My tweets Thu, 12:56 : The EU’s €140M ‘zombie committee’ faces pressure to reform https://t.co/UC3jBk5P4P Why does the EESC still exist? Other EU institutions are very diligent about outreach to stakeholders these days. Thu, 14:25 : The first five Amber books, by Roger Zelazny I enjoyed re-reading the books. There are so many great descriptive passages and succinct one-liners. There are flaws, but I am reading for entertainment. #nwbooks https://t.co/dwtMoLinK6 https://t.co/Ew4dkeZ1AR https://t.co/6BdxfhLhOr Thu, 15:25 : The Life and Death of King John, by William Shakespeare It's a somewhat weird meditation on the political process. While the Bastard is the author's creation, it is not at all clear that he is the author's mouthpiece. #nwbooks https://t.co/8HzAgDUfQF https://t.co/s6u2wl29ju https://t.co/ZwfUiwe28v Thu, 16:05 : Because of coronavirus, Europe is drowning in second-hand clothes https://t.co/QAq8iOR2wJ A consequence I really had not thought about. Thu, 16:25 : The Blue Lotus by Herg� The Blue Lotus really is the first proper Tintin book. Herg� takes Tintin to the real 1931 Japanese invasion of China, and is firmly and passionately on the side of the Chinese. #nwbooks https://t.co/7VB0DdLhjk https://t.co/lUiHpT0GFb https://t.co/x6C83YTYKI Thu, 17:11 : UK-Kenya deal triggers East African trade tensions https://t.co/VyTlYEP6VX The logic of Brexit: disrupt and undermine regional economic integration elsewhere. Thu, 17:25 : Wool, by Hugh Howey A future where what's left of humanity is trapped in cramped underground silos. One young woman finds herself with a mission to overturn the existing order. I really enjoyed it . #nwbooks https://t.co/Yko6zGThBN https://t.co/iizTXvlJ85 https://t.co/JpeyMqfwhk Thu, 18:46 : Thursday reading https://t.co/2DFv52kbgS Thu, 19:42 : RT @bbcdoctorwho : Regeneration is always a tricky business! It's exactly 54 years ago today since the very first one 🔥 https://t.co/GrDXPlr … Thu, 20:48 : Destination Moon: Europe’s astronauts ink NASA deal https://t.co/fuhhghLIfA Putting down a (European) marker.
