Don't make a game! Make an experience. In this month's Geoscience Differently newsletter, I explore why debriefing may be the most important part of games to teach, what can go wrong you don't do it, and I show you how I structure my game-based experiences. www.linkedin.com/pulse/dont-m...

Why does the theme to The Living Daylights start with someone from Hull getting on a bus? "Hey Drive, where we going?" "Off on rerd mate."
Just about made it to the end of the Netflix documentary, “Grenfell Uncovered”. Negligence. Greed. Injustice. It’s incredible to think that *nobody* has yet faced criminal charges for what happended. Instead, Eric Pickles was elevated to the House of Lords. #72

You mean like he did Mason Greenwood? The BBC is doing a lot of work re-inventing De Zerbi... I'd rather the club was in the Championship than sully itself with him.
I'm confused. I'm watching the new Masters of the Universe film and there's not a single Gorg in it at all.

More than 10,000 people have died in Europe's heatwaves. This is what the first 48 hours would have looked like if Europe had treated extreme heat like the emergency it is.🧵
Earlier this year UKRI launched a funding call to invest £40M in ONE AI lab. www.ukri.org/opportunity/... For some unknown reason they decided to fund TWO AI labs at the cost of £60M. An extra £20M. Just found. That's the equivalent of 7 more years of Jodrell Bank. www.ukri.org/news/ukri-la...

Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans@astroroyalscot.bsky.social · last wk.I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated.

A revenue tax cut, funded by scrapping a capital scheme, to save people less than the cost of a pint each month. Can we have the adult in charge again please.
Three of the Spurs back four have won World Cup medals. And they nearly got relegated.
4 mins added on for second half. 9 mins total for extra time???
How will they VAR that goal out? Pull it back for a foul in the 1st half?
I'm fed up now. Just give the trophy to Argentina, we know how this ends.
