@Suffragent_ I'd love to see your lesson plan, but I do worry that you would use AI to write it.

@TeachFMaths How can I submit suggestions?

@Bryan_n_Marv @fesshole That's eating the onion, shurely?

GROWN-UPS: Instead of asking children *what* they want to be when they're older, start asking them *who* they want to be. Let's start defining people by how they behave, not what they do. A kind cleaner is worth more than a callous banker.

Elon Musk as the head of the Department Of Government Efficiency? DOGE? Like the crypto? I want to admire that level of trolling, but honestly the whole thing is repugnant.

@juliamarygibson @JeffSharlet Heavily ironic vibe from this post. Bravo!

@heraldscotland @Lenniesaurus And, worst of all, it turns out that teaching children to hate is the hardest thing of all to teach them. Maths, reading, geography, science, dance: children can inherently see the value in learning them. And if they can't, it's easy to explain. "Why should we hate?"

Absolutely incredible that we have developed such powerful technology but some people still don't know that time passes at a regular and predictable rate

[jamie lawes @mrlawes]

Absolutely adore "pesky historian Tim Snyder" in cartoon form. @TimothyDSnyder - you've finally made it to the big leagues!

[jamie lawes @mrlawes]

Oh my goodness. Powerful stuff - and the playful delivery, if anything, makes it punch that much harder. A bracing read. @sarahkendzior - bravo! And thank you.

@CathMorriXXVI @MizLiot England has a long and proud history of welcoming people of all backgrounds! Historically, we have started by going to other countries and asking if the native people have a concept of ownership over either land or people. If they said no, then we shared our culture with them.

@wmarybeard English teacher here - and a big fan of your books! Is there a difference between "jail" and "gaol?" Apart from the spelling, obvs.

@DrAnindyaR Hold the fucking phone - can we all just disown our inheritance? Game changing if true

[jamie lawes @mrlawes]

@JohnJCrace That's nine words, John

@OwenJones84 Roses are red
Oliver Twist asked for "more"

@DrAnindyaR "Fine, Anindya." Fixed it for you.

@obadiahmurdoch8 Great banter from a guy who is definitely not a bot! Thanks, firstnamesurnamenumber

[jamie lawes @mrlawes]

I reckon teachers are pretty well prepared for this, yes. Although the insults from other teachers is much harder to take than those from students.

[jamie lawes @mrlawes]

@gdavies let me know. @AlexHorne said he'd been well up for it but that you would be too scared.

[jamie lawes @mrlawes]

TV show idea: MaskTaster. Comedians compete to cook the most delicious mask, which is then judged by Greg Davies after he eats each one off Alex Horne's face. @Channel4 hit me up for details
