This Robin Williams thread will brighten up your day 🧵
1. His improvised scene in Good Will Hunting made the cameraman laugh so hard the camera started shaking. Matt Damon's reaction is authentic.

YouGov predicting the biggest Conservative wipeout in their history?
It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).
Back on Instagram and X after a long hiatus. Will be sharing posts from IG here, and posting questions here 😁 Comment, like, share!

What about the Nations service to our 18yr olds? What they’ve been through.
A Gen that lost the best years of their lives.
They can’t afford to rent.
Can’t afford food. Punitive tuition fees. Probably won’t earn more than their parents… #bbcqt

I hope this message finds you well.
I'm not sharing this for sympathy, as I’m in relatively good spirits, thankfully. And my brother would NEVER post something like this, because he is a lot cooler than me.
Today, March 13th, 2024, marked a unique moment for my family: both my brother (41) and I (43) had chemotherapy sessions at two different hospitals on the same day. It's a peculiar coincidence. We are the only two people in our rather large extended family with cancer. While this may seem unlucky, it’s not the focus of my message. I’m here to highlight two points:
1. We are both receiving AMAZING care, and are so grateful to all health professionals in our country and everywhere. These people are the heroes and saviours of the world, day in, day out. Health professionals, you are so, so awesome and I don’t think you can imagine how much we appreciate you.
2. Our world and living in it is busier and more complex than it ever has been. The hustle and bustle of modern life will not go away. As our ability to communicate, travel and work faster than ever before increases, I believe “things” are likely to become more and more complex each day. Today will probably be the least complex this big old organised mess will ever be, probably for the rest of time; or at least until something unimaginable (to me) and significant happens.
In the midst of this, it's important not to neglect our health. Your wellbeing is invaluable, not just to you, but to everyone who loves and relies on you. You are irreplaceable. And probably bloody amazing.
It would not be helpful for us all to become hypochondriacs, so please don’t do that. However, if you notice symptoms that are persistent and unusual for you – be it recurring headaches, abdominal pain, an odd-looking mole, blood in your poo, or any new, unfamiliar sensations – please, make an appointment with your GP. I learned this the hard way. In many instances, serious illnesses are preventable or more effectively treated when caught early.
Your health is worth the time, and paying a bit more attention to your body could save your life 🌻

Today, RTB's management had a meeting with a team from Planet One Group to advance the project: "Establishment of 19 Centers of Excellence for TVET in Rwanda."
This is aligned with the Government of Rwanda's mission to establish a TVET Centre of Excellence in each district.
Man is on the money - tipping is abhorrent and encourages companies to pay less than minimum wage. Just raise the prices and pay people properly!
Man refusing to tip says servers shouldn’t “get 25%” for doing their job.
"It used to be you give a tip if someone gave exceptional service," he continues. "When was the last time you got exceptional service anywhere? It's just expected."
“You don't get 25 percent because you did your job." - Dustin Anderson

Bim Afolami says Junior Doctors asking for salaries to go from £15 an hour to £20 an hour is "unreasonable"
Bim Afolami then blames the doctors strike for the NHS waiting list #BBCQT
One friend's cleaner charges £25 an hour, another friend's personal trainer charges £60 an hour - the Conservative government wants you to be angry at Junior Doctors wanting £20 an hour
There's always a first for everything - this is one of them. Business meeting interrupted by monkeys 🙊 – at Botswana

I'm convinced one of the biggest inhibitors to school improvement is having teachers with full timetables.
In primary schools, finding the time to actually collaborate and tap-in to the significant knowledge and experience of the teaching staff is so difficult!

Why was Nigel Farage floating around the Tory conference?
Hold up UKIP’s 2015 manifesto and current Conservative policy, and you’ll find your answer.

"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family."
Why would Rishi Sunak want to do a thing like that?
So back to X/Twitter after a long hiatus - looking forward to engaging in good #education discussions and to learning from others. #PLN #PLC #edchat
