rates in Albania were deepening their impact." https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260113-albania-s-waste-choked-rivers-worsen-deadly-floods https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b56e7311b87523a14e099ece7ca8c69c2b2f928634b4e6bf62f1b30d3659bdf6.file
People tell me the Pasig river looks better these days. Maybe so. 1,600 tonnes of garbage was removed in 2024 alone, and 63,000 tons made it out into the ocean. I am looking forward to the 2025 figures.

Let me try a variation: "‘Learn a building craft’ is not a snarky command, but a very serious program to remove the chains of modernity." https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b360d2a12d41328557bef2d326ba2176b97cd244ee5e48989f30621e010db043.file

I like this prémisse.
After the fall of the Paris Commune in 1871 so many artisans and craftsmen were gone that the ones who remained could demand far higher prices for their services. And yet faced with these large increases in labour costs, yet the government responded by program of rebuilding. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ee07db501e8ebafa9eadcacc5228e5a350e0802cb0754ae66d4cb8a7dc037c17.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/97b18b3d5b6a6b2a6133d12637e096d1731a26b6059fc439c88d7c1e1babdaff.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/0dc9291545c75b1906b7d281c0a349c21bdf0bd6ee211c6d6f624f4f27e501af.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b33678700ef835fa95d8cee96b57035bf3c08a013adf5131fdb7b2b65d696143.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ebc49022a0a701ae9af24ea74486b149ab0a365f9fddc41a542b6bfcf35542a9.file
