I want to hear an absolutely ferocious old skool techno/jungle track - insane bass, police sirens, the lot - which suddenly drops out, and a voice says, with incredible portent, "SEVEN BINS." Then it all kicks back in again.
Parrots are clearly intelligent enough to understand video UIs

Vote Conservative for 11p off your pint at the pub…
But lots more pence on your wine, gin, vodka & canned beer
And £100s more on your monthly food shop
And £1000s more on your energy bills
And £10,000s more on your mortgage or rent
It’s a no brainer
…literally.

Another cultural earthquake. Iranian female basketball team removed their hijab and posted their unveiled photo on Instagram to protest against the main pillar of a gender apartheid regime.

Margaret Fay Shaw was born in Pittsburgh in 1903, and after being orphaned at an early age she was sent to Scotland in 1921. She settled in South Uist in 1928, and began manually transcribing folk songs, learning the Gaelic language and documenting the island.
Here's to her ❤
Thirty years ago today, children from Scotland, Norway, Denmark and Germany came together and the first idea for Children's Parliament was born!

@sazdrummond @dignityindying Sarah, this is heartbreaking and something no family should have to go through. The choice should be there when the time comes x
