This Baby Seal With Huge Eyes Will Ruin You
These pictures get our seal of approval.
Have you ever seen a seal take a selfie like this... and with their eyebrows so on point?
This is actually the moment a cheeky elephant seal pup posed only 30 centimetres away from photographer Inger Vandyke and her camera.
Inger Vandyke / Caters News Agency
Vandyke took the picture on Sandy Beach, Macquarie Island - one of Australias Sub-Antarctic territories. It was her first encounter with an elephant seal.
"Prior to that I had experienced many trips with fur seals so initially I was a little frightened when that elephant seal approached me. I soon learned they are harmless though and that the selfie seal was probably curious and just wanting to get warm by being close to me", Vandyke told BuzzFeed News.
Richard Baxter / Caters News
"When this baby seal approached me my initial fear wore off really quickly when the guide standing nearby said he was ok. The seal then gently nudged me like a cat wanting affection. It was an incredible encounter and one that I never wanted to end."
Merrilyn Browne / CATERS NEWS
Elephant seals are the world’s largest and deepest diving seals. They have huge eyes to help them see in depths of 1500 metres or more in the ocean when they dive to hunt for food. "Their eyes make them appear adorable", Vandyke says.
We couldn't agree more <3

13 Lies Your Depression Is Telling You
Depression fills your head with unreliable thoughts, and sometimes you have to fight back.
"You will never get better."
When you’re in the darkest hole of depression, it feels like there's no way out. You see photos of your non-depressed self and it seems as though it's an entirely different person and that you'll never get there again.
Thing is, you will: Your depression won't last forever. You might not become the same person in the photo, you might be a little bit different, but you'll absorb and process your experiences, no matter how shitty they are, and eventually you'll heal.

Britain's Oldest Gay Pub Has Become The First To Be Granted Listed Status
The Royal Vauxhall Tavern has been saved from development and given a Grade II listing in a victory for activists and supporters including Sir Ian McKellen. “You can’t mess with Gandalf!”
Campaigners are celebrating after Britain's oldest gay venue has become the first in the country to be given Grade II-listed status for its contribution to LGBT history.
RVT Future / Via rvt.community
South London's Royal Vauxhall Tavern, which has been hosting LGBT performers and customers since the 1940s, and where Freddie Mercury once smuggled Princess Diana inside in male drag, has been awarded the status by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on the advice of Historic England.
The Tavern's famous kidney-shaped bar, its curved Victorian front, and its totemic position in queer nightlife as a haven for drag and alternative performance have been secured.
The landmark decision came as a result of a high-profile campaign over the last year to protect the venue from attempts to sell or redevelop it. Paul O'Grady, who made his name there in 1980s as his alter ego Lily Savage, Graham Norton, and Lord of the Rings star Sir Ian McKellen have all supported the campaign.
The rescue bid, RVT Future, was set up after the pub was sold in 2014 to Immovate, a property development company based in Austria. Campaigners claim Immovate attempted to block the application for listing status and "declined to meet the RVT community or reveal its plans for sale".
The Sun reports on Princess Diana's visit.

The historic ruling comes just 10 weeks after New York's Stonewall Inn, site of the Stonewall riots that sparked the modern LGBT rights movement in 1969, was granted landmark status – meaning that it too is protected from development or demolition.
In a statement, Tracey Crouch, heritage minister, said: "I am thrilled to be able to list the Royal Vauxhall Tavern as Grade II – the iconic hub in the heart of London is of huge significance to the LGB&T community. Not only of architectural interest, the venue has a longstanding historic role as a symbol of tolerance and alternative entertainment."
She added: "I am delighted the listing will preserve the history of this venue for future generations to enjoy – I hope that it continues to be filled with laughter and joy."

