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!
the vibes: they're not great chat

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.

Happy World Book Day.

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

Some of the BBC presenters are pronouncing Storm Eowyn similar to 'Storm Iowan' and I'm like 'That's right UK! FEEL MY WRATH!!!'

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).

I introduced my students to Whamaggedon and someone at the back IMMEDIATELY played the song on their computer. Folks, the COVID generation is ANGRY!

The Day of the Jackal just took a cheap shot at David Hare and I'm ready to meet someone in the car park over it!!!

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.

Reading Patrick O'Brian while talking to the puppy

Me: I must object to this eternal crunching of sticks sir! It doesn't answer and will play havoc with your guts!

Milo the puppy: As they are MY guts I shall treat them as I please!
