Thank you for reporting on this

i appreciate that you described the razor-edged pendulum swinging back and forth above us, and noted in detail that it is also slowly descending towards the table we're strapped to. and yet i can't help but ask why you failed to condemn these acts or make clear to your audience that they are bad?

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
White nationalism is incompatible with the gospel and whatnot

'Sorry' said the student 'I didn't mean to give you a hard one'

'IT'S SO EASY I WANT TO CURL UP AND DIE OUT OF EMBARRASSMENT!' was my calm, measured response delivered at a level that approached a shriek.

Literally ground my class to a halt.

Anyway - almost Christmas.

Made an offhand comment about 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon' in class today.
Of course no one had heard of it so explained and asked for a suggested actor.
Was given Al Pacino and realised my brain is broken and took a staggering, shocking and alarming amount of time for me to make the connection.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I am a member of a parents WhatsApp group for one of my son's clubs. One of the parents in the group leaves voice notes rather than texts and I think that is full blown psychotic behaviour.

If you’re proud of what you’re doing and you don’t care who you’re screwing,
Or that everyone is booing

extraordinary writing, extraordinary performance, I want to stand and cheer

One detail here is that all the clips are of them just sitting motionless, waiting, riding; there's no "action" like you might see in other military hype videos because the "action" ICE takes is all just horrific violence against civilians. can't put that in the video!

I need you all to see the hype video that this person made to sell their 1994 Geo Metro

A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

I've been excited for a while to watch Raiders with the ten year old but he's had very little interest when I try to explain it. Then I thought, 'what am I doing?' and just left the case lying around. The artwork did all the heavy lifting and now I'm fielding questions about the film non stop 🤣

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment.

Happy World Book Day.

Wherever I fly into Des Moines I always feel like fully half the place has never flown before in their lives. The disembarking pace would get you MURDERED in other airports.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Some of the BBC presenters are pronouncing Storm Eowyn similar to 'Storm Iowan' and I'm like 'That's right UK! FEEL MY WRATH!!!'

just a reminder that your local library has more than just books! many also have dvds, cds, video games, internet hot spots, grindr hookup spots, chupacabras, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, skibidi toilets, gateways to the shadow realm, and so much more! maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚❤️📚❤️📚

Almost properly kicked off in Aldi after the person in front of me at the till was asked for id and I was not (I have not been asked for id in years but, come on, nothing I did today deserved that).

I introduced my students to Whamaggedon and someone at the back IMMEDIATELY played the song on their computer. Folks, the COVID generation is ANGRY!

Pork Belly

The Day of the Jackal just took a cheap shot at David Hare and I'm ready to meet someone in the car park over it!!!

How on earth did you do the first task without first achieving the second?

Hooray!!! We saw you in Cardigan and were floored! Have an excellent tour!

No Handlebars by flobots suddenly popping into my head, me briefly wondering if that would be a video worth exploring with my students before just as suddenly realising that the song is now, like, 15 years old and am now just staring at the wall and not planning my lesson even a little bit.
