Apparently there&#39;s data suggesting when children start school, 97% are excited to learn; by the time they&#39;ve finished GCSEs that number is down to 7%. I wonder how much of that is related to the primary/secondary transition? 2025-09-03T07:08:04Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9m2t5u8f6c6q7sdzuy5s93tym30az3487rgdwa6nllwa46khlgfqzyrp3j5e2dtnxuy4ah3gz590t6mnxvvzlrw0m3ruzt78jz66azc85zlk02hy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs82v608jxmwzcetkdgeacj8whtlkh5sce8heqx9l3krn32g056fvqg2a9yf'>nevent1q…a9yf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>a quick review of the press summary and the initial judgement (<a href="https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/ministry-of-defence-v-global-media-and-entertainment-limited-and-others">https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/ministry-of-defence-v-global-media-and-entertainment-limited-and-others</a> - thanks to <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1uqnm4eq29km3c9vem77ql7ndcgqxu6ps8zv5jhjhxusgwsg965fsrqlhdy" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>dag</span> (<span class="italic">npub1uqn…lhdy</span>)</a></span> ) suggests the former. The government doesn&#39;t appear to have asked for a super injunction; the judge imposed it due to the risk to Afghan civilians, but with a clear intent to lift the &#34;super&#34; bit once it was safe to do so. 2025-07-15T17:34:12Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqnkxc3unpth3smazfrjhhpl7a3ukqxfnfadgwnnkgrj64tgcg6kqzyrp3j5e2dtnxuy4ah3gz590t6mnxvvzlrw0m3ruzt78jz66azc85zlve8mz Marvel at the fecundity of my paint brush, for I have finished... *five space marines*.

Because we&#39;re always being told that if we tax them too much they&#39;ll leave the country and haunt someone else&#39;s billionaires. Or would the ghosts leaving scare the billionaires into staying and paying their taxes? Ugh, I&#39;m so confused. Better vote for the Leopards Eating People&#39;s Faces party again. 2024-12-18T11:37:29Z
