Every year I think (fear) it'll be the last time I get to do this, but for this time at least...

Pride of place on the tree again this year @teachertapp.bsky.social

I tend not to write often (as this is only my 2nd blog in 5 years will attest) but this has been rolling around in my head for a while:

6-7 has got nothing on DX'ing someone. Kids these days really missed out.

Just spent the club ownership segment on the morning's @footballramble.bsky.social mailbox waiting for Luke to say the price of everything, value of nothing, anticipation was killing me. Excellent points and well worth a listen. Great show as always lads 👏

It's half term, which means I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away.

Simply *repost* this post for your chance to win.

I will choose a winner at random this Saturday (22nd February).

I'd love to know how Arne Slot gets his head to shine like that, it's majestic. Whereas on my best day I look like a peeled potato with googly eyes stuck on. Honestly I'd settle for Slot's shine over me hair back.

4743: University of Blarthon. Doctor Toyota sighs: 'Yes, I know everything you were taught in first year about what Christians believed is hard to reconcile with this. Just go with it, okay?'

The @teachertapp.bsky.social poncho was greatly appreciated @heymrshallahan.bsky.social goes well with the shades too!

I've started a substack to write about cultural stuff and my first article, about masculinity and HBO's The Wire is published and ready to read for free right now. Please subscribe! lukeaaronmoore.substack.com?r=6lcg6&utm_...

Deepseek is strange. I asked about the student uprising in China, an explanation popped up, seconds later vanished replaced by it's beyond its current scope talk about something else. Same on Taiwan. A question on Kwangju however was answered in detail and remained. Censorship in real time.🤔

After 12 years, my work bag has finally given up the ghost. It was pricey, but in terms of daily use for over a decade, probably the best value item I've ever bought. Farewell old friend.

Not a bad Saturday.

I quite often find coverage of South Korea in this country a little clichéd or wince inducing, but the @thenewsagents.com coverage and interview about the events of this week was spot on! Well done @jonsopel1.bsky.social @emilymaitlis.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com great work!

Part of the reason I fell in love with Korea was its history of the people overcoming every challenge and hardship that came their way. The events of the past 12 hours only reiterate that. An amazing country, an amazing history and most importantly amazing people.

A little early putting it up (going with the family majority 😂) but always a nice reminder of my @teachertapp.bsky.social prize a few years back!

I'm looking into doing an NPQEL, would anyone have an advice on how worthwhile it could be and workload implications? Thank you in advance!

In our happy place after an absolute Squid Game of a week. Happy Friday all!

Some of the best CPD I've ever had was what I saw in the early days of the other place. Then between a mix of algorithm changes and me being less than judicious with who/what I followed it got more and more clogged with nonsense. Having left there, hoping to make better use of this platform!
