It also completely destroys the teaching opportunity for educators in identifying eccentric error: faced with pat, anodyne, literally correct but soulless work, how are they meant to illicit any novel discoveries from their students from said mistakes?

Seeing this on my feed has made me finally click open a tab and do something I should've done ages ago -- joined the @greenparty.org.uk

Reeves et al don't give a shit about the future health of this world and of the people who will have to live in it. And they think that makes them cool.

Oh no

Just started reading The Count of Monte Cristo. This Dantes guy seems to really have it made!

You know something? Not enough Reckonings have parts

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Screenshot of text reading "Millionaire exodus did not occur, study reveals"

Surprise surprise – the myth of the “millionaire exodus” has been conclusively debunked as misinformation spread by those who don’t want to see wealth taxed fairly (because they’ve got a lot of it!)

Time for the govt to stop hiding behind this excuse and bring in a wealth tax

Also Warren constantly humiliated with every production decision and then the plot too - “can you run in a brace and fur coat and then just give up because you’re surrounded? But then when you’re cowering against a wall can you spit and dribble?”

rewatching PA's masterpiece STATE OF PLAY, considering it so hard to say something nu abt brilliance of script, prod, edit, has a corner of the internet noted the outsized achievement of the nose-blood of Marc Warren in the series? Looks like the guy was genuinely punched in the face for every take.

Trump take Musk

Magic Circle readmits magician who disguised herself as a man, 30 years later Sophie Lloyd, who was expelled in 1991 when her deception was exposed, accepts belated apology from the society

20 years ago this would have made a pretty good studio comedy. It you wrote it today I feel like you’d have to be very careful not to turn it into a sneering bit of propaganda entertainment for the Worst People on the Internet.

“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

[just thinking about a regular-sized brother] life is pretty good!

GEORGE ORWELL: do y'wanna see something really fucked up?

Trump officials fume at Zelenskyy for disregarding advice before meeting Officials say minerals deal would serve as commitment to US security guarantee and Ukraine leader shouldn’t have pressed issue

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If it’s true, which I doubt, that Trump was going through checks and balances, following ministerial procedure on a path to intended security guarantees, the *very least* you can say about these galaxy brain dealmakers is that their comms aren’t fit for purpose.

Elon Musk's Takeover Is Being Aided by a Trumpworld Power Couple Stephen and Katie Miller—he's "the prime minister," sources say; she's DOGE's comms guru—liaise between the White House and Elon Musk, and are centrally involved as he tears the government apart.

i want you to read the last few paragraphs and see if you're reading the same thing between these lines that i am

When actually, specificity and some might call parochialism in British drama often proves the most exportable and profitable in international markets

I mean, quite, but as the original thread also seems to indicate, PSBs have a habit of ignoring what can be done with very little, instead sticking to a completely unsustainable doom loop of ploughing big money it doesn’t have into huge Atlantic-facing deals and productions

Fantastic Thread (unfortunate pun). really makes me think there should be space for reevaluation of bringing back something like Play for Today on the PSBs. Something where you can keep the costs down but you can attract writers from across the experience spectrum with invention born out of economy

Want to know what evil is? It's having $400 billion—and being projected to earn $600 billion more over the next 4 years—and knowing that you could awaken every morning for a month and point to a country and say I will end all hunger THERE without denting your lifestyle at all and instead you do this

‘We have to reset’: Britain’s TV industry struggling in big-budget streaming era Some see ‘tipping point’ as BBC and others are priced out of high-end dramas, as others say industry must simply adapt From the star of the Golden Globe-winning series Wolf Hall taking a major pay cut, to the BBC shelving premium TV projects due to a…

‘We have to reset’: Britain’s TV industry struggling in big-budget streaming era

Been seeing some prominent folks, including mutuals(!!!), posting Gen AI “art” of Trump in various states of humiliation. I understand the impulse, but this is abetting theft of labor. Gen AI is founded on organized crime by the tech industry. Please, just don’t do it. It’s wrong.

My Nana used to say “there’s no pockets in shrouds” which is basically the same as “You can’t take it with you”. Weirdly, I was sat on a plane once with an elderly American woman. She turned out to be MAGA but nevertheless offered the evocative alternative: “you can’t attach a trailer to a hearse”

Ermmm…?

KEIRBOT 3000 DOES NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN BUT LOOK, MY DAD WAS A TOOLMAKER AND WE HAVE A MISSION TO END THIS TORY CHAOS AND UP THE GUNNERS

Just stumbled into peak Millenial dad-dom. Rare pint out away from baby and pub hifi started pumping out “two doors down” by mystery jets. Cried.

Enjoyed (if that’s the right word) “Anatomy of Lies” but, even if it’s a less proximate Gray’s pun, I do think they should have been bolder and gone with “Diagnosis: Liar”

There should be a special detector on Instagram for when you’re pissed that stops you from commenting ❤️ on your school friends stories (who you haven’t seen for at least a decade) which is just them sat in front of the tv saying “Friday!”
