Snort 😆 🤣
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Joy. That's what is missing way too often from the current discourse on learning and education. I don't mean being overtly happy all the time, nor having endless fun at school (as if!), but an underlying belief that learning can be a joyful, engaging process, not just stuffing more into your memory.

Marking the er… Spring festival of er… Labour Day
In today's issue of "things you didn't know you needed" (and probably wished you could unsee) 😬
I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.
Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?
But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.
