If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

If this were in a sector in which the PM could go and do a photoshoot looking like One Of The People, we’d have had a government intervention by now.

It’s amazing what imaginary fairyland these fascists cook up in their heads about what goes on in classrooms, lecture theatres, seminar rooms, as if overworked teachers do anything other than keep their heads above water. No: this is about their fear of education, of learning: our greatest weapon.

'Nigel Farage [serving the interests of his Clacton constituents in Michigan] has claimed teachers would go on strike within weeks of a Reform UK election win, and accused them of “poisoning our kids” by telling them that black children are victims and white children oppressors.' 1/2

Scotland welcomes new Scots. This brilliant wee coffee and cake van is run by a lovely Czech girl named Sovi. What a brilliant addition to Inchnapamph and what an amazing place for a cuppa.

You think you’re raising your kids right and then your eldest turns around and declares that Huntzburger is the best of Rory’s boyfriends on Gilmore Girls. Like wtf how did I raise her so badly.

I, however,
Have such meagre power,

Clutching at a
Moment,

While you control
An hour.

But your hour is
A stone.

My moment is
A flower.

-Langston Hughes, "Poet to Bigot"
#everynightapoem As ever.

I have done so little
For you.
And you have do little
For me.
That we have good reason
Never to agree.
