Just watched a video on propagating cherry seeds and they don’t stay true to type so I could go four years growing trees from seeds only to find they’re all sour anyway. wtf?! The guy in the video suggested growing several - he had six seeds and only 2 survived. What kind of…

Andy might not be able to mess with the big thermostat, but you what he can do? Absolutely hammer the water companies for their exorbitance. We are in drought, we don’t have adequate reservoirs, we have pipes leaking everywhere and the bosses are taking huge, huge bonuses.

Very weird to be living for weeks through what has so far been the worst UK drought since records began and for the Prime Minister to have still said absolutely nothing about it

I’ll always remember when a prominent right wing comedian tweeted (paraphrase) “we know that harsher prison conditions are unhelpful in preventing crime, but we don’t care”. Rare to see it admitted like that

I'm hearing if we treat people with a touch of humanity & don't bang them up for 22 out of 24hrs they don't develop pent up rage & aggression & the need to self-harm or lash out on others to channel all that violence that's been cultivated in them. More as we get it

The motto of the unit, which is based on prisons in Sweden and Norway, is: "Building better neighbours." There are choir sessions, dance classes, a reading group and a weekly tea party where inmates and officers discuss their concerns. Prisoners are out of their cells for up to nine hours a day, compared with two in the rest of the jail.

Saw an article about how the govt want primary schools to identify future NEETs, and I just want to point the history of what happens when you label kids in school. There is a lot of research into why you don’t do it (it fails).
