When every other ad on YouTube is Google pushing their #AI companion, you know they’re DESPERATE to get you on it. I’ve never seen a company pushing any product so hard. Makes you wonder why

Guardian headline: Israel killed 15 paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN Subheading: Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office

What will it take for the UK government to stop facilitating genocide?

There’s a little bit of land behind my apartment block. No one does much with it. Planted these hyacinth bulbs (a gift) because… why not? They’re up and smell so good. This is how it begins…

Classy.

After a council tax hike too. They’re shameful. Biggest disappointment in a long time.

Another brilliant day with Mrs Parr, @chrismould.bsky.social - writing and illustration

A great start to our Year 4 Roman Creative day with our @chrismould.bsky.social and Nik Perring @appletonacademy.bsky.social . Wonderful preparation for Our Roman topic

Israeli tanks have entered the occupied West Bank for the first time in 20 years.

Over 40,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced. This is ethnic cleansing & annexation.

Israel must be held to account. We need a full arms embargo, & all economic & diplomatic ties severed.

Charity shop haul.

Keir Starmer restores whip to Labour rebel MPs - but some left out Keir Starmer suspended the group of seven Labour MPs in July 2024 after they supported an SNP amendment to the King's Speech to scrap the Tory two-child benefit limit

I've just found out from this article that my whip still hasn't been restored.

Turns out speaking up for Palestine is still a punishable offence.

fun fact: that palestine march in washington, in january, 2024? estimated crowd sizes put it at 300k-400k.

the 1963 march on washington that preceded MLK's "I have a dream" speech had an estimated crowd of 250k.

there's a lot of reporting on the '63 march. the palestine march? buried.

I’m not in black too much these days. It’s slimming. A return is tempting.

Last week, close to tears, hearing young people read their poems inspired by a Srebrenica survivor’s story to him. We were filmed too.

Last week, teaching teachers interesting and fun ways to teach creative writing. Loads of fun. Brilliant results. Avoided an 80 mile detour, which was welcome.

David Lynch.

I’ve said, for years, Gaiman is only good at 1) telling others’ stories, and 2) putting a thousand different covers on them to make as much money as possible. I think we’re all seeing who he really is. Greedy. Predatory. Psychopath.

Thanks!

I was talking about Lincoln. But, yeah, Trump too

I guess he was great if you weren’t native. Or black.
