Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

@IGMansfield @Mrs_SPaG 1300 is fine; 1200 is a stretch!! And I studied Medieval English!
English
This is super interesting.
The last one I can read fluently is 1600.
I can then still read it and figure out (almost) every word, with some puzzling, but then lose it almost completely at 1200.

My favourite character is Samwise. The real centre of the films, esp the speech about ‘there’s some good in the world’. Not in the book but it’s the very heart of the story. Perfection!

No fan of Belichick (even though he helped the Giants win two SBs) but he should be a shoo-in for HoF first ballot.

Bold prediction for #TheTraitorsUK … they’re gonna pull a Murder on the Orient Express on us. At elimination time they won’t be allowed to say if they’re traitors or faithful. Why? Because EVERYONE ELSE is a Secret Traitor but they all think they’re the only one. Huge if true.

Hello @VictoriaCoren did you say ‘specialty’ on tonight’s show instead of ‘speciality’?

@GCSE_Macbeth Had to reiterate this to a kid this week. Studying ACC and AIC means a lot of them conflate Priestley’s opposition to capitalism with Dickens’ message of generosity. The kid really struggled to wrap his head around the fact that Dickens was OK with capitalism!
English
Dickens' problem with Scrooge isn't that he's a money lender or even that he's wealthy. It's that he's mean and selfish.
There's no searching or meaningful critique of capitalism in ACC.
Anon Opin.@anon_opin
Surely Scrooge was just doing his job as a money lender? Why would any sensible lender or bank turn a blind eye to missed payments etc?

Hello everyone. Feeling a bit despondent about X.
We work very hard on the project, but despite having 9,000 followers, we rarely get more than 5 or 6 likes on any post!?
We could do with knowing if we should stay here, and if there's still love for #Brochs?

@dylanwiliam @olicav @P_A_Kirschner Ultimately, design principles in visual media that is essentially static (or episodically static; it really doesn’t matter) have been effective for a long time. Oliver’s principles are essentially the same. Simple, clutter-free, deliberate, white space, limited type palette.
English
@Gareth101 @olicav @P_A_Kirschner It seems to me that slides with text animations are completely different from digital six sheets, since readers can see what is being added, and what went before, at the same time. And what matters is not what is happening in the media, but what is happening in the reader's head.

@TychoBrahe No, other way round. Troll was good; Troll Hunter was promising and then bobbins
English
@TychoBrahe Have seen Troll and Troll Hunter, both a wee while ago now. Can’t remember which was which but one was great until the troll appeared; the other one with the king in it was much better. I think the more pants one was Troll.
English
@dylanwiliam @olicav @P_A_Kirschner Slides are merely a series of static media. Animating text into a slide allows control of the info release, but they’re not movies. Very little difference in essence btwn slides and eg elevator panels or digital six sheets. Ultimately slides are sequential transient static media.
English
@Gareth101 @olicav @P_A_Kirschner This makes sense for static print, but slides with animations are a very different thing…
English
@olicav @dylanwiliam @P_A_Kirschner From advertising background and all these principles ring true. White space and lack of clutter, clear headlines, visual alignment all important for message to be seen and absorbed. No different for editorial layout. Spot colour often more effective than full.
English
@dylanwiliam @P_A_Kirschner Good question. The graphics world has used such principles for generations, and have conducted studies on eye movements that back up the original hunches. But none as far as I know in schools.

@GCSE_Macbeth @SPryke2 @TeacherBusy @Bruff I’m sure someone somewhere has written a sequel set in modern times where a near 200 year old Tiny Tim lives on in agony as an immortal, desiccated Mumm-Ra type evil villain, dryly rasping ‘God bless us…God bless us’ as he rocks, hiding from the light like Lestat.
English
Contextually how exactly would more money have helped Tiny Tim? Is it just a case of better diet or was there actual legitimate medical treatment he needed?

Really cool little map of the Black Sea. Quite a bit of drama in this visual I would say. Source: buff.ly/2ZPPHoo
