The May is Out | A test of @snapthread 2.0 and some ramblings on video size and formats, classroom video apps and blogging.
There is something lovely about the light under beech trees.
I am still finding my On This Day page both interesting and useful. Checking old posts with broken images, grabbing the image from archive.org and repairing. Not every day but it is quite satisfying to do now and again.
@danielpunkass what a nice surprise, MarsEdit in Setapp and it picked up my blog from a previous beta install. Zero friction.
Up to Loch Humphrey. The usual route. Bright sunny, nice breeze.The hawthorn mostly out. St Marks flies lower down. Butterflies, peacocks, whites, orange tips and small coppers. A couple more to fast to recognise. A kestrel buzzed by swallows. Oak getting leaves at last.
Shoplifters ★★★★☆ engrossing complex story, I think I missed a lot of the subtle points. Sweet, sad and though provoking. 📽
Social engineering
Private school woe over rise of state pupils at Oxbridge | News | The Times
The recruitment by Oxford and Cambridge of more state pupils has led to private-school parents claiming that their children are being edged out by “social engineering”, a leading head teacher has said.
My jaw dropped when I saw the front page of The Times in the paper shop this morning. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I can’t read the whole thing online as it is behind a pay wall.
It is the social engineering bit that got me. A whole class paying for their children to be schooled differently 1 may not fit the exact description of social engineering but it an huge effort of that class to shape society and keep itself on top.
- along with a huge network of connections, private tutors, being able to pay for internships… ↩
