Blame it on MEI

MEI requires first in the list to be the pivot

That’ll be me 🙌

Interesting. It may be worth it for other subjects but there’s so much available online for Maths for free. Students may prefer having everything in one place however

Sorry I have no experience with it - interested to hear what other people say though

I rated Hamnet (2025) 8/10 #IMDb Jessie Buckley is Agnes, wife to Bill Shakespeare and mother of Hamnet, a child who inspires Hamlet. Chloé Zhao’s direction is excellent, as is Buckley’s performance. It doesn’t shy away from the dirt and grime and isn’t a particularly pleasant watch. Deserves awards

Let’s do it!!

The joy of not having a huge team in writing text books is that we spend significant time working through each others sections. Id show you my workings but my writing is scruffy.

@tlmaths.bsky.social

We get asked when we find time to write the @tlmaths.bsky.social textbooks. We work full time, I'm a unionist and now a green party activist.

Jack sensibly uses the evenings.

Me, well nothing better than 4.30am maths.

Much better

Nothing exciting I’m afraid. It’s only ever meant Teaching and Learning. I leant the moniker to my colleague who wanted to do YouTube Physics lessons like me.

I rated Marty Supreme (2025) 8/10 #IMDb Timothée Chalamet is Marty Mauser, an unscrupulous ping pong hustler who’d throw anybody under a bus to get ahead. It’s an entertaining film with lots of “Oh no, what now?” moments - there’s a hint of the Coens in there. It’s 2h30m but you won’t notice.

Does anyone know if there is a physics equivalent to @tlmaths.bsky.social , i.e a video tutorial for the entire content. They go on PMT for past papers etc but don't know where to look for help

TLPhysics This is a channel dedicated to videos relating to AQA A level physics. The aim is to cover the course in bite size chunks, with theory and model exam questions Please feel free to like and subscri...

TLPhysics is an option - I don’t know the Physics content but my colleague has quite a number of videos that may help: youtube.com/@tlphysics?s...

I rated Song Sung Blue (2025) 9/10 #IMDb Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are Lightning and Thunder, a Neil Diamond tribute act. I didn’t know anything about the true story - it’s really well acted by all and the songs are great. Really enjoyable. The best thing I’ve seen with Jim Belushi in it!

I rated A Grand Day Out (1989) 7/10 #IMDb Wallace and Gromit’s first adventure takes them to the moon in search of cheese. The look of Wallace is a little weird if you’ve seen any other of their films, but the attention to detail and the looks of long-suffering Gromit are great.

I rated Evita (1996) 5/10 #IMDb Madonna is Eva Perón of Argentina. The film looks great but Andrew Lloyd Webber’s songs haven’t aged well. It has one great song and the rest are all pretty rubbish. And you’ll need to read Eva Perón’s Wikipedia to really know what’s going on. And Jimmy Nail is in it.

I rated A Man Called Otto (2022) 8/10 #IMDb Tom Hanks is a right grump as Otto, the man on the street who keeps everything in place. It’s a strong dark comedy with a well-drawn and fun supporting cast. Very enjoyable

9 (my favourites):
A Complete Unknown
F1

1/7

I rated Anaconda (2025) 5/10 #IMDb Childhood friends Jack Black and Paul Rudd travel to the Amazon to film a remake of Anaconda. There’s a few laughs to be had (most of which are in the trailer unfortunately), and Jack Black is very watchable. Bit of fun that’ll be forgotten about in a week.
