One of the reasons I left (state secondary) teaching was the complete lack of trust that SLT had for classroom teachers. Realising the degree of autonomy I am about to have as an incumbent is scary but exciting. If you recruit quality personnel, you can trust them.
Madeleine Davies@MadsDavies

“It’s not simply about formal control but also the need to change the culture of individualism some clergy seem to think they deserve. That love of autonomy means that they can be inconsistent and unpredictable in their promises to implement policy.”

You can understand these Italian girls being pissed off. What is the point of them working out, doing their make-up, getting their hair done, etc. when, no matter how much effort they put in, it'll be out-done by some woman simply being black? If it were the other way around, black women would be pissed off but at least everyone would understand that objective truth was being honoured. As it is, it's a complete lie: innate beauty is being artificially negated.

Looks like the girls have got pretending fatigue.

As with immigration, it’s all about white erasure. They could just have easily created a new series of occult detectives (there’s dozens of examples from fiction) featuring a pair of non whites. But apparently they can’t do that, and therefore the X-Files must be blackened.
Felix Rex@navyhato

The new X-Files has so much new ground to cover and its casting looks impeccable for 2026. How excited are you to binge watch Hollywood's newest reboot?

If you don’t teach the Bible at least as literature suddenly you lose the references across the classics. You don’t understand Shakespeare, so they stop teaching that too. The dominos fall and the public doesn’t understand its own culture. It’s great for year zero communists. It’s great for people who want to paint western culture as insignificant or unremarkable. It’s great for people who are concerned when they see a bookshelf at the racial makeup of the authors, those that are upset at all the old dead white men.

There’s an episode from Cheers where Frasier and another guy are quoting from Richard II and Cyrano de Bergerac. 34 million Americans watched this episode.

One reason to execute grooming gang members instead of deporting them is that you don’t want people to think of deportation as a punishment. Lots of good people who’ve done nothing wrong need to be deported too.

A grammar book walks into a bar * An Oxford comma walks into a bar, where it spends the evening watching the television, getting drunk, and smoking cigars. * A dangling participle walks into a bar. Enjoying a cocktail and chatting with the bartender, the evening passes pleasantly. * A bar was walked into by the passive voice. * An oxymoron walked into a bar, and the silence was deafening. * Two quotation marks walk into a “bar.” * A malapropism walks into a bar, looking for all intents and purposes like a wolf in cheap clothing, muttering epitaphs and casting dispersions on his magnificent other, who takes him for granite. * Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything. * A question mark walks into a bar? * A non sequitur walks into a bar. In a strong wind, even turkeys can fly. * Papyrus and Comic Sans walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Get out -- we don't serve your type." * A mixed metaphor walks into a bar, seeing the handwriting on the wall but hoping to nip it in the bud. * A comma splice walks into a bar, it has a drink and then leaves. * Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They converse. They depart. * A synonym strolls into a tavern. * At the end of the day, a cliché walks into a bar -- fresh as a daisy, cute as a button, and sharp as a tack. * A run-on sentence walks into a bar it starts flirting. With a cute little sentence fragment. * Falling slowly, softly falling, the chiasmus collapses to the bar floor. * A figure of speech literally walks into a bar and ends up getting figuratively hammered. * An allusion walks into a bar, despite the fact that alcohol is its Achilles heel. * The subjunctive would have walked into a bar, had it only known. * A misplaced modifier walks into a bar owned by a man with a glass eye named Ralph. * The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense. * A dyslexic walks into a bra. * A verb walks into a bar, sees a beautiful noun, and suggests they conjugate. The noun declines. * A simile walks into a bar, as parched as a desert. * A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to forget. * A hyphenated word and a non-hyphenated word walk into a bar and the bartender nearly chokes on the irony . – Jill Thomas Doyle

@JaFiStephen This report is now all over major news outlets in the US. She was definitely spot on from what I’ve read. I hope the cops find the person.

Birmingham dedicates a whole week to celebrating Somalia. July is now “Somalinimo Week” in England’s second city. Meanwhile, waving the English flag or celebrating St George’s Day is routinely branded racist or “problematic.” Liberals demand months for every other culture, but English heritage? That’s apparently where the line is drawn. Double standards don’t get much clearer than this.
