Me: "I need to find this thing." *looks for it where I am sure it is*
Thing: *is not there.*
Me: *tears house apart, emptying every drawer and generally leaving it a total mess*
Me: Checks first place I looked.
Thing: *is there*
Folks, it gives me great pleasure to finally share my new movie, Ernie & Emma. This flick represents a return to truly independent filmmaking, and I hope you enjoy the results.
I’ll be live in these cities to introduce the movie and discuss it afterwards. See you there!

You can’t compare an out-of-work disability benefit with employment 😂
PIP is a disability benefit designed to pay for the extra cost of being disabled. A disabled person has £1000+ extra costs each month.
It’s not designed to replace work.
You can claim it whether you work or not.
You don’t claim PIP on diagnosis alone.
We’ve told you this shit enough times.
Neurotypicals: "I'm tired. I'll just go to sleep now."
ADHDers: "I am physically exhausted, but my brain is currently holding my eyes open because I haven't had enough 'Me Time' to feel satisfied with today."
@DanielKebedeNEU@bphillipsonMP It is the same MO as I saw when I started my teaching career in the early 80s from the likes of Kenneth Baker. When a Labour Secretary of State starts portraying school staff & their unions as the enemy of pupils and parents she should be deeply ashamed of herself.
Is there any evidence that adding on yet another test will improve education?
If it was the only test, there might be a case, but KS2 SATs already exist.
What does @dylanwiliam think?
His articles are in favour of non-hight stakes formative testing with feedback loops.
What I find most disappointing about this article from @bphillipsonMP is how it portrays our union - a union representing over 500,000 teachers and support staff - as obstructionist.
That’s simply wrong, and frankly, offensive.
I’ve spent my whole career teaching white working-class children. No one cares more about their progress than @NEUnion members.
More mandatory tests are not the answer.
Pigs don’t get fatter the more you weigh them - and children don’t learn to love reading by being tested repeatedly.
If we’re serious about improving outcomes for working-class pupils, we need to address the real issues:
1) Child poverty must come down
2) School funding must go up
Yet under this government, child poverty is rising and education spending as a share of GDP is at its lowest in 25 years.

So much of #edutwitter is black and white about stuff and it drives me mad. Real school life lives in the grey where the nuance, context and humanity are. If you think you’ve got all the answers, you've probably stopped asking enough questions.
The Gospel and overall theme of mass today was "You can't serve God and money". The homily and bidding prayers were about being stewards of the earth and serving the poor. I wonder how @JDVance is able to reconcile that with, you know, his whole deal.
THE BIGGEST NEWS! Rob and I are offering up a hand-signed hardback, first edition/first printing copy of Monstrous Regiment straight from the Pratchett archives. Those who know the story will know why it’s a pertinent one for this cause. (More pics later)

Pretending you've never heard of Pedro Pascal is such a deeply funny way of revealing you are extremely mad at getting called out by Pedro Pascal.
I am not by any stretch a film or TV person, and I know oodles about Pedro Pascal simply because I use the internet.
I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.
We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?
Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity.
Executive dysfunction isn’t just “avoiding discomfort” though, it also affects things you WANT to do, things that are pleasant to do. This tweet just sounds like you’re reframing the old “you’re just lazy” and “you just need to try harder”as “you’re just avoiding discomfort”.
