#OnThisDay in 1970, the first Glastonbury festival was held in Somerset. The event was organised by a farmer named Michael Eavis and headlined by Tyrannosaurus Rex. Tickets cost £1 and included free milk from the farm. 📸 Getty

Rick Rescorla. Every American should know his name. He single-handedly saved almost 10,000 lives that day, while sacrificing his own trying to save even one more.

I was curious how many people were in the twin towers when the planes hit: about 17,400. a death toll of ~2800 from the towers now seems absolutely miraculous. this was due to the efforts of FDNY, NYPD, and some extraordinary everyday people.

Just saw an advert for an advent calendar for dogs! It’s September ffs. Your dog should be concentrating on Halloween and Remembrance Sunday before they even think about Xmas.

It's cream first. Otherwise you are just creating beige food with the vibrancy of the jam hidden under the cream bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crl7…

The correct way to eat cream teas divides Devon and Cornwall, but they remain popular.

This has the potential to be disastrous for lower league clubs, which rely on ticket revenues in a way that Premier League ones don’t.

⚽️ The 3pm blackout has had its day. It’s time to back fans and football. I’ve written to the Prime Minister. @andyburnham’s been standing up for fans against corporate giants, opposing Infantino’s plan to sell off the World Cup. 🍒 P.S. UTCIAD! I hope we smash Everton today!
