It’s truly insane how I’ll still stay stuff to my five year old like “hang on mate, you’ve been saying you’re hungry all afternoon, and now you won’t eat your dinner” as if he’s going to turn around and go “that’s such a good point yeah. You’ve bested me with logic this time”

[Joe Connell @josephsconnell]

@EduSum That’s a concerning thing to have to post

[Joe Connell @josephsconnell]

Always really enjoy the Australian Open, not least because it gives me the right annual dose of tennis interest, and I can now leave that season behind for another year.

@michelappleton Our kids have all their stationary provided at school by school and leave at school. I feel like they’re really missing out on something

[Joe Connell @josephsconnell]

@benmackey Looks awks without a lectern and with cards in hand like that

Refreshments for MPs at Select Committees fall victim to vicious budget cuts.

The Ancient Greeks had two words for time:

1. Chronos = sequential, quantitative time

2. Kairos = fluctuating, qualitative time

Here's why you need to understand kairos...

@DanieBeukman My children just lost the game

[Joe Connell @josephsconnell]

Important question. You’re playing that game where there’s a concept that’s stuck to your head. You don’t know what it is and you have to ask questions to figure it out.

Concept is: New Zealand.
You ask: Am I a cloud?

What’s the correct answer?

[Joe Connell @josephsconnell]

@DanieBeukman I also just lost the game

So long +64 and thanks for all the fish (and chips)
