What a delight to find this in my podcast app today. Can't wait to listen. About 10 years ago, I listened to the philosophy bites episode on Rawls. I couldn't believe that such a dude existed and yet wasn't a household name.

Imagine Labour were in opposition and two very senior shadow cabinet members, seen as leadership rivals to the leader, had resigned within days of each other. Think how that would be reported - the tone, frequency, and prominence. Now tell me the media landscape is not skewed in this country.

I went to see Sense and Sensibility because I thought it was a sequel to Dumb and Dumber. Took me 20 mins to realise it wasn't a weird intro.

Football fans should stop moaning about VAR. It exists because they moaned about wrong decisions. Also F1 fans moaning about overtaking now being too easy. They moaned that there wasn't enough before.

Chill out everyone. The Argentinian football team waving a flag about the Falklands is probably the least most important thing happening the world right now. Why are people getting so angry about it?

so my actual analysis is that sometimes when you're innately good at a video game it weirdly ends up putting you at a disadvantage, as you plough through bosses without needing to actually learn attack patterns or whatever, until you reach a level where Your Thing no longer works and you get stuck

Ironic that the team who've done the most to turn corners into rugby scrums get saved by VAR after a rugby scrum in the 6 yard box. #arsenal #premierleague

I just want to vote for my local council. Want to vote libdem because they do a good job on my council. Instead I have to risk reform winning locally so I can place a vote to support the national government and prevent the big brains in Westminster from changing PM again.

I get everyone is thrilled for Rory but the Justin Rose at the Masters story is heartbreaking. So many near misses. The guy brings his best game every year. I've never wanted so see a golfer win more. Rory had his moment last year. Gutted Justin still hasn't had his.

Looking to benefit from experience of #mathstoday crew. Just started in a secondary after working in Pri and middle. V high PP. Teaching groups include tiny bottom sets. Ss struggle with basic skills, attendance & focus. Rewarding & challenging work but interested to know what's worked for others?

also, side note, but why are these deranged outbursts by a deranged racist & misogynist ‘embarrassing’ for Starmer, who’s trying to prop up a security alliance in the face of madness, and not ‘embarrassing’ for the journalists working on these stories who’ve done so much to sanewash Trump?

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

This is called ‘Twenty Modern-Day Proverbs’.
Twenty Modern-Day Proverbs
 
Fake news travels fast.
Post in haste, regret immediately.
Two’s company, three’s a crowdsourcing campaign.
AI for an eye, an untruth for a truth.
Beware of geeks bearing gifs.
Caesar’s Wi-Fi must be above suspicion.
A scrolling phone gathers no moss.
Share and share and like.
Don’t feed the troll that bites you.
Empty influencers make the most noise.
Every blog has its day.
Blessed are the content creators.
There’s a time and podcast for everything.
Do not judge clickbait by its cover.
A WhatsApp a day keeps your mother at bay.
All’s well that trends well.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
teach a man to phish and you pheed him for a lifetime.
Every cloud has a data centre.
Spam tomorrow and spam yesterday – and always spam today.
The end justifies the memes.

This is how the defense is designed. Make them execute, play after play. Defense very overstretched in terms of personnel and number of snaps today. They did well to hold out for as long as they did. Still think this roster is well ahead of schedule. #49ers #faithful

It's time for Reeves to double the budget of the HMRC. Everyone should pay their fair tax and we're going hard for those that don't. We believe in fair play. Through deterrence, it will probably pay for itself. Help the economy and make everyone play by Rayner's rules.

I'll bet Farage is furious with whoever it was that stood down MPs to give Johnson a free run in the 2019 election. People should have legitimate concerns at politicians who turned their backs on having a say when such important decisions were being made.

Why are the government's critics on the left so keen to change the pension credit policy? They are arguing that we should be giving more money to well off people. The poorest pensioners will be no better off if the policy changes. Why is THIS policy being seen such a mistake?
