For children to be confident with maths, we need to fix the adults first

Those with poor numeracy are twice as likely to be unemployed, less likely to own a home and at higher risk of poor health. A lack of numeracy skills is holding back social mobility in the UK, and cau...

We have a president pocketing billions with a crypto scam, while Susan Collins became a multi-millionaire, funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband and profiting off stock trades while in office. Enriching yourself through public office should be a crime.

Odd practice the redaction of files quite literally produced by those elected by the people to serve the people.

Release the #EpsteinFiles. No more redactions. No more delays. If crimes were committed, prosecute everyone involved — no matter who they are.

Education debates remain trapped in slogans about rigour while ignoring the attrition of teachers. A society that neglects its educators is not defending standards. #education

Just a safety reminder FL DO NOT FIRE YOUR GUN INTO THE AIR TO CELEBRATE. Why? Remember Diego Duran (Ruskin): A 12-year-old boy was struck in the head by a falling bullet while watching fireworks from his front yard,from a bullet fired miles away.

The Supreme Court just made it harder to hold platforms accountable when someone uses them to steal your content — and two justices explicitly warned that small creators would feel it most.

America, your Congress continues to treat voting access as a partisan inconvenience. In any serious democracy, the ballot is the instrument of legitimacy. Restricting it is a quiet dismantling of the very principles officials claim to uphold.

Trump is ready to end this entire fiasco just as soon as Bibi and AIPAC say he can.

Fears in Strait of Hormuz as tanker struck after Iran warned ships to turn back

Corporation/Politican gets caught.* Crisis Team: “We take this seriously.” Spokesperson: "We take full accountability." Media Relations: "Rigorous investigation." Robbie world: Go to jail. Pay the fine. Be humiliated forever. *stealing, murdering, mislabeling, raping, killing

Corporate consolidation is being framed as efficiency, though history shows concentrated economic power inevitably distorts markets and weakens civic autonomy. A healthy society requires dispersion of influence, not aggregation. #Corporations #Greed

WOW. Todd Blanche IGNORES the court order to produce certain Epstein files or explain redactions, and INSTEAD claims it needs more time, and should be able to do it UNDER SEAL. We saw this deflection coming a mile away. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Fairness and decency are not political stances but civic obligations. Both are lacking here.

JFC. We're doing crime is fine now, and also everybody cheats. I guess we've evolved beyond laws and ethics in this advanced century. The Vice President says nobody cares about that stuff.

Everyone’s “fine” until you ask twice. #wellbeing

And yes aware of the not so subtle irony of putting a butch war helmet on a pack about empathy. go.bsky.app/7AX7dRr

Just the evening muttering of an old man: institutions rarely fail suddenly. They erode quietly when convenience is allowed to outrank principle. Examples are legion.

Something chilling and nearly impossible to believe.

BREAKING: #AlligatorAlcatraz is officially closed 🎉🎉🎉 We've reached a huge milestone in our fight against the mass detention center in the heart of the #Everglades: ICE announced it has removed all detainees from the cruelly named “Alligator Alcatraz,” and DeSantis confirmed it is closed.

If you create content online — videos, articles, graphics, anything — there's a live federal court case right now asking whether a company can legally use that content to train its AI without your permission.

Decide about the music. Here is today’s post: The USPTO just canceled over 52,000 trademark registrations — and some of the business owners who lost them had no idea anything was wrong.

I am not a prolific poster, but I like organizing in support of women. When I think of supporting women, I avoid the negativity of attacks on males. Rather, I strive for positive action: patronizing superior women-owned business, outreach, shelters, PP...and online. 💗 go.bsky.app/DNgPNfj

You will never make rent if you keep making financially irresponsible choices such as “buying groceries.”

With what frequency is “tradition” invoked to defend practices that were never admirable? Shall we conduct periodic reviews of our traditions?

I found this vintage photo of Stephen Miller:

I apologize for being so grouchy: The political obsession with “border security” is a convenient distraction from the fact that the country can’t even secure clean water in half its municipalities. #frustrated

As I read more and more, it is abundantly clear progress usually results from people refusing to accept cruelty as normal. Obviously not a lawmaker, going to do what I can to challenge cruelty I see immediately around me. Then ramp it up. #resist
