Next door has been empty for months (sold STC) and now their smoke alarm low battery warning has been beeping every 30 seconds since Saturday evening. ARRRRGGHHHHHH. (yes I've spoken to the estate/letting agent who promised they would come out today but obviously haven't...๐Ÿ™„)

Nice easy one, I think. Feels like even though I came up with it myself, it's probably been written many times before.

If there's one thing you watch today, make it this

Bob Geldof criticises Israel for what they're doing in Gaza

Then criticises Trevor Philips for making excuses for what Israel is doing in Gaza

Read this in one sitting. This should be compulsory reading for anyone in education, and in fact for everyone. Just incredible.

I've gone from exam marking whilst dancing to NSYNC in May to marking sprawled on my sofa with murder documentaries playing in the background. I'm so over this now ๐Ÿ˜‚

Maths teachers...a polite request from an examiner - please can you stop telling your students to not leave any question blank. Thanks.

AI'm not doing the homework In the age of AI permeating everything, is homework, as we know it, dead?

How do we make sure homework is still valuable when AI can 'do it for them?' Excellent post from @drcastelino.bsky.social

I love that you feel like you're sat in the room with them. I started with Friends, but I don't know if I can get through the cringey first few series to get to the better ones! I might have to revert to the comfort of Craig and Denise.

Royle Family, Gavin & Stacey or Friends for background TV whilst exam marking? Or...and this is a curve ball...Keeping Up Appearances?

I will die on the same hill as you over this. Yes, it's all rather clever. Yes, it's a great tool for certain things. But at what cost? Just because we can use AI, doesn't mean we should. We seem to have lost all critical thinking over this already and it's only the beginning ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Is it realistic that 909 voters voted for Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and two voters chose to vote for Kamala Harris in Rockland County NY district 55?

That's what the election results say, according to
