As people get postal votes for the Scot Parl election please be careful of the spoiler operation which is 'Independent Green Voice'. They are listed second on the regional ballot paper in South of Scotland with the real Green Party further down. IGV is a right-wing spoiler operation.
Beautiful story of a man bonding with a robin.
Title: Hunting for Easter eggs with Werner Herzog Panel one: Werner goes out looking for eggs saying “I despise this idiotic sanitized ritual, and yet I am unwilling to return home eggless” Panel two: Werner stands before an egg on the ground “The joy of discovery rings hollow against the monumental indifference of the universe” Panel three: Werner carries an egg “what, other than regret, can hatch from this empty chocolate vessel”
Happy Easter!
Really sad news to hear about Jesus Christ. Interviewed him once for our BBC Leeds show. Did a lot of good work in the community and was a nice guy. Gone too soon #RIP
This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Play is the work of children. It’s how they process the world around them and practice adult skills.
In the photo below, children in Gaza are reenacting a funeral procession in play.
(The photo is a screenshot I took from an even more heartbreaking video via AlJazeera.)
"One of the most heartbreaking examples of nonverbal communication to emerge from Iran.

What an amazing and inspiring story! When the world is being destroyed by swaggering macho men drunk on power and greed, this is what it means to be a man. Not just incredibly brave but kind and empathetic too. Isn't this the humanity we should all aim for?

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

I love this so much
What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
Damn, even Sesame Street is scoring off me
Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.
"... the next day, when the taps came back on, the water sputtered, but it was still glorious — the famously fresh “cooncil juice” brought to Glasgow from Loch Katrine up in the Trossachs.
