One of my daughter's home learning topics is to make an art piece inspired by Chinese dragons. She made a collage but I had to stay up late with her 🥱 She grinned when I said "You only do collage for art projects!"
She proudly handed it in this morning and all was well 😊

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.
Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.
American capitalism is off the rails.

The new rise of Christian Nationalism in the UK – a movement opposing women’s rights, freedom of religion or belief, immigration, same-sex marriage, abortion, and LGBT rights – is NOT representative of the vast majority of the UK, NatCen’s research confirms.

I checked my area. It's not in top 10 but not great either. I'm surprised it's just a bit worse than Bristol. The detailed map is the same as how I feel about different areas in my city.
England's most deprived areas named - with Jaywick topping list
Jaywick, a seaside town in Essex, has been named the most deprived area for a fourth time in a row.

Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

I had 24 hours of travelling around Britain - well, to Leeds and back - and it was so unexpectedly lovely and hopeful, I had to write about it: www.thetimes.com/article/c646...

I get an email about my son's digital activities from his school every weekend. I'm not sure why he watched "Pingu cooks his favourite meals" on YouTube on his school computer 🤣 I just hope he is studying 😅
