“and in other news, President Trump has ordered the bombing of Venezuela” “Caracas?” “not according to his doctors”

😬

Three days ago. No more words.

For political hacks like myself, 'put it in the curriculum' is the oldest and hattiest of old hat policy ideas. Why do we think schools should solve all our problems? What if we thought differently about life skills and civic education? howtorunacountry.substack.com/p/schools-ca...

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

@norcrosscricket.bsky.social Any podds dropping soon?

Well I was not in the Starmer needs to go group but this could change my mind

In a Maths meeting, we were discussing whether manipulatives (such as algebra tiles) are allowed in GCSE Maths exams? If not, can you state where this is written in the JCQ regulations? #Mathstoday

The ever-impressive @iandunt.bsky.social speaks for many of us.* * It looks like things might be starting to change at the top of the Govt since this was filmed.

Thats the hundred final decided

Well that's F1 over for another year

Due to an unexpected council tax bill I am opening up ten slots for Silly Little Guys. DM me to secure a slot! Usual rules apply: ⭐️ £25 each ⭐️ No portraits ⭐️ Just simple, silly stuff.

Have you seen this @samfr.bsky.social @stephenkb.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLP7...

In addition to some maps, I've been doing a commissioned drawing this week. There's more to do around the edges, but the main part -- the bear and the dragon -- are just about done.

This makes a lot of sense

didn't have time to stop and take a picture because I was running late but there was a crab on the pavement on the way to Lewisham station earlier tonight if you left your whole crab by Lewisham station don't worry, it's still there

It's fascinating because the stories here are... exactly the opposite of what industry data is showing, which is that hiring is strong, translation jobs are growing and diversifying, and in fact it's one of the fastest growing professions in the uS right now.

One for @mjrobbins.com and @jamesomalley.co.uk #AI 10% better or transformative tech....

Anthropic’s copyright case is amazing stuff. On paper, a judge ruled almost everything their way: scanning and digitisation books is fine, and using that to train AI is, too, he ruled. BUT: because they used pirated books, they could be on the hook for *billions* in damages…

Fascinating

What the.. ?

A poem from this morning.

@ecrmaths.bsky.social @neechmaths.bsky.social Out of interest, do you ever request to get a paper remarked for core maths? Noticed two students were 1 mark from an A, and I was wondering if it is worthwhile.

Capybara Coffee Caravan. Thanks to @celesse.bsky.social for letting me use her photo as inspiration and reference! #Art #CosyArt #Capybara

Fascinating

Don’t mind me, just up in here posting a thirst trap. Will not delete later. #art #ThirstTrap

Is this a wormy fossil? Looks wiggly and regular but maybe too deep. Norway. @ichnologist.bsky.social

Britain hasn’t suddenly become more racist, but racists have become more assertive in their bigotry. My ‪@theobserveruk.bsky.social‬ column: observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating "I support Palestine. Action must be taken." My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

You’re watching BBC News x

For years I have nurtured and refined this list of books which I have mentally filed as "novels you absolutely can't go wrong with if you take them on holiday". I've shared it with many friends over the years but this is the first time I've published it: jmarriott.substack.com/p/absorbing-...

Reform's first 2 ever council defences were tonight, and they've lost both of them.

FFS! 😡 A tax £12,000 tax bill for the Vale Wildlife hospital??!!! Vale has been helping Britain’s wildlife for over 40 years. Please help. Donate something, however small. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... www.valewildlife.org.uk #tewkesbury #gloucestershire #uk

How did they know my school just made oracy a school improvement priority?

Chucked off the train at Newcastle because a tree blocks the line North to Berwick where I was supposed to be picked up. Don’t suppose anyone happens to be driving from Newcastle to Melrose and can give me a lift?

Mark is spot on here. So much time is wasted in years 10-11 repeating content already taught and long forgotten. @markmccourt.bsky.social www.emaths.co.uk/blog/general...

If only there had been some clues that they were both like this.

@bennewmark.bsky.social @mrmountstevens.bsky.social Hi, do you think this would be useful to use in schools as a warning about LLMs?

I... oh my god. amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-e...

@mathsjem.bsky.social Hi Jo. On your recent post, you were inquiring about finding a school in the midlands. My school might be a viable option. Please dm if interested. Thanks.

I like the word dial. It’s laid back.

I hate being on trains but love making a fool of myself so if anyone wants to pay me to do this and report back on, among other things, how much I hated it, I'm game and my email is in my bio
