Yes. Imagine, if you will.... I can hear THE Twilight Zone theme in the background as I speak. Because that's where I'll meet THEM at - the fake reality bubble in which they are currently existing! 🎈🎪

News has come full circle, & is now in danger of becoming ‘messages from the powerful’ as it was in Rome. US revolutionaries, most notably Franklin & Paine, pioneered the free press & citizen political critique. Who would like to join our 21C model? @bylinesnetwork.co.uk @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Doesn’t the problem begin with students studying using AI? One of the vital learning processes at HE level is reading all the material you *don’t* use in the assignment. If AI sifts most of this out, the learning experience is greatly impoverished.

Do you want lower rates of "crime"? Do you want increased childhood development and well-being? Do you want lower rates of homelessness? Do you want to reduce overdose deaths? Do you want these things cheaper than ever? Then give people housing, food, schooling, medicine, and support, for free.

Lest we forget, the UK has also experienced episodes of its government waging war upon ordinary people, the 'Battle of Orgreave' being one of the most shameful examples in living memory. And it happened right here, in Yorkshire.

How many more people across the world are currrently in the process of becoming those who will never be able to psychologically leave their experiences of war behind them? How should the world prepare? Ukraine is already working on some answers.

What's the connection between Middle Earth and Yorkshire? Angus Young goes in search of Tolkien's very own 'Arwen' who danced in a wood in Holderness, East Yorkshire. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/region/sculp...

I have stopped using the word "guys" in favour of the more inclusive "folks". Folk just means people and sounds friendly.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Great video from @sanders.senate.gov youtu.be/70nHmlapu7w?...

Idiocy. Roughly the level of insight of a drunk person in a pub, who has never worked in education. And who doesn’t care about social mobility. 👏 Well done to whoever appointed him 👏 #EduSky

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

The state education system is awash with ‘B-Arker’ business managers, CEOs etc who have never taught anyone, anything in their life, but leech huge amounts of cash out of the system. Similar in health & social services. Reeves could find a lot of savings there. #EduSky

Oh. He seems nice. 😬 #EduSky

Great primer on the problem with MATs. Really worth reading. Once you incorporate the market into a sector, it will work by the norms of capitalism, prioritising growth and money making over its intended purpose (in this instance, providing children with a decent education)

STARTING NOW:

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

Play matters more than ever right now- children are the future, they need to learn about the world, how to cooperate, what happens when people fall out, to look after the part of the world they live in.

During days like these, it may seem incongruous to post about children’s needs & rights to play. But learning through play builds independence, collaboration… the ability to manage the self in free peer interaction; the basis of democracy. #InternationalDayofPlay #PlayMatters

Why are older people’s agendas are always better addressed than children’s by governments - the answer is in an old song:’ I'd like to help you, son; But you're too young to vote.’ & U35s are so demographically outnumbered now& will be for some time yet. @newsagents.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

🔴The ‘Millionaire Exodus’ the UK Media Told You About Never Actually Happened The equivalent of 30 stories a day were published about an exodus of wealthy people that a new study finds was “non existent” @josiah.writes.news reports bylinetimes.com/2025/06/10/t...
