"These videos of JD Vance getting booed belong to all of us. We are the world, and we all deserve to see JD Vance getting booed. But in the meantime, I decided I'd do this for you guys. Just a little weekend treat." @timmiller.bsky.social:

Happy New Year, friends. It has obviously been a tough year and fittingly I am ending it with a headache. But I'm grateful for my internet communities and looking forward to 2026. Onward, and cheers 🥂

ITV: “This landscape of destruction looks other-worldly, but it’s not.” A view of Gaza from above shows the scale of what Israel has done, as they move to occupy Gaza amidst Palestinian starvation.

Couldn't agree more. Dept are avoiding it to avoid the cost of it but it's a scandal. For those who haven't gotten a chance to explore the new guidelines yet, I've done an explainer for primary. www.fromtinyacorns.ie/blog #Edchatie #EdShareie

Listen and hear. As a parent, even one who's also a Principal, these meetings were terrifying initially. You know you child is struggling & you can't fix it. It's heartbreaking. I didn't sleep a wink the night before my sons first school support meeting. Empathise. Listen. Hear. #Edchatie

1/ 🛑 Why Principals Need to Stop Engaging with the SET Allocations Of all the things that have been thrust on primary principals in the last number of years, the SET Allocations Model is the worst. Coined "The Cluster Games" here's why I think we need to stop engaging. 🧵

This is so good - @vermontgmg.bsky.social takes a stab at imagining how the US press would be covering overseas what's happening inside the U.S. right now:

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

TV audience for Inaugurations Biden 40 million Trump 38 million 2017 Trump 34 million 2025 There is a distinct possibility Trump will lie about this.

Next Monday, #edchatie returns here from 8.30 to 9.30pm with a discussion on one of the hot issues of the moment, 'AI in Irish education', hosted by @john-hurley.bsky.social.

Good day so far. Used Chatgpt to use the info to create a template for the recording of bullying behaviour doc, because it's the one thing without a template for some reason. Feel free to take, adapt, use as helpful docs.google.com/document/d/1... #edchatie

It’s back! In one week’s time #edchatie discusses education under a new government. Tune in at 7.30 on Mon 2nd December.

So impressed by the depth and breadth of investigative work of the @thejournal.ie.

For everyone in Irish education: a proposal to revive #edchatie Monday evening discussions on Bluesky. Every two weeks in term-time. First session details on the graphic. More: www.juliangirdham.com/blog/edchati... Please repost within Ireland as much as poss & spread the word elsewhere.

12,722 children are now overdue an assessment of need. Some of us 'completed' the assessment a year ago and still await a service statement. We have nothing. I shared Doireann's story on @newstalkfm.bsky.social in an attempt to illustrate that a complete assessment is just the first step. What then?

Growing #EdChatIE ➡️ Bluesky is different to previous #EdChatIE homes in that liking something doesn't do anything to the algorithm. It's just an acknowledgement or thank you to the poster. ➡️ If you want to amplify a post and increase it's reach, you have to repost it.
