just discovered a fanfiction which is a crossover of Taskmaster and The Prisoner, and it's creepily perfect

A heading in the high school career night seems to say β€œALUMNI BOIS”, which surprised me, but it turned out to actually say β€œALUMNI BIOS”.

We had a CPD about young people sharing intimate photos and at the end I put my hand up and ask, like just to be clear here, it *is* a crime to share these photos right?

πŸ“–A few years ago I wrote a book about the materials that make the world go round.
It was pretty relevant then. I think it's still pretty relevant (maybe even more relevant) today.
Anyway it's on offer TODAY ONLYπŸ‘‡
Have a read & let me know what you think shorturl.at/ONyBZ

I think "pupils" sounds stupid and I'll never say it 🀣

Interesting that they go so hard on this being a "trend" that is "dangerous" and not so much on a "crime" that is "illegal"

Sorry but if someone's child does something THAT stupid in a country where everyone has guns, they kinda deserve everything that happens. Actions have consequences eh

Every AI evangelist makes it sound like I’m basically gonna be a witch in a decade because I can still tell time, make change, write cursive, read/write/speak multiple languages, read maps, hold focus for longer than two seconds, do math in my head, engage with culture

In my homeland, we say "students" the same way Brits say "pupils" so that ain't gonna wash with me.

I had that a while back and my vitamin D levels were on the floor.

Sometimes there is a reason!

I've been laughing solidly for about half an hour at this gif I found in response to some facetiousness in the family chat. My new favourite gif 🀣

My local beloved fee-paying school closed in 2017, and it's all Labour's fault

I know we love to shit on social media algorithms (and rightly so, generally) but this year the Facebook doomscroll algorithm gave me Taskmaster and it is my newest delightful obsession so I am eternally grateful!

Two quote tweets. The first says "β€œThe soulless resume builder bug Asians you knew in high school? Yeah we just gave them everything, fuck you, son.”"

The other shows a photo of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and says "Revive it immediately."

Two quote tweets. The first is from Richard Spencer, which reads: "I genuinely prefer the Affirmative Action regime to dead-eyed β€œmeritocracy.”"

The other reads: "The yellow striver seethes in mathematics because Americans don’t want dog-eating fact memorizers taking over their institutions"

Two quote tweets. The first reads: "Mandarinization in the classroom results almost immediately in the Mandarinization of β€œhigh” society"

The second reads: "If a world war broke out tomorrow, how many of these people would fight for America? Troubling extrapolation."

Given the backlash to his photo, I encourage Asian people to gather in groups and make-up stories about them taking over some traditional WASP institution, just to make racists mad. "Went to a fancy dinner and everyone was part of the Daughters of the American Revolution."
