interested in the growing genre of guy who's like "im excited for lab grown meat because it will rectify the civilizational sin of factory farming" but is not currently a vegetarian

BREAKING: A new Pope has been chosen

Harari is pseudo intellectual masquerading shallow freshmen-year-in-college-while-high “insights” as some kind of profound new “discoverers”.

Richard Webster's dismissal of Freud is beyond brutal.

@tombennett71 This is probably the biggest issue with activists in education.

They don’t know what a classroom or a school is like. So they have to imagine it.

And they imagine it whilst cross - with the intention of being cross - and so they imagine the thing that will make them crossest.

@helenrey @cogscisci I do think that school leaders over emphasis on books has caused this. Not students themselves. What message are we sending children when we do book scrutiny about what we value most in education.

@adamboxer1 Something like this

[Tommy 🙋🏻‍♂️ @ProudlyPastoral]

The sector is still reeling from a HT suicide, fuelled by harsh judgements of the school.

At the same time, a HT tweets a picture of a corridor that in 24hrs has had 1m views, over 800 comments. All sorts of horrible accusations/comments.

Do we only care when it's too late?

It is once again that time of the year. Here are my fave tweets of 2023:

[Brooklyn Nine-Nine @brooklyn99]

Always our Captain. We love you, Andre.

[Tom Sherrington @teacherhead]

Any critique that bemoans rote learning or regurgitating facts, uses Gradgrindian/Dickensian to describe schooling or leans on prison/factory associations.. has already diminished itself to the extent that it can’t be a serious piece worth anyone’s time.
Lazy. Out of touch.

[OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical]

The practice of people having literally no idea what they’re talking about making definitive judgements about complex situations with little information is alive and well.

I would say it’s a twitter phenomenon, but I’m completely seeing it with traditional media right now.

[Oliver Traldi @olivertraldi]

The funniest thing about this is that this person was going to biglaw in the first place. You build this public image bleating about how revolution requires killing civilians or whatever and meanwhile your own life centers around banking $235,000 a year representing corporations.

@Alby @CarolineLucas @StopSizewellC Today, without wind or sun, the UK has ended up purchasing the peak demand excess from nuclear power generated in Europe (at a rate more expensive than our own domestic nuclear). I think @Greens4Nuclear need to have a word.

“Mathematics is as much part of our cultural heritage as art, literature, and music. As humans, we have a hunger to discover something new, reach new meaning, understand better the universe and our place in it.”

I, an education academic, eschew these ideas that help teachers because I wouldn't need them if I were to teach – which of course I don't. If I were to teach – which, remember, I don't – I would teach brilliantly and without the use of these teaching aids. If only I taught, eh?
