I can tell you there are many people in positions of high responsibility, in the USA and elsewhere, who have little clue how the world works, how to make sure it continues to function at least (barely, some might say) adequately, and what the consequences are of failing. /3.

Every good programmer I know has been saying this to me for months; meanwhile every not-great programmer I know has been trying to outsource their work to ai, causing more issues/delays than they if did it themselves. A lot of these tools only seem good to people who are not great at their jobs.

watch this.

🛥️ Over 50 boats, from 44 countries across 6 continents 🌎 The largest flotilla in modern history Sailing to break an 18yr illegal 🇮🇱 siege of #Gaza 🇵🇸 To feed starving children To stop a genocide Mainstream media is silent And western ‘leaders’ are silent #FreePalestine #Palestine #FreedomFlotilla

Ryder cup - so if the round is halved if one a player is injured Europe could have just pushed half the team down the stairs 😂🤔

I think what disappoints about Starmer comms/policy strategy?/direction is it at least partly a response to a fear of getting ‘slaughtered’ by the uk media. This is misguided as they are going to do that anyway (as we can see). So just stand up and say what you believe in - and if this is IT then

Yup. No one mentions the wealth inequality crisis.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... a load of gossip mongering about Starmer not communicating a clear plan:vision but absolutely nothing about what these gossipers think it should be. Empty vessels make the loudest noise!!

When I see current uk and us politics I can’t help but wonder if the Covid virus didn’t also have some component that affected people’s higher order thinking skills. Maybe the Chinese did perfect a virus that turned people in selfish gibberish imbeciles after all??

Watching sadly drapping cheap flags limply attached to lampposts in a half mast fashion (is it uk pride dead) should be some kind of powerful metaphor but I can’t quite get there.

Oh. I know this one. It's "move to Dubai", isn't it!?

Splitting classes (two teachers sharing a class) advantages and disadvantages what do you think? #secondarymaths

So many women have been talking, writing and warning people of the dangerous ideologies and biases of tech in Silicon Valley, for decades, and it’s so infuriating that so many men (not OP here) just flat out ignore it and act surprised at the technofascists infecting it now

'Today, Nigel Farage said that all mice are gay and they're from space. We ask experts whether there is any truth in the claims'.

Prepared lesson slides - great as a resource for new teachers but for someone with more knowledge and skill you are asking someone to teach using a resource/plan inferior to that teachers own….like asking Chris Hoy to cycle with stabilisers on….

I have massive sympathy for young adults and the challenge of housing costs etc but I am not sure half their income going on living costs is any different from me now or in the past… have I misread this article? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... quality sane washing here - why don’t you directly quote the nonsense he came out with? No just snippets which explain in your own way along with ‘he has a point’ bbc apologists for fascists loons leading us into a rightwing hellscape. Cheers guys

Today's British media in 1944: 'Concentration Camps - Are they all bad?' 'We will be joined later by German minister Dr Joseph Goebbels, and a young girl called Anne Frank who is bunking off school at the moment.'

Can you teach trig without sohcahtoa? Yeah I think so and I have given it a go although I did end up with ohsahcoat instead…

Thank I’ll be hitting the first lemsip of the new term tonight!!

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

The lib dems have a great deal of sensible looking policies. That’s the issue, the BBC is more like facebook, it loves division, the more violently opposed to sense the better.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... if this had been a young English manager- he’d have been shown the door months ago with headlines of being out of his depth etc. what is the aura of the foreign managers? We can produce our own managerial failures - no need to import them 😂

Thoughts from the chalk face - white Rose and other prepared SOL are not the solution - they suffer from the conveyor approach to teaching which remains a root cause of the issues in secondary maths ed. The idea that spiralling the curriculum so we can return to content only works if they mastered

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist." -JAMES BALDWIN

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

This would be about Donald Trump's right not to be upset or offended by the truth. That is not the intent or purpose of the malicious communications act. I am struggling to get the police to bother with actually unlawful racist harassment though.

I don’t understand how downplaying causes, so you can appeal to everyone, keeps getting sold as a political strategy. It’s literally the opposite of that. It’s how vital issues get sidelined. It’s how you cede ground. It’s how you enable the opposition. Puppets who stand for nothing aren’t winning.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

The muzzling of free speech in the US by direct and indirect means should be chilling to anyone who values the principles of freedom and democracy. But it seems to be dealt with a shrug and a ho hum…

BBC’s Mason producing another content lite article about Reform spooking the other parties. This continuous drip drip of Reform this and that whilst in no way talking about what they stand for just helps build their support. Imagine continuous articles about food x is better than food y without any

Dear politics and media types, Stop telling me what "people in this country" are thinking and feeling. We're individuals. Even now. #politicslive

Are females really iron men? The clue is in the spelling I guess…

To transform the country and take on the populist right, Labour must heed the voices of its radical realists - and build a principled, practical, popular left alternative. Join @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social and together we can bring that alternative to life. www.mainstreamlabour.org/get-involved

Reporting back from the Facebook frontline: English nationalism is rooted in a fear of being displaced but when scratching a bit further it turns out to be something more mystical some millennial long project in which Englishness has been fought for as from what I can gather a divine golden ideal

They are lapping it up on Facebook!

Really need to test bbc - counter fascist march next month - see how/if they cover it with same gusto - if not we will know for definite where they stand

That the UK government continues to post on X is not only a moral failure, but strategically incompetent. As is not blocking foreign funding of UK politics

Why not just go for up to 10 million? BBC playing fast and loose with how they report numbers - I really can’t believe what I have been seeing from the BBC recently…

All these boomers and gen xers complaining about immigration - guys you chose low taxation, low wages for care jobs and didn’t invest in training for decades so really it’s on you so stop whining now.

And this has happened *without* a massive sea change of actual popular opinion in favour of these thugs; the elite flip has not been responding to the public, but to social media

this didn’t happen at the height of the Brexit referendum. I don’t *think* it’s happened since National Front were at their peak in 1970s. This is organised racist intimidation & movement building, and it’s happening because Labour Party leaders have not opposed that campaign.

26 Police Officers were injured at today's riots but only 9 people were arrested. Compare that with the peaceful Palestine Action protest where 0 Police Officers were injured but nearly 900 people were arrested. The Government has got Law Enforcement ridiculously wrong.

Keep thinking of arguments for why it would be completely insane to dump a prime minister with a huge majority just 14 months in, and also about how if he's not going to say a single word in opposition to the kind of shit we saw today then I no longer feel convinced by any of those arguments.

They are firing people for even reposting what Charlie Kirk actually said—like direct quotes. This is peak gaslighting.

Where does the number e come from?
