Sharks are the ultimate predators of the aquatic realm thanks to one character in particular – teeth. Not only are shark’s teeth razor sharp but they are also constantly regrown throughout life, gradually replaced like a conveyor belt of rows of teeth, and not just when they are worn down or fall out.

It turns out there’s a line that even Donald Trump can’t cross with impunity.

In the course of the most bizarre 14 months in modern American political history, Trump has mocked a disabled reporter, insinuated that Mexican immigrants are rapists and murderers, suggested that an American-born judge with Mexican ancestry is professionally biased because of his ethnic heritage, implied that a female reporter was aggressively questioning him because of her menstrual cycle, and consistently shown that he lacks even the most basic understanding of critical issues in global affairs.

Imagine you woke up to discover a massive cyber attack on your country. All government data has been destroyed, taking out healthcare records, birth certificates, social care records and so much more. The transport system isn’t working, traffic lights are blank, immigration is in chaos and all tax records have disappeared. The internet has been reduced to an error message and daily life as you know it has halted.

It’s hard to pinpoint the exact time in history when genre labels were used to classify music, but the fact is that over the past century, and certainly still today, genre labels dominate. Whether organising your iTunes library, receiving music recommendations from apps like Spotify, or buying CDs at a record store, genre is the first way in which we navigate the music we like.

Musical genres are out of date – but this explains why you might like both jazz and hip hop

World Breastfeeding Week was designed to promote, protect and encourage breastfeeding. To celebrate the marvel of women nourishing a whole new tiny person. To highlight why we need to invest in our new mothers, babies and the future.

Yet for many mums, this week sends a chill straight through their core. It makes them want to shout and throw things because breastfeeding certainly isn’t something to celebrate for them

Traumatic breastfeeding experiences are the reason we must continue to promote it

What is the relevance of anarchism today? Should we see a reinvigoration of anarchist tropes and themes or movements – such as Occupy, the Spanish Indignados and most recently Nuit debout in France – as a sign that anarchism is about to enjoy a resurgence?
