By far the most depressing part of the Ann Widdecombe scandal is when you scroll through the Twitter comments and realise how many people thought she gave a good account of herself in the interview. Just the thought of sharing an island with them makes me want to take a shower.
And if you're coming to the topic late, here's what you missed (warning: it's *really nasty* homophobic stuff)

Bet365 are reportedly going to move from Gibraltar to Malta because of Brexit, at a loss of up to 1,000 jobs (in Gibraltar, I presume... I am guessing a certain number of new jobs would be created in Malta)

It's fascinating to see no deal Brexit efforts being unwound inside Government. For instance, the BEIS department had 532 of its staff seconded to Brexit work, but they dropped that number to just 167 staff after the October 31 extension was announced.

Over at DFID, they had 134 staff working on Brexit. 100 of these staff were back at their normal duties by 21 May.

The MOD had 257 civil servants working on Brexit preparations. All but 3 of these staff have now returned to MOD duties.

Is Kent County Council in trouble? This news report says they tried to pull £250 million out of a major investment fund, but it doesn't indicate whether they were successful in doing so before the fund manager overseeing it locked withdrawals...
bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
This could potentially have knock-on effects on Brexit preparations, because of course Kent is at the tip of the spear when it comes to disruption at the ports and congestion on the roads. So worth keeping an eye on.
And if the original news report is correct, then that represents nearly all of KCC's long-term investments, when you consider their most recent accounts. Seems remarkable they would have concentrated their assets to that extent. Hefty pinch of salt needed!

Is the Earth Flat?
by Dr. Danny R. Faulkner on May 24, 2016

Why Write about a Flat Earth?

Many people will probably wonder why it is necessary to write an article defending a round earth. Or, more specifically, an earth that is spherical.
You see, the earth could be both round & flat, if it were disk shaped. Recently I had a conversation with some people about a Christian young man they know who frequently argues that the earth is flat.
Mind you, this young man does not actually believe that the earth is flat. Rather, he finds the topic interesting & the discussion of it stimulating. Indeed, it can be.

1. Nehru was instrumental in Netaji not returning to India and getting him killed by Stalin. Gandhi and Patel were hand in glove in Netaji's assasination. So even though Netaji was the first PM of India, Nehru succeeded by getting him assasinated.
2. Nehru was succeeded by Lal Bahadur Sastri. Again with the communist Russia's assistance he was assasinated and Indira succeeded.
3. The Vatican go involved and employed a prostitute to entice an idiot born to Indira thru her husband. She also had another son born thru a Muslim friend. The prostitute arranged for his death and later Indra so her husband could succeed. So he succeeds by 4th assasination.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Now that Google+ has been shuttered, I should air my dirty laundry on how awful the project and exec team was.

I'm still pissed about the bait and switch they pulled by telling me I'd be working on Chrome, then putting me on this god forsaken piece of shit on day one.
This will be a super slow burn that goes back many years. I’ll continue to add to over the next couple of days. I’ll preface it with a bunch of backstory and explain what I had left behind, which made me more unhappy about the culture I had come into.
I spent most of my early career working for two radical sister non-profit orgs. I was the only designer working on
anywhere from 4-5 different products at the same time. All centered around activism and used by millions of people.

Good morning. My theory on technology in the classroom is this: Our choice is between surveillance vs teaching students to use tech well. Bans will fail and fail increasingly as technology advances.

Read @TheAtlantic: theatlantic.com/education/arch…
It's become clear over the last 4 years that it's difficult to persuade many people that ableism is a good enough not to ban laptops. I find that ... I find that infuriating.
The evidence that for many students using technology in the classroom has a negative effect on their learning is mixed, but strong enough in certain kinds of classes.

A Letter to Chimamanda Adiche about Feminism, Egalitarianism and Me.

THREAD.
Dear Chimamanda,
I planned to write you this letter privately through A mutual friend but he likes to shy away from controversy. So I thought to write it here on social media, hoping it gets to you and you read it objectively and maybe we can discuss it sometime in the future.
In your @TEDx speech about Feminism, the part @Beyonce adapted, you described a feminist as a person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes. This definition/intention sits well with me as it doesn’t favor any gender.
