A human can only survive 2-7 days without clean water, whereas we can survive in perpetuity without datacenters. Choose wisely.

If you can’t resist picking up a pebble or a perfect shell at the beach this photo is for you. There are 7 scallops (the shell Botticelli’s Venus was standing in) to find among the treasure:

Anyone else receive a letter from HMRC today, saying they’ve finalised your child tax credits from 2005-2006 and owe you zero money? Yes … twenty years ago. Wow.

I LOVE that Year 6 pupils in the UK are to be given a book for Christmas as part of the National Year of Reading, but it’s also important to acknowledge that a national cohort of 10/11 year olds are not going to want to read the same book. Reading for pleasure also requires the ability to choose.

In this wild news cycle, it feels like one of Farage’s claims has got lost. If a mob of 50 people attacked him in a pub then wrote off his car, surely there’s photo or video evidence, or a police report or something? Why did this not make the news? Investigative journalists please do your thing!

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Worth remembering that Terence Stamp was the son of a ship's stoker. Stamp desperately wanted to act, after falling in love with movies as a kid, and it was a scholarship to Drama School that allowed him to walk that path. Every time arts cuts are made, they rob us of more Terence Stamps.
