For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

The CEO of Thames Water was called to a special Gloucestershire County Council meeting to answer questions on sewage spills in Gloucestershire’s rivers, huge dividends, and sky high water bills. The CEO didn't show up. He sent representatives instead and offered no apology. What arrogance…

As you sit down to your Thanksgiving dinner today, remember: the turkeys voted for this, by a decisive margin. They knew what they were getting themselves into.

Showed this to my wife as I put on my ripped denim jeans at weekend. If the orcas can bring back salmon hat, fade wash ripped denim is overdue.

🧵 Whatever your views on assisted dying, I always assumed we’d all agree that the topic is ethically fraught & complex. Not so Matthew Parris. For him, it’s simple. Earlier this year, he argued that old & frail people should be killed - to save society the cost of looking after them. 1/n

Someone blocked me on Bluesky. I will write a column about how it illuminates the inadequacy of Bluesky. Then when people make fun of me for that, I will write about that. And so forth, as many times as it works. I am a journamalist.

I had thought that by being back in the UK I would be spared the worst repercussions of a second Trump term. Turns out I was wrong.

Donald Trump is now (1) below 50% popular vote and (2) has a margin of popular vote victory roughly HALF of Hillary's victory in 2016. They believe the left has to lay down and shut up because of this "landslide" victory.

Very good post (and thread) about the practical realities of trying to achieve Muskawamy's cost-cutting goals.

As a prolific blocker for years on the other site, it has been frustrating to watch people continuously engage and argue with obvious dickheads who have no intention of changing their minds It also told the (Twitter) algorithm that you want to see more content you disagree with Just block!

Over the past few days I've been working out some thoughts about how the Bluesky feed generator feature could be used to, just maybe, make the internet a healthier place this time around. I think I have a sketch of a path there, and I'd love to talk it through! devingaffney.com/democratizin...

It's early days for me here on Bluesky, but one of the things I am liking compared to Threads is that there are a lot fewer examples of what I'm going to coin "textual selfies" - people just posting really not very interesting little stories about their own lives... (1/2)

Ok so now I'm on BlueSky. Is this, finally, the corner of the playground where the cool kids hang out? Can I be assured my lunch money won't be stolen here?
