Leaving the house this morning on my way to LocalGov Ai UnConf, and my daughter* says, "Are you going dressed like that? Am I allowed to say you look like a lesbian?" 'Fit win for me... *Age 38

Pets are the new children, plants are the new pets, towels are the new ironing board.

Imagine if real, clever people wrote the scripts instead of lazy ai-mongers writing the prompt, which might work today, but it'll be confused af tomorrow. In my experience.

The other day, the ai that I've been paying for for months called me Kate. "No problem, Kate. We’ll pick this up later." Remind me not to go to prison in the UK. Fortunately, the 'school to care to prison pipeline' will be protected* with Ai expectations all the way... *And privatised?¿

The problem with sports is that it's all about winning. 🦤

Hmm, thinks in ???

Dear @bsky.app please can you insist that people add good alt text to their images so that I don't have to keep blocking accounts which post images on subjects I have blocked. Thank you.

Josh is a stand up guy...

Let me know when you need a WCAG conformant website. Hint: Now. You need it now.

I've tasked my brother with making sure our mum is registered to vote. She lives in Clacton, and likely didn't vote when Farage was elected. She either votes for the Bin, or she can get in the sea...

2026 equipment of the Molotov cocktail

It's not called cognition because your head's full of cogs ⚙️⚙️⚙️

For the ppl saying that women are liars cause they only speak up when a man is running for office, consider that most victims are just happy to escape and our peace is more important to us than “justice” but if our abusers were about to gain power, we’d feel morally obliged to say something

So, erm, James Bond then 🤷

Ok people, how did you learn to code and use the terminal and all that git stuff?

I spent large chunks of the last couple of days trying to "learn" basic dev ops to build a site locally, do git, and update the live site. I was using Ai to tutor me. It was only when I suddenly clicked that we didn't have a database for the content that we made any progress. Ai knows nothing.

“They will also study how knowledge of religious and non-religious perspectives and ways of life supports tolerance and respect for others." Will they be taught how religion has been used to persecute science, individuals, other faiths from the beginning of organised religion to the present day?

This week, the National Research Study: Identifying Best Practice Across #AlternativeProvision begins with online focus groups with school leaders on Thursday. 📢 If you like to be part of the focus groups or the research - exploring best practice contact [email protected]

No 10 of the North, anyone?

Quite right. It's not in the National Curriculum, and teachers already have the slides for their lessons provided by the school.

Something something Molotov cocktail...

For all those teachers who are thinking of taking up writing...

Nice that Mistral's LeChat (now "Vibe", sigh) is worried about me 45 years later... (I'm using Vibe to edit the HTML of my poems)

One of the things I appreciate most about @processwire.bsky.social is that the docs are well written, understandable (more or less), don't make me angry with all sorts of assumptions about my knowledge...

Today's PHP success... Setting up git @forgejo.bsky.social on @pikapods.bsky.social to make a backup and version control on my @processwire.bsky.social code. Next task, staging and pushing (or pulling🤷) to @krystal.io

So cheaper than fixing up Parliament (just the buildings, not the occupants)

I still feel a bit sick when I go to my LeChat account and see they've renamed it "Vibe". I don't want to fucking Vibe. I'm 61 years old. Also, when will the cute cat disappear? I fucking hate "Bros". Even (especially?) French Bros.

What does a "re-industrialised Britain" look like?

Apparently @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social isn't the only person to write a book about 1983...

The notion that if you're working class you don't earn enough to pay for school lunches for your kids is such an indictment on capitalism... Maybe working class now means juggling 3 zero hours / gig economy jobs...

"Teach First historically focused on high-achieving graduates who wanted to “teach first”, before going into other careers." Lol. And you wonder why there's a retention crisis in teaching?¿¡!

And after that you'll be just in time to start the after party on the beach...

How do you think these guys ended up in a wheelchair in the first place 🤣🤣🤣

If your philosophy of education is passing exams, then lessons *are* revision... ???

Trying to figure out a tidy acronym for this... TlCfFvR isn't going to fly...

Full of cons, but no actual solutions, so🤷

Yet more evidence that "debate" is not Oracy, especially the nonsense that goes on in parliament

@phpc.social I'm looking for a site I discovered a while back for learning PHP. Written by an individual, it explained the Why of PHP, building on HTML, kind of like progressive enhancement. Simple, black and white design, I think. Any ideas?

I'm thoroughly enjoying using @stephango.com's Flexoki theme and @una.im's modern CSS theming post in @neocities.org for my personal site. Thanks everyone for making my nonsense beautiful! (Not sure I'm going to be able to stay on neocities, cos I think I'm gonna need a CMS... )

Presumably male staff are cross on Principal. (Also, why do new staff only stay 5 years in the profession?)

@cmooreanderson.bsky.social you'll enjoy this a little, I think...

Leadership is literally nothing but the narrative. What's the story here? I'd like to think the PM "elect" would be ready to change the story on disability, SEND, immigration, billionaires, Europe, transport (he's got form on that, so 🤷) But I doubt it.

The notion that school teachers still wear ties is remarkable. The % of men who wear a tie at work is around 13% if I remember right.

Can anyone recommend a car park for folks driving down the M1 to London for the mass lobby? I’d prefer to not drive into London proper, and want to park and ride on Thameslink or the Tube. Really want something where we free spaces are reasonably likely, and not run by a scummy car park company.

The lidos are opening up all over Europe... ...and parents are finishing work at 3pm.

Ask your doctor about how trees talk to each other through a network of underground fungi today.

What a fantastic review of my book Teaching Meaning! Thank you :D
