"Hey handsome. Why not come over to my place and eat the fried breadcrumbs I'm covered in?" she said, croquettishly.

I think we should confiscate all his wealth for this weird shit ALONE

Nigel Farage says Britain's eachers 'poisoning our kids' and predicts a teachers' strike as PM GlAean

I'll not even consider paying attention to anything Farage has to say about what happens in primary schools until *every* member of his party is legally allowed to be within 50ft of one

Benjamin Zephaniah was the best.

Turns out that when Americans said "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German now..." their objection was to learning a second language, not fascism.

Screenshot of a PinkNews article headline reading “17-year-old trans girl’s suicide over NHS wait times was preventable, coroner rules.” The article is dated October 9 and written by Amelia Hansford. The PinkNews logo appears at the top in pink and black.

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

And in tonight's episode of Lewis Carroll with Colin Farrell: Tweedledum and Tweedledee with Heidi Klum and Mr. T, the Mad Hatter with Sepp Blatter, and the Frumious Bandersnatch with Benedict Cumberbatch.

I've said it before: anyone who runs down the job that teachers do, even for such nakedly political reasons rather than from any real place of conviction, (a) should try surviving even a fucking WEEK of it themselves and (b) should then go to the bottom of a well.

Can't stop laughing at 'the uncaring maw of a MRI'

Crucially, @mark-bray.bsky.social is a historian. This is why fascists hate, defund & try to discredit the Humanities. We know how power operates, how lies are constructed, & we are experts at deciphering archives and keeping the stories they contain - including those the powerful want dead - alive.

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Showing my age that I looked at this and got earwormed with "I Don't Like Mondays".

A great article from Rachel, who really understands the heart and soul of Dad’s work.

SCOOP: Apple Quietly Made ICE Agents a Protected Class Internal emails show tech giant used anti-hate-speech rules meant for minorities to block an app documenting immigration enforcement.

You cannot be fucking serious

a) an English degree does not prevent you from getting and doing a [scare quote] real job [scare quote]
b) there are things, goals, and values in the world other than money
but also c) last year the publishing industry's estimated worth to the UK economy was ELEVEN BILLION QUID.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Thread. 🫤

Headline: Badenoch: Curb students taking ‘rip off’ degrees such as English

Kemi Badenoch branded chocolate including the slogan “When Labour negotiates Britian loses”

Just to be clear, an English degree - learning to critically assess texts - is actually one of the most dangerous for people such as Badenoch.

An educated population, able to bring hundreds of years of context to statements in a dawning age of AI slop and attention-seeking dishonesty is also vital.

whatever the arguments against AI (and they are many and valid), it is also shit.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

That

Point.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Nothing says "I want independent judges" like threatening to sack any judge who disagrees with you, while holding up a judge's wig like a puppet

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.
