I don't know how to express how much I hate that this man -- innumerate, ignorant of science, mendacious, and incurious -- has power over so many millions of lives.

Beggars belief that Met Police is in talks with #Palantir about giving them access to highly sensitive data, when there’s already such concern over its links with ICE & Israeli military. Palantir already has UK contracts worth over £500m, incl. with NHS. We should be scrapping them not signing more

Because the work will never be finished. Teaching could take 24/7/365 if we let it. Set your boundaries and aim to keep them 90% of the time. The 10% buffer is to stop you giving up if you sometimes have to compromise.

Pretty soon, the OECD report on fixing the Scottish "Curriculum" by having clarity, better support and good articulation will be reported on. The technical Framework is a really good start at getting away from the vague CFE statements that caused so much damage.

Saying I think other political parties are rubbish so I’m going to vote Reform is like saying I don’t like this burger so I’m going to eat this toxic waste tip instead. Nuts.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

This village uses its solar income on free communal lunches, buses and other communal efforts.“If you divide money as individual income, people feel disconnected. People who didn’t know each other for years now get to know each other within days” I love everything about this.

Just what does Trump have to do before those with the authority to do so finally have him removed from office?

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either: a. Incompetent b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't c. a & b

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

WTAF. Gov asking nurses and teachers to pay back loans. Gov should be paying them off. Does a country need nurses and students? What kind of shitty social contract are we offering our citizens? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The wrong question is dominating the energy crisis debate. Every interview starts the same: where do we find replacement fossil fuels and what happens to prices? In this BBC interview I push back. This is the moment to talk about escaping fossil fuel dependence - not the daily market noise.

Thoroughly enjoyed this brilliant event run by @iopscotland.bsky.social and chaired by @robinince.bsky.social. What better way to spend a Friday evening in that Edinburgh, but listening to a fascinating panel discussion about #particle #physics

How can the international community allow Trump to make such threats without denouncing him? Where is the UN? Where are the US Congress and Senate?

Looks like a great opportunity to build awareness of the work being down at @uogcfte.bsky.social - especially for colleagues from the #gaelic hub

Tesco makes nearly £4bn profit. Nearly 50% of its workforce are on Universal Credit, receiving about £600m a year. Why isn't Tesco paying?

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Practitioner Enquiry Tip of the Week: don't discount the outliers. A lot of research focuses on finding commonality, themes, averages and generalisable trends, but as teachers we deal with more than the majority. We also have to focus on the outliers/1🧵 #PractitionerEnquiryTotW

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

That baby is too grown up to be Donald Trump.

A sobering thought: were Nigel Farage to become Prime Minister then the terrifying scenes from Minneapolis would become terrifying scenes here.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Why do we even bother with international laws if corrupt regimes are allowed to attack other sovereign nations? If Trump and his administration get away with this in Venezuela, who's to say where they will invade next? BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." - Winston Churchill History shows that appeasement never works. The time for appeasing Trump is over.

I have finally got around to writing about my recent month-long trip to Australia and New Zealand. With New Zealand currently reviewing its curriculum it was especially good to speak to some of the key players in its development and to teachers too. stuartphysics.co.uk/2025/12/14/l...

So disheartening to see that @robinince.bsky.social has been compelled to resign from his show on the BBC as they felt that him expressing compassion for and solidarity with some of the most vulnerable and oppressed groups in our society did not fit with their values.

Who gave the billionaires like Musk and Bezos the right to cut the Earth off from the Universe?
