He's also my second favourite cameo on The West Wing and first favourite cameo on Alpha House.

Wednesday's TGT remembers Rob Grant who died last week. Discuss comedy writing, working partnerships or just bask in the silly of some Red Dwarf clips. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Being a "warm demander" is a main drive for us this year, and this fits in perfectly ...

OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts! Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds But first up, can we acknowledge just what bad losers Reform are?!🤣 Right, let's get started... 🧵 1/

Monday's TGT up and it's a St David's Day Special with 20th anniversary of The Senedd in Cardiff. Discuss public architecture and sustainability or discuss the importance of public, open democracy. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Look at the face! 😍 I was thrilled to get this shot of a gorgeous Red Kite today near Steart Marshes in Somerset! 😀 It was holding the flesh of some creature in its talons and was eating it as it flew right over my head! 😮 Zoom in and just Look at the face! 😍🐦 #birds 🪶

I know a lot of people think Microsoft Excel is a dreadful piece of software, but I would rate it October 10th.

The incompetence of the current “administration” is a wonder to behold. “One federal agency reportedly shot down another federal agency’s drone. “Then the FAA closes airspace. “That is a mess. However they explain it later, right now it looks ugly.”

Not just a loser. But a bad loser.

AMAZING!

But seriously. We are back! Next week we start shooting #bbcghosts the movie! Huge excitement in the camp, lots of splendid people joining us.

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

The comments 😂

Friday's TGT celebrates the 30th birthday of the highest grossing media franchise of all time, Pokémon. It's taken nearly $150bn. The first game utilised GameBoy's rarely used correction cable to collaborate and trade with other players. You had to catch 'em all. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

TGT on Thursday discusses The Grand National. One of the most famous horse races in the world. Important cultural capital for sure, but a controversy too in the danger for horses (and riders). Discuss the history and controversy with your tutees tomorrow. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

On Wednesday's TGT introduce your students to Myra Hess, the pianist who organised more than 1700 free concerts at the otherwise empty National Gallery during WWII. People often queued around the block to attend. Discuss this with your tutees tomorrow. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

On Tuesday's TGT introduce your students to the life of Rev Jesse Jackson who passed away last week. I remember vividly the pictures of him in the crowd awaiting Obama's victory speech in Nov 2007, what must have been going this his mind? Show your tutees and ask them. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

It had to be said until everyone realizes it. The President of the United States is literally INSANE.

Classless.

*30%* ffs. I wonder what that figure would be by now if our media weren’t still almost exclusively populated by intellectually indolent wankers too pompous to admit that they never had the first idea what they were encouraging everyone else to vote for. (With a side of plums who deployed ‘balance’.)

The descent into savagery, and the breakdown of civilization in The Lord of the Flies story is very different to what actually happened 60 years ago ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongan_...

TGT returns on Monday with classical music. Discuss Handel's music and it's sense of ceremony and importance. You can keep it serious and listen to Messiah or compare Zadok The Priest and the Champions League Anthem. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

#WutheringHeights Sweepcliff.

😂🤣😂

NEW solar system lecture, about the atmospheres of gas giants! Come learn about what they're made of, what the storms are like, and all sorts of other cool things! 🔭🧪🎢 youtu.be/p4lQXFODJoE

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Pretty sure you're in it for you.

His dad who was Finance Director at the English Electric Cooker Company and Managing Director of Cannon Industries? His dad, whose startup company went on to turnover millions and who privately educated his son?

Found the most 1970s British artefact ever in a charity shop. A whole book about sandwiches written by Ken Dodd, illustrated by Bill Tidy, and featuring many recipes where putting pineapple in things makes them “exotic”.

Many people - Yusuf included - do not know this "There are no protected groups in the Act, only protected characteristics. A white man is just as protected on characteristics of race and sex as a black woman. Yet many believe the Act is just there to protect minorities" [Kemi Badenoch, 2023]

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

This ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws. Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money on suppressing civil liberties.

Despite more than 10 meteorites (lumps of metal travelling at ~50,000km/hr) hitting the earth every year, did you know there is only one recorded instance of a person being hit by one. Ann Hodges in Alabama in 1954. She got a bruise on her hip and more uncomfortably, a lot of press attention.

Totally wrong. Totally out of step with British values. He should apologise now.

Just need to convince the other 600 pupils to feel the same :-)

There are more attoseconds in one second than seconds since the big bang.

I don't care what anybody thinks about the Winter Olympics opening ceremony. That the ubertwat Vance has had to sit through it is reward enough for me.

At a Michael Jackson concert at Aintree in 1988, as part of the Bad world tour, I was pushed aside by a group of arm-locked people trying to get closer the front - a group that included Kenny Dalglish.

😍 THESE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS!!

Been waiting three hours for Nessun Dorma. Here we go.
