This is the tweet of the year for me from the brilliant @vicgoddard There really has got to be a better way for our children and for schools. #findtheotherway #WomenEd #earlyyears

Joseph Campbell said, “You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning … a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and might be,” and I’m not kidding when I say this could change lives.

Bruce Springsteen won't be silenced. He was back at it again tonight in Manchester. Still The Boss.

Benjamin Zephaniah Day: a celebration, but a call to activism too. Good to hear this on @BBCRadio4. @jeremycorbyn @MichaelRosenYes & others to speak. Among much else, some will recall Benjamin as a fine anti fascist. @AntiRacismDay @Searchlight_mag https://t.co/bXu2lZF94k

Word of the day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (19th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

So my unpopular (?) opinion is that listening to an audio book is not the same as reading, so any attempts to plug the reading gap through listening to books is unlikely to work. Experiencing a wide range of stories is important, but the medium is the message here.

“With AI you never have to draw, paint or write again!” Why does that prospect excite you? We were put on this earth to think and create. Some people are so eager to be liberated from joy.

On constant repeat with us, "Critical Thinking" is an absolute triumph! Congrats @Manics on another fantastic record 💕 Diolch to the band + @ColumbiaUK we've got some free posters, these will be going randomly with pre-orders, so pop in to see if you're a lucky winner!

Let's have some fun and play "Finish that line..." Shakespeare edition. Answer key at the end of the thread. Share your score in the replies. Let's start with an easy one. 1. From Julius Caesar: "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ____"

In the wake of Elon Musk's sideways salute to Trump, people are 'explaining' that Nazis didn't do sideways salutes. Really?

the word of the day is “kuebiko,” a feeling of being overcome with exhaustion at all the world’s horrors and a sense of resignation at your own inability to fix things.

I do this ALL the time🤦‍♀️

Merry Christmas from Manic Street Preachers. 2003 saw the release of ‘Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers’. The album featured James’ acoustic version of the Wham! classic ‘Last Christmas’, taken from TFI Friday.

This is really shit news. An astounding athlete, great man and dad - terrible for Sara their young family.