McDonald's Will Shift To Cage-Free Eggs By 2025
The Golden Arches plans to give its chickens in North America some more space to roam around, in a transition that will happen over the next decade.
A cage-free chicken farm.
The Humane Society of the U.S.
As it tries to reinvent itself as a "modern, progressive" fast food company, McDonald's will switch to cage-free eggs in the U.S. and Canada over the next 10 years.
The decision will affect the roughly 2 billion eggs the fast food chain buys in the U.S. annually, a number that is likely to grow as McDonald's begins serving more egg sandwiches as part of its all-day breakfast launch starting Oct. 6.
McDonald's has been buying some cage-free eggs since 2011, and already purchases more than 13 million cage-free eggs in the U.S. each year. But that is still less than 1% of the chain's domestic egg needs. It began talking to suppliers about going cage-free in the U.S. and Canada earlier this year.
"Cage-free" hens can roam freely through an open indoor barn, or a section of a barn, with multiple tiers. "There are no set times because they are always free to roam," said McDonald's spokeswoman Becca Harry in an email. In a cage-free environment, the hens are also debeaked, which means part of their beaks are removed in the first few days of life, as hens may peck at or cannibalize each other.
McDonald's suppliers follow United Egg Producers guidelines, which say cage-free birds must be uncaged, but may be kept indoors at all times, and that each hen must have at least 144 square inches of floor space. Caged hens typically get just 67 square inches of space per bird.
McDonald's egg suppliers are currently at about 72 square inches, said Marion Gross, senior vice president and chief supply chain officer of McDonald's North America. Each cage-free egg costs roughly a penny more to produce than a conventional egg, according to the Humane Society of the United States, but McDonald's said it is not planning any menu price increases tied to this announcement.
Cage-free "doesn't mean 'cruelty-free' but it's a real improvement," said Paul Shapiro, vice president of farm animal protection at the Humane Society. "The birds can walk, spread their wings, perch, lay their eggs in nest, and engage in other natural behaviors."
Roughly 3.2% of hens in the U.S., or about 9.6 million hens, were cage-free as of March, according to United Egg Producers, and an additional 3.2% were organic, which also has cage-free requirements.
In addition to "cage-free," there are other animal welfare standards for hens. According to the Humane Society, "free-range," "pasture raised," and "organic" labels on eggs mean the hens are granted outdoor access — unlike their "cage-free" counterparts — although their beaks may also be trimmed.
McDonald's joins a growing list of companies that are switching to cage-free eggs. In 2012, Burger King committed to using 100% cage-free eggs and pork by 2017; Hellmann's Mayonnaise maker Unilever set a goal for 2020; and the large food service companies Aramark, Sodexo, and Compass Group made cage-free commitments by 2019 or 2020 as well. This summer, General Mills also said it would stop buying eggs from caged hens in the U.S., although it did not provide a timeline.
A decade is a long time for McDonald's to make the switch, but "we're a big supply chain," said Marion Gross. "It's not something that can be done overnight."

Facing years of disappointing domestic sales that have forced it to close restaurants, McDonald's has been working to improve consumer perception of its food as part of its turnaround plan. The effort to change perceptions includes sourcing chicken raised without antibiotics that are important to human medicine by 2017, and serving milk from cows raised without artificial growth hormones this year. It also switched from using margarine, which has become less popular, to butter on bread for breakfast.
Competitors such as Chipotle have launched successful marketing campaigns around their ingredients and animal welfare standards. McDonald's has been making more announcements about its ingredients standards since its new CEO Steve Easterbrook stepped in this past March.
Last year, McDonald's launched a food transparency campaign called Our Food. Your Questions in which it answers frequently asked questions.Those questions included "have you ever used so-called 'pink slime' in your burgers?" (The company responded, "Yes, we used Lean Finely Textured Beef between 2004 and 2011. We do not use this today.") Another question: Do you use real chicken in your Chicken McNuggets?" ("Absolutely we do.") The company said some consumers have also inquired about McDonald's egg standards.
"We're trying to respond to what our consumers' expectations are today of us and their food supply," said Gross. "Consumers are changing. It's about how we evolve to meet those changing customer expectations. We can't remain static and remain relevant to customers."

New Investigation Exposes Glam Life Of Vladimir Putin's Bling Ring
Women across the Russian political spectrum own watches, jewels, and other finery at disproportionate cost to their declared income, anti-corruption activists working for the opposition leader Alexey Navalny found.
Russian politicians' taste for the finer things in life — often well in excess of their official income — has been in the news lately after Dmitry Peskov, President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, was spotted wearing this $620,000 watch.
Having more bling than you know what to do with, or how to hide, has long been a problem for Russia's ruling elite. In 2012, an opposition group published a video detailing Putin's apparent $700,000 watch collection.
That same year, the Russian Orthodox Church even photoshopped its patriarch's $35,000 Breguet watch out of a picture — but compounded the embarrassment by forgetting to remove its reflection from the table.

After the scandal over Peskov's watch, opposition leader Alexei Navalny turned his attention to other Russian politicians wearing finery beyond their apparent means.

For Anyone Who Had A Crush On Sheik From "Zelda"
*whispers* Take me with you on a quest.
When you first saw Sheik — either in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Super Smash Bros. — you were probably like, "Who's this androgynous ninja I have sex feelings for, despite the fact that it's a cartoon?"
I mean, look at those legs.
Nintendo
In Ocarina of Time it's revealed that Sheik is the alter ego of Princess Zelda, who dresses up as a male Sheikah to avoid being captured by the evil Ganondorf.
By way of a hint, the game states that, "contrary to her elegant image, Princess Zelda of Hyrule Castle is, in fact, a tomboy!" [Swoon.]
Nintendo
Thus, in addition to being an obvious mega-babe, Sheik is also a major badass.
We all know that Link's ass would have been grass without her.

She's also got these 90s-era curtains of short blond hair you just want to run your hands through.
