Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

@IGMansfield @Mrs_SPaG 1300 is fine; 1200 is a stretch!! And I studied Medieval English!

My favourite character is Samwise. The real centre of the films, esp the speech about ‘there’s some good in the world’. Not in the book but it’s the very heart of the story. Perfection!

No fan of Belichick (even though he helped the Giants win two SBs) but he should be a shoo-in for HoF first ballot.

@XDarthThunderX @Jock4twenty Luke! Fix the trommel! We gotta get back to washin’ rocks!

Bold prediction for #TheTraitorsUK … they’re gonna pull a Murder on the Orient Express on us. At elimination time they won’t be allowed to say if they’re traitors or faithful. Why? Because EVERYONE ELSE is a Secret Traitor but they all think they’re the only one. Huge if true.

Hello @VictoriaCoren did you say ‘specialty’ on tonight’s show instead of ‘speciality’?

@GCSE_Macbeth Had to reiterate this to a kid this week. Studying ACC and AIC means a lot of them conflate Priestley’s opposition to capitalism with Dickens’ message of generosity. The kid really struggled to wrap his head around the fact that Dickens was OK with capitalism!

A map of that there London showing fictional characters, and where they're from.

@TheBrochProject @EHChalus Are you on Blue Sky?

@dylanwiliam @olicav @P_A_Kirschner Ultimately, design principles in visual media that is essentially static (or episodically static; it really doesn’t matter) have been effective for a long time. Oliver’s principles are essentially the same. Simple, clutter-free, deliberate, white space, limited type palette.

@TychoBrahe No, other way round. Troll was good; Troll Hunter was promising and then bobbins

[Gareth Richards 🖤 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @Gareth101]

@TychoBrahe Have seen Troll and Troll Hunter, both a wee while ago now. Can’t remember which was which but one was great until the troll appeared; the other one with the king in it was much better. I think the more pants one was Troll.

[Gareth Richards 🖤 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @Gareth101]

oh dear @Ford very poor taste on your behalf (or tasteless timing by @Channel4) to have your Ranger ad (towing a tree) immediately after the end of the Sycamore Gap programme. Very poor show.

[Gareth Richards 🖤 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @Gareth101]

@dylanwiliam @olicav @P_A_Kirschner Slides are merely a series of static media. Animating text into a slide allows control of the info release, but they’re not movies. Very little difference in essence btwn slides and eg elevator panels or digital six sheets. Ultimately slides are sequential transient static media.

[Gareth Richards 🖤 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @Gareth101]

@olicav @dylanwiliam @P_A_Kirschner From advertising background and all these principles ring true. White space and lack of clutter, clear headlines, visual alignment all important for message to be seen and absorbed. No different for editorial layout. Spot colour often more effective than full.

@GCSE_Macbeth @SPryke2 @TeacherBusy @Bruff I’m sure someone somewhere has written a sequel set in modern times where a near 200 year old Tiny Tim lives on in agony as an immortal, desiccated Mumm-Ra type evil villain, dryly rasping ‘God bless us…God bless us’ as he rocks, hiding from the light like Lestat.

@localcreatura You are not alone! (rocking horse moves of its own accord)

@simongerman600 That’s terrifying!
