I applaud @GaryLineker for his compassion and support for vulnerable people, particularly refugees.
Thank you, Gary.

This sounds very cool but 1am NZT is a bit challenging.
Could be one for the educators to stay up for?
@FaithKane @brianlucid @tristamsparks @jo_bailey and easier potentially for @idilgaziulusoy @e_igoe @WeDontDoRetro @peterme

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
I am disgusted that @England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media.
It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.

Looking forward to @genmon speaking to @LboroDesign students and staff this afternoon, as part of an ongoing series of talks by @MGMcgriskin and @GoogleUK. I've had a sneak preview of the presentation, and it's a good one!
Happy to see my favourite pieces from the old museum are on display - hand carved profiles of train engine designs for wind tunnel testing

Today marks the tenth anniversary of the New Aesthetic, a project inaugurated on May 6th 2011, and performed online, offline, and in my head and heart and the heads and hearts of many others ever since: new-aesthetic.tumblr.com
This is urgent! The Government wants to impose a catastrophic 50% funding cut to arts subjects at higher education (HE) level in England. I've joined the @Public_Campaign for the Arts to tell @GavinWilliamson: arts education matters. Will you join too? campaignforthearts.org/petit…

Here's your reminder that the whole idea of a personal carbon footprint was a targeted BP media campaign in 2005 and it worked so well that it seems like we've all forgotten this researchgate.net/publication…

When powerful people and organizations design images of the future, they are desiging a future for themselves. In that process, they leave the rest of humanity with a future that looks more like what I would call an “undesigned negative image” of those designed futures.
