there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Love is in the air at Edinburgh zoo. Pebbling marks the start of the breeding season for Gentoo penguins.

Kids at Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity painted pebbles for the penguins to choose from and present to their mates.

A small knitted reddish brown donkey with a white muzzle. It is a side view, but the head is turned to the camera. It is wearing a red green and gold blanket. The donkey is about 3 inches tall.

The cover of Pablo Honey, Radiohead's first album. In the centre is a baby's face in black and white (looking a bit sulky). It is surrounded by round sweets covered in multi coloured sugar pellets. The background is a white flower with a yellow centre.

Five pure white ducks. Three in the water of a little pond and two are on the rocky land. You can't tell from the picture, but these ducks are friendly and inquisitive and would come over and say hello to people as they pass by.

Some very friendly ducks for your friend. I am so sorry for your loss.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: β€œHe might have thought β€˜how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said β€˜this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

You could film at least 50% of the Buxton scenes on a snowy day this year and they would look exactly the same.

The far right obsession with London is vital in their playbook. People who don’t live there are told constantly it’s a crime ridden hell hole with no go areas. It’s just not true on every measure - it’s a hugely successful and multicultural city, and that’s why they hate it.

Which brings us to the House of Lords Digital Committee, which is looking at the government’s brilliant idea of giving away everyone’s copyright to American artificial intelligence giants, in return for a bag of magic beans that can only be seen by the very wisest ministers. A consultation on this last year found it was supported by just three percent of respondents, which must be some kind of record. That’s even smaller than the number of people who believe that the Loch Ness monster is real, or that Keir Starmer is doing a good job.

On Tuesday, the committee was treated to a joint appearance from Technology Secretary Liz Kendall and Claims-To-Be-Culture-Secretary Lisa Nandy. Two secretaries of state at once! Or one-and-a-half, anyway. β€œI don’t think our secretaries of state need much introduction,” Committee Chair Baroness Keeley said. Other opinions are available. 

They had come, it turned out, not to defend their own proposals, but to bury them. β€œWe are having a genuine reset mom

Artificial Unintelligence: the government is in full retreat over copyright, and the attempts to make it look dignified only make it funnier. My SKETCH.

50 Reasons Why Everyone Should Want More Walkable Streets From making you live longer to making cities more resilient: If you want a reason to make your city more walkable, it's in here.

β€œSomeone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

Three ducks in a pond in the foreground. One is dark brown and of average size, another is pure white and pretty big for a duck. The third is the King of ducks - of tremendous size. Three tufted ducks swimming in the background.

Image depicts the following, which is the text transcription. It's very cute! "Lemon Piglet (11) For good luck in the New Year, a lemon piglet is a must! Insert four toothpicks into a lemon for legs. Slit pointed end for mouth to hold shiny penny, and two cuts for the ears. Eyes are cloves.  Crush and curl foil for silly tail."
