The headline here should say:
"Number of private schools increases by 35 - showing fears of an exodus to be unfounded".
(The increase is mentioned way down the article.)

Google's "deep mind" is too deep to have a working search function or AI that doesn't just make stuff up.
I'm sure you've covered this in the paywalled section but my idea would be incentivised milestones. A year's paid sabbatical after 10 years so long as you commit to a further 5, that kind of thing.

which one of these will find its way to a TGT in september?
Don't remember too many players who make such an obvious and immediate difference whenever they come on.
Chloe Kelly thought about giving up football this year.
Then she signed for Arsenal.
She might schedule a few sessions on penalties tho...
There's a reason they used to call comments "the bottom half of the internet"
Surely that's a full-blown "interpolation" in today's terms. Interestingly in this interview they say it's a Rolling Stones riff -- the chord move is the same as e.g. Start Me Up.

"Some men, master Bruce..."
CHAPLIN not CHAPLAIN. Otherwise I like it!
Second book I've re-read this year. A brilliant, fantastical, dream-like story and a fascinating allegory for trauma, abusive manipulation, and a mind cut totally adrift. A distant descendant of The Tempest I think.
Only one thing reliably trickles down, and it isn't money.
America - Simon and Garfunkel
Any number of Dylan songs but maybe Isis or Tangled Up In Blue
Taylor Swift at her best does this -- All Too Well as an example
Nick Cave -- Red Right Hand
I know you don't quite mean the same as songs with a narrative but a lot of mine are quite narrative.
This is one of the few absolutely perfect songs.
SomeTHING wicked this way comes...
dystopia mostly
the fomo tho
Been on the verge of exiting Twitter for a while, this might be the push I need
When does the reward start 😐
I'd be interested to know what approach you advocate for managing/shepherding/monitoring the difficulty level of volitional reading. Or does one just not try. The relationship of "challenge" and "pleasure" seems like a very thorny issue to me.
Nice. 5 under also.
My lukewarm take is that the most influential bit in the Matrix isn't the red and blue pills, it's the bit where Morpheus downloads kung fu into Neo'd brain. The mirage of acquiring knowledge and skills with zero effort is central to online culture, for better or (often) worse.
