Tony Blair is literally being paid by a man with one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet - Larry Ellison. The founder of Oracle is his biggest funder & these techsolutionist remarks have to be seen for what they are: tech lobbying www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

revisiting all my old production documents for the directing actors lecture I'm giving tomorrow, and remembering how much I absolutely adore filmmaking, even though it very nearly killed me every single time I did it #filmmaking

“Restrictive interventions may include use of equipment, medication or seclusion. Restrictive interventions may or may not involve the use of reasonable force.” Horrifying.

This is gobsmacking, deeply draconian stuff, and includes the use of chemical restraint (eg pepper spray) on pupils by teachers. The potential for abuse is massive. We need more good teachers & TAs, not note traumatised kids. Please fill this in if you have time

Trump and Musk feature in the latest Beano. D.O.P.E. This sort of satire is wasted on 7 year olds!

Tilda Swinton.

I spend my life complaining about the #ADHD oppositional behaviour of my son. But Easter Sunday, after being instructed to dress smart, I’ve put my Napalm Death T on under my jumper… just because… I’m 50 and *you’re not the boss of me* 🤘😂

Fair play to #avfc, they boxed us out of the ring. Great team, great manager, it’s like playing ourselves with this lot. Ollie Watkins/Tielemans on🔥. Us lot unrotated + knackered. Pick up & go again with Ipswich. HTL #nufc 🖤🤍

The internalised trauma of being an #nufc supporter: Win 6 off the belt Win a cup EPL runner up place in sight Champions league almost nailed on Every game: “buckle up, lads, we’re gonna get battered here” 😂

Just survived The Substance. An absolute head melter of a film, really, really, really good. Proper old school body horror cranked to ick level 100000000 & blended up (literally) with - I dunno - Mulholland Drive & Sunset Boulevard

Reading Martin Jenkins’ intro to Debord, and was struck by this image from 1927. The same message over 100 years… we’re all in it together, we all have to make sacrifices

This Newcastle team is legendary - the greatest in 2 generations. Not one team we couldn’t embarrass right now. Top of the world. 🖤🤍 #nufc

In parenting news I now know how to run a Minecraft server for my kids and can resolve sibling conflicts using global kill commands 👊

Clearly getting both Ket and Kool Aid from the same supplier as Elon: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If I had the power to freeze time it would definitely be on an April day as gorgeous as this

My goodness S2 of Severance is a post-capitalist nightmare. So good, but deeply rabbit-holey that it be produced by…. an irl Lumon. Nice little piece here on the Marxist horror of the show: isaaclyman.com/blog/posts/m...

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Fantastic thread

hard not to tell my son he's right: school's a place of arbitrary rules based on outdated imperatives & systemically designed to throw kids like him (and me) under the bus. Always think educators should ask themselves: if a rule were applied to me, would it result in an employment tribunal? #adhd

On the upside, if you're a Trump critic visiting America the pound will currently get you more bail dollars + there's a firesale on deportation flights.

Ugh! This is ugly #GSK #cowards

Is there any occurrence Badenoch can’t pretzel into a contrarian position by stripping it of all its intellectual content and making herself the official spokesperson for idiocy?

If you want an antidote to the world go and see Minecraft in a cinema full of kids. Absolute cinema.

Not to mention the public policy concessions we're not yet even aware of (digital tax, online safety, god knows what) or that might become factors next week or the week after in the tariff staying at 10%

RIP King

With age, I am understanding things I never understood when I was younger. ONE of those things, is the value of doing Fucking Anything™. Taking ANY action, inspires other people to take action. This ripple effect is more powerful than the original Anything™ you do.

The #SEN system is screwed... if our kid's EHCP was acted on by teacher/caregiver as is it would cause genuine, significant harm. Why? Cause we dropped the ball, trusted a SEN officer wouldn't include wrong meds info & didn't have time to refresh our specialist legal/med knowledge in time for amends

The labour of being SEND parent #6637 Instead of work spending 4 hrs trying to figure out who to email to amend a new EHCP that contains 4yr out of date dosage information & psych evals. Then spending rest of week relearning #SEND legislation to argue for change so teachers don’t wrongly medicate

I made a site today that lets you compare the net worth of billionaires and corporations to the GDP of entire countries. Check it out. I want to raise awareness of the scale. There are many people - and tons of companies - with more wealth than the annual economic output of individual EU nations

just explained PhD *really* succinctly to a colleague. Lightbulb moment. In the time-space of walking down corridor & sitting at desk, it had become a tangle again. My work is about being tangled & embracing knots as legitimate nodes of knowing in a field of impossibly-knotted selves #phdsky #adhd

even my inlaws - die hard centrists & Blairites who ran their Lab CLP for decades - are backing away now. My father in law practically had his Lab card tatooed on his forehead, but was talking about cutting it up at the weekend. Nearly fell off my seat. They're in for a shock in May #UKLabour

insane watching Lab follow the *exact* trajectory that did for the Tories + Dems: tracking endlessly Right to chase off headbanger vote despite innumerable evidence that the policies are toilet-roll & the strategy is doomed. The McFadden/McSweeney cult need to get in the bin before they doom us all
