My home office is pretty lonely today. RIP Charlie 😢. 18 years young at the end. A great innings of course, but there’s nobody to dribble on my keyboard today or purr into the mic on Teams calls.

This is what I want natively. And I want to know that I'll see it in my #PowerBI lifetime.

I don't want to have to spend hours overlaying transparent buttons on top of column headings purely so I can tell the user right there and then "This is what goes in to this number".

Plenty of things to give Bluesky a kicking about regarding moderation and 'open' labellers, but the private school labeller now having an 'Epstein Connection' label also shows it can be extremely lmao.

It just hit me how much time has passed, and how much has happened, there may be younger generations that don't know about him.
I don't want him to be forgotten.
Share his story and keep fighting for a fair Internet ❤️
Today is the birthday of one of my heroes, Aaron Swartz (1986 2013).
It is thanks to him that we have Reddit and Creative Commons as we know them.
He fought for freedom of information and the internet.
He was a victim of corporate greed and a corrupt system: JSTOR & the US.

I was thinking I might have to write about the broad consensus in the finance community that we are in a crazy AI bubble, but mercifully @davekarpf.bsky.social has it covered -- with a nod to my Enron analogy from 25 years ago (thanks Dave).
Everyone agrees that we're currently in a dotcom era-like AI bubble. People disagree what sort of bubble it is.

There are 3 stories one can tell about the dotcom crash: a startup story, a telecom story, and an accounting fraud story.

My take: it's giving Enron

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living “parallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

This is a fascinating and scary little video. And what South Korea is experiencing is only slightly ahead of where the UK and many advanced economies are.

Without immigration, we are FUCKED. I mean TOTALLY FUCKED. Yet all parties compete to stop migration. It's madness.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience.

It reminded me I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."
"Perhaps prison would have persisted this way forever. Perhaps our granite hearts and iron wills would have never crumbled. Perhaps the prison mentality, that we be cold and heartless, would have endured.

Perhaps. But then there were kittens."

This is incredible. Love it. What a load of nonsense. We thought school league tables were bad.
Honestly, it is absurd to publish a league table with confidence intervals so wide that a single trust could be in either the top 10 or bottom 10
Those confidence intervals in full!

There are few things in the world guaranteed to make you feel better about leaving teaching than a new Ofsted framework. Good luck folks, same 💩 different headings. And no extra workload apparently - yeah right.

The new Ofsted framework will provide ‘absolute clarity’ in the same way as I am absolutely the coolest teacher.
Ofsted has unveiled its new report cards with renamed grades and fewer inspection areas, saying inspections will now provide 'absolute clarity' for schools and parents - but the changes have not allayed unions' concerns
