A small cup of tea is 568ml. Anything less than that is only fit for a dolly's tea party. Adults need proper hydration.

If this driver hadn't managed to plead hardship when facing a ban for phone use, then he may not have later killed someone when using phone whilst driving.
Clearly a habit.
I hope the magistrate/judge who gave him leniency thinks long & hard about their decision

I remember exactly one quote from my driving instructor when I was taking driver's ed, and that was "children aren't careless, they're carefree", and we as drivers had a responsibility to let them remain that way.

5. Minced meat is meat, but mincemeat isn’t. Nor are sweetmeats, though sweetbreads are. Buffalo wings are an obvious attempt to mess with our heads. Shepherd’s pie, or so the printed ingredients claim, contains no shepherd. And don’t get me started on jelly babies. 5/6

4. If legislators are to insist on food literalism, they should at least be consistent. There's no dinosaur in turkey dinosaurs (and not much turkey). If a vegan hotdog is ruled out on the grounds that it contains no meat, the meat version should also be ruled out, as it contains no dog. 4/6

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

One of the biggest mistakes politicians are making is not to be as outraged by attacks on trans girls as cis girls. They're girls not "LGBT+ people". GIRLS.

2. Rapid transition to sustainable energy sources.
3. Transformation of food systems, industry & air travel.

On average, it takes 34 cargo bikes to handle the capacity of one truck.
Replacing 1 truck with 34 cargo bikes sounds inefficient until you watch them work in a city. The truck is a blunt instrument trying to do precision work.

This is a lovely compilation of wolves in the Veluwe.
A few years ago Dutch wolves were practically non-existent; now there are wild packs in more than a dozen locations, with nearly 50 cubs born this spring alone.
Everyone seems to be annoyed about it but I think it’s wonderful
