skill issue, as my kids would say

What’s that you say? Liz has a new book out which even the Telegraph is saying is even more unhinged than the last one? Wonderful, I’ll post this then.

Hey Gemini what is my kid's name and what does she look like, I'm at her school play and I can't figure out which one it is

I could spend the rest of my life analysing this feedback sign in the local Home Bargains. Did 'not happy' break from overuse? Was it taped over to ensure 100% positive feedback? Is the green 'b' in 'feedback' some kind of subliminal nudge? Is the duck tape indent because people still keep pressing?

This seems a very obvious point, but the result in Brazil reveals just how clean the line is between Left and Right re Interests - sure, plenty of normal people vote both sides, but the engine of the right is capital and the engine of the left is people.

the jubilee beacon was felled by the storms, enabling my son to take this rather disturbing picture of me

Nobody asked any Palestinians what they think, because our politicians and media outlets very plainly do not regard Palestinians as people. They would not have behaved the way they have for many years now, if they view Palestinians as proper human beings with rights, rather than as orcs or zombies.

mfw Liz Truss has been round for tea

ok we're letting this guy off cos he's a BBC reporter who's at least posting on here rather than the Nazi site. help the man out

come on this is taking forever

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

last RT: I see this as emblematic. David Willetts wrote a long letter to the LRB in 2011 justifying HE reforms. He wanted the argument, although "intellectual" is sous rature. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v3... Perhaps only J Johnson of his successors as Minister has any inclination in this ilk

if only there were some way that government could create twenty-seven (27) jobs without hastening catastrophic climate collapse, but I guess there just isn't. too bad.

Damn. "Contract Killers and the Far Right is an Al Jazeera Investigation that exposes the links between the right-wing student movement Turning Point UK which has organised and participated in anti-immigrant protests in the UK and an armed paramilitary who can arrange murders for money."

CETACEAN NEEDED

it's just another

I didn’t know much about about Abdul El-Sayed before watching this but I knew as soon as I’d seen it that he’d worked as a teacher — and sure enough he was an assistant professor in epidemiology. This is how you walk a student through a dumb take.

can't remember who I heard on the wireless recently saying that one of the things they value about listening to music is that it changes over time, and reminds the listener that things change

I’d you’re shocked at the damage in France to an old town hall you’ll be horrified to hear what’s happened to the beautiful old buildings and heritage of the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans

"Homer, it's really coming down. Could you check on the boys?" "They're fine."

if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher

I don’t give a fuck about what the public ‘reckon’ about diagnoses, especially when the reckoning is in large part due to a concerted media campaign over recent years.

I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

This is grotesque

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

in case you were wondering

New ableism and wellbeing research out now 👇 In 2022, we conducted sector-wide research to identify the current state of individual wellbeing within the museum workforce. The research informed the launch of a wellbeing campaign and our continued work in this area. Thread 🧵

I wish I hadn't seen this post. It is now all I can think about

Coal miners had the sense to take urgent action when their birds died They knew that an environment that couldn't support birds ultimately couldn't support them either

A genocide in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank seem to me to have presaged this development more directly than the views of 1970s Marxists.

the first MP to take the oath on a Quran was Chaudhry Sarwar in 1997. this isn’t new.

In National Treasure Book of Secrets they find a book in a secret panel at a specific shelf mark. Shelf marks aren’t static rather they relate to a book’s location within a sequence and therefore the premise of hiding something at a location indicated by a shelf mark is flawed

Earlier this year, E3G released a big report with the Department of War Studies at Kings College which showed that our dependence on gas is a major national security risk. Cutting heat pumps to fund defence is like not paying for a flu jab so you can buy lemsip. It makes no sense.

www.ukri.org/news/ukri-ba... the segue from 'UK growth and prosperity' to 'Funding for dementia' feels a little bit on the nose tbh

Oh aye, wildlife on British coinage "is a denial of history", is it now?

On BBC, a “Protect the Dolls” t shirt is erased. In the US, opening of a revered comedy show says women in the gym are dressed like whores - and still we hear talk of the oppression by “the woke” - to hell with every comic that has monetised their base by pretending they’re a free speech rebel
