I’ve had a look at today’s minute cryptic before going to bed and…. Wtf

*taps sign*

I don't think he wrote this It's factual (& I agree with it), a coherent assessment of both the military & economic situation, & uses "Paper tiger" correctly Is this the guy who said "It's too much liquid. Too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number" a day ago?

oh

Enjoyed the challenge of that. I was on the wrong track this morning. Minute Cryptic - 23 September, 2025 "Announced you are divorcing mature spouse" (4) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 🏆 0 hints – 1 under the community par (82,975 solvers so far). www.minutecryptic.com?utm_source=s...

Cultural Capital gold on Wednesday's TGT. Discuss the man behind the genius of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show & Labyrinth with your students tomorrow. Remember Jim Henson on what would have been his 89th Birthday. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

An even worse example of legitimising batshit crazy is the BBC article on this. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Mickey Mouse economics.

Irony is truly dead.

I hope Kimmel’s show tomorrow night goes exactly like this:

The only time Elon will use “they” as a pronoun to describe a single individual.

Well thank god we got rid of Cleverley #watfordfc

Tuesday is the 179 years since Galle's discovered Neptune. A great story. Uranus was has been discovered 83 years earlier, but Mathematicians noticed it didn't obey Newton's laws. They postulated an 8th planet & its location, Galle found it right where it was predicted. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

It just straightforwardly *insane* how much political chatter in the United Kingdom is about the next general election, an event that is a long way in the future, and how basically none of it is about 'uh, this policy agenda doesn't look adequate to the scale of the inherited problem'.

The jingoism, xenophobia and moral cowardice on the other hand are absolutely fine.

David Letterman on his career mocking presidents: “Beating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedy—not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency, let alone the dreaded FCC.” Watch more: bit.ly/4n0Uv2p #TAF25

There are some good good people on here. But then you find a name missing you expected to find. Is @joshuamalina.bsky.social pro cancellations 😂

Yup. The rate limiting step in almost every context I've seen is attention. And you need a teacher to direct this. Almost every tech model starts from the wrong point because it assumes children will want to study the material and won't need their attention managed.

In case you thought I was exaggerating, here is the "debate" on Kimmel from Newsnight. David Frum explaining the horrific first-amendment-breaching executive overreach. British right wing hacks: bUt HiS jOkE wAs iNaCCuRaTe!

Thing is, while Ed Davey has unusual ways of creating publicity, the Lib Dem’s policies typically have substance and are workable. Meanwhile, Reform is often treated as credible despite its policy agenda being two elephants short of a circus. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Why haven’t you tried picking on a minority in the country for ragebait?”

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

Dutch late night TV has its take

How about Novocaine for the sole?

what can i say? i’m good at what i do

LOL. I need a tick all that apply for options 2 and 3 @teachertapp.bsky.social

Message from my GP in August: From 1st Sept. No longer need to wait on phone at 8am for GP appointment. You can now do online triage form at your lesuire. Nice. Message from my GP’s website just now:

It was never about “freedom.” It was always about who was in control.

On Friday's TGT use the anniversary of the first Glastonbury Festival to discuss music festivals, old music, new music (both with Olivia Rodrigo & Robert Smith) or whether festivals and their prices have gotten out of hand? bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Things are so bad white people noticed.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

If you need a demonstration of how GMB often descends into Susanna Reid and Andrew Pierce supporting each other's crap while Kevin Maguire is trying to get a (truthful/factual) word in, this is it. Susanna Reid is contemptible and should be fired. Pierce should be left to GB News. #ShutdownGMB

There’s a lot going on and yet it’s still so elegant. Superb. Minute Cryptic - 18 September, 2025 "Buzzer-beater was thrown with second on stopwatch" (4) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 I scored: 2 under par www.minutecryptic.com?utm_source=s...
