'transform' can mean a lot of things so this is actually pretty hard to argue with

Is Lula winning?

LK really is a woeful interviewer, uninterested in anything other than clips for X

Hmm. I should play mass effect finally

This is just the latest example of the right doing incredible mental gymnastics to insist that “the elite” doesn’t include any of the government, any of the main political parties, the ultra wealthy or the media, but does include teachers, students and baristas

Adam Mitchell and Claire Fox on the BBC advocating simultaneously for integration *and* for keeping migrants locked into their current jobs for 15 years on pain of deportation. What do these people think integration is? Vibes? Essays?

Sir David Bell has published this independent review of how schools and colleges handle antisemitism. It makes 27 recommendations, which the government has accepted. A fifth of pupils - and 6/10 Jewish pupils - had experienced or witnessed antisemitism at school www.gov.uk/government/g...

Netanyahu is a genocidal war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but Jews were not considered ethnic Poles based on the Polish government, and Polish Jewish last names were forced on families against their will. This kind of conspiratorial rhetoric about Jews faking their identity is gross.

I love the “not everyone can afford headphones” line. As if it’s obligatory to play shitty TikTok’s on public transport and you can’t possibly be expected to go 10 minutes without assaulting your eyeballs with mindless crap

Astonishing cope here. PISA doesn't measure rote learning, it is not based on the English curriculum. It relies heavily on comprehension and applying knowledge to a new context.

These videos of mobs destroying shops and businesses while their owners are forced to watch in France are heart rending

"it's a social contagion" the insular british elite tells us as they drive themselves howlingly mad on fascist-owned media

aaaahhhhhhhh policyexchange.org.uk/publication/... h/t @igmansfield.bsky.social

There is a point in this video where the viewer is invited to pause and take up to 20 minutes to guess what the guy will say next. I would not have guessed it in that time.

It is *wild* to me that in the humanities there are top universities are still doing take-home exams. Apparently it's a cost-saving thing. I wonder if employers know, or whether they could start requiring disclosure, or whether grads might start saying on their CVs that they had closed book tests...

The idea that this would be a "catastophic burden" on the economy is a real zombie fact. Even on the worst case (and wrong) scenarios dreamt up by anti-migration think-tanks it is not close to "catastrophic".

Sky News journalist thinks that a gov press officer including their pronouns and the generic "why this is important" link in their email signature is a threat to... civil service impartiality?? These people have gone completely mad.

"“we are all, well many of us, are certainly immigrants to some extent. My name’s an unusual one but I think my ancestors just caught an earlier boat than other people’s. This country’s been built by great immigrants" Robert Jenrick's first national campaign in Newark, 2014 byelection

There's no depth to which this guy won't sink in order to further his pathetic career.

We're already at war with Russia, exhibit 2342:

I don’t know if anyone remembers former Labour councillor, change UK defector, and regular Twitter main character Frances Weetman, or her creepy reply guy, occasional Twitter main character and arch-transphobe Alex ‘Rubie’ Rubner but they’ve just had a massive falling out over race science. part 1/2

Found myself liking M&S clothes more and more, am I old now?

Realising you can eat kiwi skin is genuinely life changing and always good for getting dirty looks in the office.

If there is no inheritance tax on family homes, does that incentivise old people never to downsize?

There is a local anti-asylum/anti-migration protest in Shettleston, in the east end of Glasgow, involving perhaps a hundred people, with hoodies + masks (not the same kind of balaclava mob ... but a more local group), with some attempts to block roads leading to arrests.

It is deeply irresponsible for any politician, let alone a senior Conservative, to peddle the same far-right nonsense about Luton that we see from the likes of Yaxley Lennon and Reform.
