So great to be in school today - felt timely to be working with a class on their fluency in addition and subtraction given the curriculum review recommendations! They were all so engaged and confident in their talk, reasoning and recall of number facts 😀

Meanwhile on Mars... The planet is covered with odd gullies that look like they were carved by running water. A cool new experiment demonstrates that they were probably carved by sliding, spitting chunks of dry ice. (Sorry, still no signs of life.) 🧪🔭 www.uu.nl/en/news/myst...

[P] Found a higher-quality photo; IT *IS* TAPED UP SHEETS OF PAPER!

You can't prove to me that's not three 8.5x11 sheets of paper taped to the wall

"your passport says you're 5'7" but you were 1'8" when you were born so that's what we're listing" this is what that sounds like

The traitors producers must be counting down the days until a contestant notices it makes no difference who they eliminate and the whole Traitor/Faithful divide is an artificial construct with very little relevance to the actual result of the show until the last episode.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

The whole "OMG a prisoner has been mistakenly released" thing is such shit. No one gave a toss till it was an asylum seeker released.Last year, 262 prisoners - five a week - were released from prisons/courts before they should have been. Zero front-page reporting. www.theguardian.com/society/2...

Big John Little John was a sitcom about a teacher who accidentally took a swig from the Fountain Of Youth and developed an unfortunate propensity to turn into a young boy at inopportune moments. So why didn't @dannykodicek.bsky.social realise it was a comedy?? timworthington.org/2025/11/05/t...

Meep meep

lol

This makes me think of when big corporations get involved in Pride or BLM - obviously it's just cynical marketing, but it does show that they think marketing in that direction is going to help them. Streeting is a dick, but if he thinks pivoting left is going to help him, that's still a good sign.

A huge step back for horse welfare in sport, as the new FEI regulations reduce their "blood rule" restrictions. Previously, any horse with blood on it was immediately eliminated from competition. Now, for jumpers it only leads to a warning.

That's murder.

This was a lot of fun as always, but much as I do love Big John Little John I'm gutted that someone else got to talk about The Adventure Game! There's a show I could genuinely wax lyrical about for hours.

New! Ste from @scarredforlife.bsky.social on Grange Hill, @sugarraybuzzard.bsky.social on The Adventure Game, @superjules84.bsky.social on The Sooty Show, @dannykodicek.bsky.social on Big John Little John and @paulwhitelaw.bsky.social on The Monkees. timworthington.org/2025/11/05/t...

zohran: i will cherish & protect nyc’s jewish community & prioritize their safety but i won’t abide israel’s treatment of palestinians jewish orgs: 😡 trump: jews are stupid ungrateful idiots who owe me for giving bibi cart blanche & persecuting palestine supporters, also i ❤️ nazis jewish orgs: 😍

Still, we have things to look forward to

Zohran Mamdani in New York Catherine Connolly in Ireland Rob Jetten in the Netherlands Plaid Cymru in Caerphilly The rise of the far right is not inevitable. If we work together, we can dare to hope.

Ah, the old favourites coming out from the Tories. Maths reduced once again to "adding up". Until politicians actually learn what maths is about and why it matters, their opinions on the subject need to be entirely ignored.

I will support any New York mayoral candidate who admits bodegas are just convenience stores and everywhere in the world has them

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

The fact we’re now offering free electricity for 3 hours a day in Australia, shows just how far renewables have come. We’ve gone from managing scarcity to managing abundance. ☀️⚡Energy isn’t the problem anymore — storage & timing are. The future grid is solar-soaked. #Renewables #EV #BESS #Solar

"Jeffrey Dahmer's legacy marked by contents of freezer"

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.

My new book NAP COMIX is available to pre-order on Kickstarter! It includes the first year's worth of comics from the webcomic, as well as LOADS of exclusive content. Please take a look here: tinyurl.com/napcomixks It's the perfect book for any new parent/experienced parent/parent-to-be! 💗

Had a terrifying thought this morning. With self-driving cars and real-time ai-generated voice chat, we have the technology to make a shit version of KITT from Knight Rider.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

happy no nut november to all who celibate

This isn’t even the first time it would happen - you can literally just go back to when Eric Adams first ran for mayor, and when he got into office, to see how the media manufactured a crime wave that helped push his pro-police agenda at the expense of every other city service.

An update on Wonders and Visions, my collaborative project with @adamroberts.bsky.social grahamsleight.com/2025/11/03/w...

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

In Great Britain, there are about 1.7 billion passenger rail journeys each year without serious incident (about 150 million a month). It's worth keeping perspective as news media discuss banning knives on trains or installing scanners at stations. dataportal.orr.gov.uk/statistics/u...

Britain is not in the grip of mass violence. The Cambridgeshire train stabbings were horrific - and incredibly rare. Your odds of being attacked by a stranger are much lower than they were. Here's the facts! 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/britain-is...

Tag yourself. I'm J.E. Dylan's 3rd division football team.

I'm about to eat a 2-day old enchilada that's been sitting in our oven. So if you don't hear from me for a while, that's why.

I'm in NI so we have one of those places that does curry, kebab, pizza, and fish suppers. Surprisingly, their curry is excellent, although they struggle with the difference between "mild" and "sweet". My order is tandoori mixed grill, lamb balti, onion bhaji and garlic mushrooms

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

Although many trans people are quite understandably saying "go fuck yourself" to this apology, it's genuinely important. Wu was one of the two or three go-to "GC trans people" that the anti-trans campaigners relied on, and so her publicly rejecting them is big news.

In December 1941, Pan Am flight 18602 was trapped the wrong side of the Pacific by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. To get home, her civilian crew would need to do the near-impossible: circumnavigate the world in commercial seaplane. In our new series, we tell tell their remarkable story.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Proud to be finally able to share the secret project I’ve been involved with The Marvellous Miniature Workshop is coming soon to BBC One and BBC iPlayer : @bbciplayer  #TheMarvellousMiniatureWorkshop #SaraCox #iPlayer

A sweet! HOW DARE THEY.

Citing a Trump executive order banning "gender ideology," the VA is withholding coverage and treatment for male veterans with breast cancer, an increasing condition among veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during service. 100 male veterans a year are diagnosed with breast cancer.

🧵I've posted them before, but here's my thread of horror/kids' TV double-bill cinema posters. Happy Halloween... #halloween #cinema #graphicdesign #poster

This shit too. People just want everyday stuff to work, including the police. If everyday stuff is sorted, there's less room for the fascists to manoeuvre. www.londoncentric.media/p/london-pho...

"Median age" is an odd thing to measure because it conflates so many different factors. FWIW, Japan has a high median age both because it has one of the highest life expectancies in the world and one of the lowest birth rates.

this is the "every accusation is a confession" principle but backwards. conservatives and progressives both project themselves onto their opponents with the result that cons keep accusing ppl of vile shit while the progs desperately try to find the good in cons
