There is a significant amount of evidence and, indeed, the Finnish education system that shows homework is irrelevant and doesn't help young people learn. Many of these debates are predicated on the erroneous assumption that education is the same as schooling and schooling is sacred. It isn't.

Palantir is an interesting choice of name for a company. Originally, in Lord of the Rings, Palantirs were a magical far seeing face time. They were usurped by Sauron to ensnare the feeble minded. Even the wise were at risk. Life following fiction.

If the UK was really, really smart, it would now plough tens of billions into research centres and take in all the American academics fleeing the US. Spoiler: the UK is not smart. 🇬🇧

@jeremyandstormon5.bsky.social The first Band Aid was a response to an emergency that enabled people to contribute and feel like they were doing something to help. Subsequent ones are about raising money for ongoing charities. long term dependence on charity can be damaging and not enabling.
