Something I have noticed this year with my broadcast journalism students (although it's probably been happening for a while) is that they don't recognise the stop ⏹️ symbol. They only know play ▶️ and ⏸️.

Having a long break from teaching between semesters is great. But oh my god that first day of teaching again is so hard. Six hours of it. I am now collapsed in a darkened room and don't plan to get up for 12 hours.

This is cool.
With Heidi Alexander replacing Louise Haigh as transport secretary, the cabinet is now 100% state school educated for the first time in history.

(Sir Keir Starmer's school was a selective state school when he joined, then became private two years into his time there.)
