@MBDscience @MathsladyScott I hope my daughter feels this proud of me too when I retire at Christmas after 38 yrs doing the job I love.

@MathsladyScott Agreed.

Erin Brockovich on data centers: “You’re pushing people too far at this point. You’re taking their water. Their air is jeopardized. Their land is jeopardized. Their sanctuary is jeopardized. Their wildlife is jeopardized. The trees, the rivers, the creeks, the birds, all of it”

Loving it. Hardly moving, a big animal with just the right amount of contact on that tree guard… Looks dry, we’ve had very little rain, but below those seeded tall species there’s plenty of green to turn into beef. Moving the cattle twice per day around the farm leaves plants to capture dew and reduce evaporation: the small water cycle. Eat real red meat and animal fat; buy the best you can.

8,000 missiles. 250,000 drones. £3 billion a year in military support. A remarkable legacy of UK support for Ukraine under Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Thank you, Britain. 🇬🇧 @GBNEWS

Gorgeous female Linnet. 😍 Taken recently at Martin's Haven in Pembrokeshire. 😊🐦

There will be no bailing out today or any other day.

HODGES: When families in Moscow or St. Petersburg start seeing their little Ivan sent off to an army after mass mobilization, on top of gas shortages throughout Russia, on top of seeing smoke from burning refineries, then Russians will know that war has come to their front door.

Putin is down to two options: print money or go bankrupt. One kills the economy slowly, the other instantly — but both end the same way: an army collapsing when the pay stops, just like 1917. Guided Links: Russian_war_economy Ruble_crisis Army_morale

Trump’s former NSA John Bolton in 2024: “XI Jinping and Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, and others, they think he’s a laughing fool. And they’re fully prepared to take advantage of him. Trump’s self-absorption makes it impossible for him to understand that.”

@Miss_Snuffy Education went backwards under @bphillipsonMP more than that-she had opportunities for example to do away with Ofsted- that she didn't take- which means education is still trapped in a past time warp. We need radical thinking to improve education for the future. 🤔😃

Bridget Phillipson is the worst Education Secretary the country has ever known. HALF A MILLION POUNDS!!! 🤯

@AdamJoseph The football wasn't much better. All the matches I watched this world cup (with the exception of the third place kick off) I felt to be as exciting as 'watching paint dry'-what I don't understand is how this can happen with supposedly the best players in the world playing?🤔😢

Wayne Rooney on the half-time show. “I like a lot of them artists, but I thought it was crap.” Best commentator on the BBC broadcast & has been the breakout pundit of the tournament. Authentically speaks his mind & knows the modern game. He's a treasure.

A librarian told me she still remembers the first book she ever recommended that actually worked. A boy, ten years old, who'd never finished one. She handed him something about survival in the wild, almost as an afterthought. He was back two days later asking if there was a sequel. That was thirty years ago. She said she still chases that feeling with every child who walks up to her desk.

I know this tragic story of Katie has hit the whole profession hard. It’s so sad we’ve lost another incredible teacher because of a system obsessed with inspecting everything apart from the wellbeing of the people working in it. How many more times does this have to happen?

After the racist abuse Saka, Rashford and Sancho endured following Euro 2020, seeing Saka score a hat-trick (the 3rd from the penalty spot) to help England secure third place at the World Cup is a beautiful thing. Dignity and talent will always outshine prejudice.

This World Cup has been horrible. Four quarters is horrible. The corruption is horrible. This final is horrible. Half time is going to be horrible. Please can the USA never host a World Cup again. They have their own sports, which are very fine. They do not need to ruin ours.

Glad Spain have won it. At least they were trying to play football but what a terrible World Cup final 🏆 #SPAARG

Terrible, embarassing behaviour by the Argentinians after losing to a much better team.

One of the things my teachers appreciated was that we usually had a weekend between PrePlanning and Day One. I opened my school buildings on that Saturday and Sunday for about 6 hours each day. Admin team took shifts. I begged my teachers not to come in but I knew some would be stressed without the extra time.

We have the annual SATS madness of 10/11 year olds clearly understanding a reading text but not getting marks because of a ridiculously prescriptive mark scheme. There has to be a better way.
