ICYMI — thousands protested ICE in MINNEAPOLIS…

The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.

Jo Cox was murdered before the vote by a far-right terrorist & this is the language this complete disgrace chooses to use

Sincerely one of the funniest things the WSJ has ever written or done. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anth...

Great thread I hope to all things holy that they eat one another with this in fighting

“They’re denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they’re denying the authenticity of them. It is something I’ve never encountered.” www.huffpost.com/entry/us-cit...

Think I might need to cut back on the coffee next year… also might ask if I can have a prize!

Really interesting thread. Have observed this phenomenon as a southern teacher in Yorkshire but also, more depressingly, when working with trainee teachers who find they have many of these issues of pupils / parents / teachers saying they don’t understand them.

So delighted to have this arrive today. Such an important book for #historyteacher s wanting to do justice to teaching about Britain’s colonial past! Katie, Nicholas, @justice2history.bsky.social & @abdulmohamud.bsky.social do an amazing job of bringing research and pedagogy together.

Kemi Badenoch & shadow home office minister Katie Lam have been accused of weaponising violence against women. Tory leader said focus should be on “people, who come from cultures that don’t respect women, coming into our country”. Lam used speech to ask if immigration was exacerbating the problem.

How is anyone taking this man and his administration seriously. He honestly make Stalin look both humble and sane, and by comparison, even Brezhnev appears honest!

“There is dust on your chairs.” “Tomorrow,” said Toad. “Your windows need scrubbing,” said Frog. “Your plants need watering.” “Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”

honestly I think we specifically need to ban chatbots for this specific generation of extremely wealthy elderly academics

Amazing ECT highlights here… including some crown wearing to make @iandawson51.bsky.social proud

The @goodlawproject.bsky.social continues to warn that excluding Trans+ people could violate European law - and may even constitute a criminal offence www.wearequeeraf.com/organisation...

Do not let them hide what is going on!

Oh joy… AI is now shifting reality to bring its hallucinations to life

WTF are we doing here, BBC?

Labour's policy of denying citizenship to refugees based on manner of entry is arguably in breach of both Articles 31 and 34 of the Refugee Convention, fundamentally underming the very principle of international refugee protection. It needs scrapping entirely. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Why is this stuff not higher in uk news?! We cannot keep ignoring what is happening… nor the fact that a whole bunch of people want this for the UK too

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too: "There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done." All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

Elon Musk is a global enemy to democracy.

Nobody voted for any of this shit, you understand, just as they didn’t vote for the relentless crackdowns or PFI or more new peers. We are getting this regardless, because this stuff is what *our horrific political/media class* wants, and they treat democracy as their license to do as they please.

Parents & teachers should know that I-Ready lessons are NOT mandated, no matter what your principal may be telling you. And there is NO independent research to support the educational value of this app.

One of my favourites!

this shit is just beyond parody, man

OTD in 1916 at approximately 10:27pm, an explosion rocked a munitions factory in ‘the north of England’ killing 35 women and girls A tragedy to those in Leeds and surrounding areas, the explosion at N.F.F.1 Barnbow was a result of working in the production of high explosives 🧵1/3

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

It absolutely is eugenics. THATS EXACTLY WHAT EUGENICS WAS. And the fact that this dipshit Sadeghi is talking about IQ points is even more evidence he is a eugenicist. Can we stop with physicians and techbros pretending things aren't eugenics when its blatantly eugenics?

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Discovered Frog and Toad a few years ago when we bought a compendium for my then 3yo. Very old books but if you have not found them yet - get yourself a treat this Christmas

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
