Made an offhand comment about 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon' in class today.
Of course no one had heard of it so explained and asked for a suggested actor.
Was given Al Pacino and realised my brain is broken and took a staggering, shocking and alarming amount of time for me to make the connection.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I am a member of a parents WhatsApp group for one of my son's clubs. One of the parents in the group leaves voice notes rather than texts and I think that is full blown psychotic behaviour.

One detail here is that all the clips are of them just sitting motionless, waiting, riding; there's no "action" like you might see in other military hype videos because the "action" ICE takes is all just horrific violence against civilians. can't put that in the video!

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

I've been excited for a while to watch Raiders with the ten year old but he's had very little interest when I try to explain it. Then I thought, 'what am I doing?' and just left the case lying around. The artwork did all the heavy lifting and now I'm fielding questions about the film non stop 🤣

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment.

Wherever I fly into Des Moines I always feel like fully half the place has never flown before in their lives. The disembarking pace would get you MURDERED in other airports.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Almost properly kicked off in Aldi after the person in front of me at the till was asked for id and I was not (I have not been asked for id in years but, come on, nothing I did today deserved that).

No Handlebars by flobots suddenly popping into my head, me briefly wondering if that would be a video worth exploring with my students before just as suddenly realising that the song is now, like, 15 years old and am now just staring at the wall and not planning my lesson even a little bit.
