Remember when Google had that "I feel lucky" button that would choose a search result for you, but they removed it because no one used it? Few people trusted Google itself to know the answers.

People will mock this. But something to note:
When Remembrance Day was introduced, this is EXACTLY what many British WW1 veterans did on it.
They would meet up with old friends and colleagues from their units. Talk. Laugh. Cry. Toast those not there and get joyously, and utterly shitfaced. /1

journalism is dying for economic, technological, and cultural reasons, but most of all it's dying because the bad guys can't even be bothered to hide their dastardly deeds anymore, because nothing happens when they are revealed

European Robin (Erithacus rubecula): The "Robin Redbreast" was given its nickname long before a distinction was made in the English language between "Red" & "Orange". Superb photo taken by Martina Olivia of this fluffy Robin taken in the UK. #robin #europeanrobin #robinredbreast #vird #birds #nature
