Honestly, decisions are wildly overrated. Estimate how much time you use making decisions, and that is time you’d save. I’ve worked hard to remove as many decisions as physically possible from my life and it’s so freeing!

One of the talks being hosted at the SuperheroEd National Conference 2026, a grassroots conference, taking the hidden pedagogy from caped legends
In my new Edubook,

"Educating Gotham: not all teachers wear capes"

I will explore the impact of the Batman Effect as I ask teachers to don capes in an effort to secure outstanding behaviour.

Available in bookstores eventually.
The Batman effect: A female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train. In the experimental condition, an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door. Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%).

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Best choice if pregnant and using public transport: dress as Batman
Ah, that makes more sense. When I first saw this study mentioned, I thought it said people were more likely to offer a seat *to Batman* than to a pregnant woman.

It probably says something about my past experience as a pregnant person on Metro that I found that idea plausible.

I’m excitedly researching how I can buy a YouTube premium family account from Turkey for a FIFTH of the UK price.

If it works, see you later, Spotify! Cheerio, Ads!

I’m not sure how I would deal with being found to have been responsible for 23k deaths, but I think it would likely involve removing myself from public life and finding some way to help save lives.

One of my tasks today is to write 48 puns. What a dream job; I’m glad I leaned more into humour in my games.

My ‘Games I want’ list is too long now!

It suddenly occurred to me that I could save a fortune if I road tested some of these at a games cafe first; I have two nearby!
