If S Korea can do this, why can’t we stop lawnmowers and leafblowers during SATs in May? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Farage lying and doing our country down, again. As if Year 3 teachers are doing this. The last two lines are pure projection.

Funnily enough, Town could only draw there last weekend. And Kabia had a penalty saved 😂

What about the (obviously not revised) subheading here from FotMob.

Think the sub-editor wrote that subheading before the last kick …

Reading Seth Rogen’s Yearbook and there’s this page where he describes managing to avoid befriending two toxic individuals.

Dear DfE, please can every local authority have an @mrsmithnorwich.bsky.social to coordinate primary writing CPD and moderation. Thanks. #TDaPEManchester

It’s great to be back in a room full of teachers on a Saturday morning, especially when @andrewpercivaled.bsky.social is talking retrieval practice at #TDaPEManchester

Check out Thomas Turgoose’s Instagram to see Mark Ruffalo joining in with the classic Grimsby Town chant: “We piss on your fish.” #GTFC

I’m watching Severance S2:3 while scanning the news. And it’s not even been three weeks of this shit.

Goal of the season? Danny Rose’s unconventional finish for Grimsby Town against Bromley, 1/2/25. The lens flare is just the chef’s kiss.

No one asked this primary child to cut out a tiny piece of orange paper, but they got a piece of A4 and they decided this was the best way to do it anyway. #primaryrocks

Got my Christmas present late and it’s a thing of beauty: the epic 1300+ page, two-part book of the production of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining from J. W. Rinzler and Lee Unkrich. 🩸 🪓

Finally pulled the plug on Musk's disinformation machine. I locked my Twitter account with his entry into the riots, but hesitated to go all the way. I learnt so much and met so many special friends during those 14 years, but even those memories aren't worth the being in the same place as his lies.

Al Pacino’s memoir, Sonny Boy, is narrated by the man himself in the audiobook version, and it’s absolutely wonderful.

I wouldn’t exactly put it like that. Teachers are hardly “higher earners”.

Ad on Instagram targeted at teachers. Except, when we say we want a quiet classroom, this is not what we mean.

Olympics closing ceremony has peaked for me with Phoenix, Air and Kavinsky (off the Drive soundtrack) and we haven’t even got to Tom Cruise yet.
