I volunteered for Childline for a decade at uni and I know firsthand a snapshot of how many lives Esther Rantzen changed. Her later years were known for assisted dying but her legacy will be giving vulnerable children someone to listen to and care. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

When you die, please don't take your organs with you. They will be of NO use to you. Please sign the back of your driver's license and be an organ donor. This is the highest form of "charity" because the recipient can do nothing for you except be grateful for your selfless gift.

Trump recently said that he didn’t promise not to start new wars. Obviously, that’s a lie. Good thing we have video recordings of this.

I think the phrase "under Reform UK" is spurious, because there's absolutely nothing beneath Reform UK.

Oh God no. Nora Charles is sharp as Occam's Razor. Hastings is decent, true, and dim as a parish-house bulb.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

To every reporter who stands there as Trump shouts down one of your (almost always female) colleagues with insults and bullying behavior without standing up for them -- you know the rest of us can see and hear you, right?

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Tonight's guys doing a perfect impersonation of Lynyrd Skynyrd are reminding me of the NME description of their product as "sounding like a dustbin full of broken glass and washing-machine parts falling down a steel staircase".

Before losing her life in 1986 aboard Space Shuttle Challenger, Christa McAuliffe was set to be the first teacher in space with plans to teach a lesson to kids around the world from orbit. Today is her birthday, and even now, her courage and dedication to education continues to inspire.
