So long and thanks for all the fish.
I've pretty much completely moved to BlueSky now.
Find me there. Just search my name.

My wife is a trustee of @CarersWorldwide an international charity supporting unpaid carers. It's tough here but where there are minimal resources its often intolerable. We'd love it if you donated at Christmas - the money is needed and will be well spent.

@mrawolfe @CofE_EduLead Oh wow thank you, Andy.

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

@LeeDon1982 I have exactly those glasses.

Ben gave this talk to our @CofE_EduLead Flourishing Trusts Network last week. It’s visionary, pragmatic, challenging and encouraging.

If you’re interested in ways we can prioritise the vulnerable and the reasons that we must, then take a read - it was electric in the room.

It looks as if the clown did finally crash the clown car.

@benjrooney @informed_edu I think it'll be different but the conversation will be there. Less in one place. More spread out. Which might well be better.

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

@benjrooney @informed_edu But I've been wrong on this before!

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

@benjrooney @informed_edu My bet is it is going to be Bluesky and it's over for twitter now.

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

Also on Bluesky now:

@JamesTheo Is it still invite only?

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

I'm off. Find me on threads. ben.newmark
It's the Musk thing.
Will check DMs for a bit.

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

@bernywern Genuine moral question as to whether to keep using twitter now. And especially worrying given how clearly unstable he is.

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

Hope as part of Labour’s
Curriculum review they look to Scotland and learn from the significant mistakes that have been made there and what not to do. Both falling standards and a widening attainment gap for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds is truly depressing.

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

It's utterly bonkers that Elon Musk has the influence he does, especially given how clearly unstable he is. Continuing to use twitter feels like a genuine moral issue now.

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

@c_j_read Thank you! Ordered it.

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

I'm looking into Desi pubs for something I'm working on. Anyone aware of any books, stuff available on YouTube or elsewhere about them?
