Guitar weaving doesn’t get more majestic than when Verlaine and Lloyd threaded around one another. Spinning this and once again marvelling at that spellbinding sound they conjured. Richard Lloyd 1951-2026 R.I.P

Efficient ≠ Good The question schools should ask isn’t, “How much time can AI save teachers?” It’s, “Which parts of teachers’ work must remain cognitively and professionally theirs because pupils’ learning depends on them?” paulkirschner173727.substack…

The question shouldn't be 'How effective are your strategies for PP, Send and inclusion'. The question should be 'How effectively do you raise the quality of inclusion provision for all children, including send and pp'. In my opinion.

Kinda restores your faith in humanity when you hear a song as good as Another Girl, Another Planet. If humans can create something as incredible as this, maybe there is hope for us as a species.

Nicolas Winding Refn chose "Nightcall" for DRIVE'S (2011) opening because its haunting synths and retro vibe set the perfect moody, nocturnal tone for the film and captured the Driver’s sense of isolation.

The British & Irish Lions are incredibly sad to hear of the death of Lion 617, Scott Hastings. All our thoughts are with Scott’s family at this deeply upsetting time.
