Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

I am convinced there is no such thing as talent, at least not in the way the word is commonly used. What there is though, is a thing you love doing so much that you do it over and over and over again, until you are really damn good at it. and if you are lucky, you discover it early on

I concur!

I just came to say I loved that game, haven’t played it since the 90’s!! 😁

The distance from 0 to first blue is the same as the distance from second blue to 99, therefore they sum to 99.
Same goes for the two other pairs.

Hugely insightful comments, as always Ben.

Mouth twanger. #totp

I barely find time to pee at break, let alone read a novel 😕

British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read - London Daily “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

Chef’s kiss for this write up…

Ditto.
The reviews are there for a reason.
Buyer beware.

Reasons to stay on X, the child pornography site:

1. News. No point, mainly fake rwing algorithm driven/AI generated dross

2. "Holding the nazis to account "
Would you carry on buying drinks in a nazi bar?

3. "I have friends there"
Time to reconsider your friends & their choices

4. See 1-3

Absolutely 👍

Yes, a gateway drug.
After that I progressed on to Virginia Andrews 🫢

Sweet Valley High 🥰
I used to devour them.

I would still call it one step as it’s only 1 operation involving x but yes, it’s thought provoking.

😆 hello!

Oh sorry I meant to say, the 100% realistic portrayal of a day in the life of an average Math Teacher. 🤭

An audience watch a circus performance centring on an elephant standing on its hind legs upon a trapezoidal platform. A ringmaster stands beside, and a trapeze artist swings above.

#MathsToday For years I have relied on this circus image to try and help students remember the concept of a trapezium. Today, I made this with AI, and I’m kind of sad that I will never again experience the hysterical amusement caused by my inept attempts to draw an elephant by hand.

Did you watch the cringey promotional video with them?

😆 love it

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years.

Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

WOOHOOO!!! 🎉

Agree.
I have finally got used to navigating the new model (shift + 7 for pi!)
Best case scenario - it’s the current new model but with an added shortcut to convert to decimal. 👍

“Staff know what children need, but they cannot provide it. They carry the emotional fallout of systemic failure daily. Participants in my research described feeling responsible for needs that no single teacher or school could meet.”

This Alda performance is terrible in every way #TOTP

I am not sure I’ll get the same traction here as I did on the dark place but please answer and REPOST and let’s try to build a lovely bookish thread.

The best book you read this year was…

Mine undoubtedly The Elements by John Boyne (please check trigger warnings first).

This was my favourite read of ‘25.
I now need to watch the movie adaptation.
