Technology companies must be held accountable for the tools they create and the harm they can cause, and I am determined to keep pushing for stronger protections so that others do not have to experience the same abuse.

Turned out our enemies never needed to invade.They just needed to push narratives that we are all broken, the county is not worth fighting for and nothing is good whilst meddling in elections and media. It’s utter genius as an act of war but I am a little bit done with it now
Great coms … for attendance support
My kid is out sick today and I was really impressed to see @NYCMayor’s team connecting the dots between school absenteeism and housing insecurity in this message I got from @NYCSchools. So many kids miss out on learning due to the challenges referenced below.

Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says, ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life.”

Arrested people are given police bail if there’s insufficient evidence to charge
Charged people are given bail if there’s low risk that:
1 they will fail to appear at court, or
2 they will reoffend or
3 they will interfere with witnesses
That’s not 2 Tiers, it’s just the law
BREAKING: A 25-year-old UK-Iranian national held in connection with last weekend's incident at RAF Fairford has been released on bail.
The man was arrested in London on Thursday on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.

Some of our kids are so tired, their day has changed so much over the yrs, many doing a 10hr+ with travel, but their needs are still the same

Heartwarming. Former Chancellor has compound interest explained to him and it finally clicks.

✨ Key Highlights:
- Tailored specifically for non-school Early Years settings
- Updated guidance on data protection, staff roles, and digital safety standards
- Helps managers and practitioners look at the whole setting’s approach, identifying clear strengths and practical areas for improvement.
Take time with your leadership team and practitioners to review your provision collaboratively.

Schools with the highest SEND levels are five times more likely to fall below Ofsted's expected standard for inclusion. Tes reported on 11 September that 3% of secondaries with the lowest SEND levels fell short, against 15% of those with the highest. Schools rated exceptional for inclusion average 12.2% on SEN support. Those told to improve urgently average 17.1%.
If you serve a high SEND community and you are in the window, that is a number worth having in the room.
Has inclusion been judged fairly against your intake?
Tell us what the inspector actually asked you. We are collecting the questions.

Oh my. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is investigating “chemtrails.”
So apparently it’s time for some middle-school science:
Jets fly high. It’s REALLY cold up there. Hot, moist exhaust hits cold air. The water condenses and freezes into tiny ice crystals.
That white trail behind the airplane?
It’s called a contrail.
We’ve known how this works for a very long time.
RFK Jr: "We are also looking at chemtrails"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
RFK Jr. referred to "chemtrails," a conspiracy theory alleging secret chemical spraying by aircraft. No evidence supports this; trails are condensation (contrails) and a 2016 peer-reviewed survey of 77 atmospheric experts found 76 had seen none for such programs.
