So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.
But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

My hollyhocks are finally blooming! They are now easily over 2 m tall, and I thought I was going to be engulfed by them on one of these days, but it seems that those growths are not more leaves but flowers! And they are black 😳

I am fascinated by how pretty the flowers of the catmint are. Our plant in our garden is in full bloom and the cuttings I took because they were invading the pathway are happily blooming in a vase and growing roots.

No amount of ‘tightening up’ of immigration rules will satisfy the ‘Reform curious’, unless you’re going to deport all black and brown people. Remember, they’re not properly English, as all those articles in the Telegraph, Spectator etc told us.
Stop appeasing.

No matter what you do, the far right will always want the next cruelty, and their torch-bearers in the press will attack you for not delivering it. All while priming voters to conceive of far right concerns as newly moderate.
Again, this has happened in every single place this has ever been tried.

Recently I overheard a conversation in the staff room. A colleague in another department is leaving us, and they were discussing his new role in the new school. Another member of the department said "take everything we've got: lesson plans, resources, anything you need" and it warmed my heart. 🎓🍎

It's nice to see all these ways to address students when they don't know the answers together in one infographic. I didn't realise it but this is pretty much what I do in my lessons, however I didn't know about "looking down" I'll have to research it! 🎓🧬
