Would you like some silliness to brighten up your Monday? www.instagram.com/reel/DPVr_Vt...

Doing my part to chip away against AI slop by refusing to mark any work where they (the student) have gotten an AI to _generate a shadow paper_

ok this feels like ... cultural appropriation??? www.youtube.com/watch?v=g303...

Yes. Digital creatures are incorporeal and thus closer in resemblance to the Divine Ideas than humanity, clothed as we are in sinful flesh. More angel than ape, Clippy does not merely have a soul: he has more of a soul than you or I

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic

Welcome to October, had my first PSL of the season 🎃 ☕️

Chatting with a young (early 20s?) person who like to go to protests and write down the badge numbers of any police that they see. Me: oh, so like train spotting?

Recommendations for where/how to get audiobooks that are not Amazon? (or whatever other company we have decided to cancel this week) Yes I'm aware of my library but they don't have everything.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Please join me in congratulating the Church of England on finally realising there is such a thing as colour photography 😀

Starting to understand how people feel about Sports as I keep refreshing in anticipation of finding out who the next Archbishop of Canterbury will be.

This is like going shopping in a supermarket with the reusable bags of a different one

If October 3rd is Mean Girls Day, when is Median Girls Day and when is Mode Girls Day?

Incredible British immigrant to Australia claims he "built" the country 🤣 www.instagram.com/reel/DOoEXE_...

Live your life in such a way that when you die, social media is flooded with pictures of your smiling face and your words of compassion for animals and the earth.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

To any fellow mathematician who has been drawing stuff on whiteboards/chalkboards for a while as part of their teaching and research, I guarantee those are transferrable skills to start doing digital art. No talent need.

This came up in the staff meeting today: how the ordinary English meaning of the word “independent” does not describe at all how a Venn diagram looks, and what to do to fix that. #MathSky www.adelaide.edu.au/mathslearnin...

Microsoft Word is apparently on a go-slow today. I think I'm going to have to write this test by hand, like it's 1999

As someone with a very loud brain that I like to try and silence with lots of loud things (video, radio, music, etc)... I am so mad that the best thing to do is to actually just sit in silence without moving for a full half an hour. Game changing. Silences the brain completely for hours.

My #MathsConf39 workshop choices: 1 - Parsa Hassan-Yazdi 2 - Aidan Gollaglee 3 - Robin Harris & Greg Thomas 4 - Alex Cutbill 5 - Jason Yip & @TeaKayB.mathsy.space Join me with @lasalleed.bsky.social, get your ticket here: completemaths.com/community/mathsconf39

Latin tutor asks if anyone noticed any English etymology words in the reading and I said "yes but it's a maths word" (because I keep coming up with words no one has heard of) and it was the SAME WORD SHE WAS THINKING OF 🎉🎉🎉

In #MathsToday we introduced spreadsheets. Students who have never written a spreadsheet formula are always shocked to discover how powerful basic spreadsheets are... "Are you kidding me that's like actually low key sick" williams-bhs.github.io/spreadsheets/

Numerologists take note: tomorrow, 27th September 2025, is a square date in both US and Everywhere Else notation. 5205² = 27092025 and 3045² = 9272025 This is the last time this will happen for a thousand years! (from @EdPeggJr on math-fun)

What is the point of you???

I've put reading this book (and going to Tom's workshop) as one of my performance management targets

why is it always id cards and never, say, superego cards

Learning in school is not enough. You must continue to teach yourself throughout your life. Study history, read myths, memorize poems, get acquainted with the greatest philosophers & writers. In an age when tech is cooking many brains, we need an army of autodidacts.

What?!!

Look what we have here then.

Currently sidestepping a tedious proof by induction by observing that if you've seen one proof by induction, you've seen them all.

A very special #CursedCarol for a very special day. Happy 80th birthday, Sir John Rutter. Thanks for your ceaseless championing of choral music, your many decades of bringing joy to singers and listeners alike, and your many, many key changes.

Is this about the bridges?

I'd like a list please of school-friendly parents.

Every big social event (weddings, pay attention) should have an activity table for when the asocial nerds need a break

Anyone I know at the ukmt bash tonight?? I don't feel like talking to strangers....

hey colleagues, want to feel old? 18 year olds starting university this year are -younger than YouTube and Twitter -younger than the song “Bad Day” -and never knew Pluto as a planet (don’t worry tho, to make us all feel better about it they dress like it’s 2003)

Today I've been trying to channel @alexhorne.bsky.social saying "no no, no thank you" when telling off the children and so far so good. But I have y11s after lunch so...

I want a tear off calendar for my classroom. Like this but a LOT bigger. I remember we used to get (for free!) these big (like A4) wall tear off calendars from the Asian supermarkets in Australia, do they have that here??

Reform pledges that those who currently have settled status would be forced to repeatedly reapply for a new five-year temporary visa. #TellYourSettledFriends www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Happy September Equinox! www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lo9jl... Now the rate at which the days are getting shorter is decreasing You can use second derivatives, trig graphs, cumulative frequency graphs, and (if they know it) the Normal Distribution to get your point across

Yesss punch cards!! www.instagram.com/reel/DNnxgag...

and then they get to Song of Songs and completely pivot to “it’s a metaphor about the relationship between Christ and the church” wow sorry people being horny on main upsets you but you guys are the ones who decided to include it

Imagine trying to take the minutes at these meetings, not being able to hear what anybody was saying.

“i used to journal, but now i save 15 mins every day by having chatGPT do it for me” - some guy probably

Tried to read "Dracula" many times but could never get into it, except this time, because I've got Mark Gatiss in my phone, reading it to me.

Launch weekend for new song book and people are excited by the new cover colour which I thought was silly but I've decided to join in
