That isn’t what is happening.
The pianist is Brendan Kavanagh. He has a YouTube channel, on which he frequently posts videos of himself breaking the rules surrounding the public pianos he plays.
He films the interactions for clicks and his vids are monetised.

At St Pancras, commercial filming requires a permit. That’s the rule. It’s not the playing of the piano that’s the issue, it’s that Brendan Kavanagh frequently creates monetised content without the permit he requires.
Just been catching up with #AddtoPlaylist - loved last week’s episode with @nadineshah views on James Bond and prog (shared in our house). Listening to the celebration of Black British music now and in bits at ‘Silly games’ and the reference to the wonderful #SmallAxe

This is absolutely terrible for my fellow #Leicestershire colleagues - many of whom will have planned holidays for that week as their #schools will have already broken up for the summer. What provision are @pearson or @educationgovuk going to put in place for those poor headteachers who will already be on holiday, and potentially out of the country, at that time?

Schools finish on 10th July in Leicester @BBCr4today
So what should this headteacher and assistant headteacher do, @bphillipsonMP? Submit marking reviews from the beach? Fly back early?
Please, for once, consider that school leaders are not available to work 24/7 just because we don’t have directed time.

Sitting in the car park while child is at gymnastics. Obviously all the people in huge SUVs are running the engines for aircon. There’s actually a nice breeze if it weren’t tastes by the fumes from their massive vehicles…

I have deleted my original debunk of this story as it appears it is actually an amalgamation of 2 stories...
(Don't let anyone tell you I'm not prepared to be corrected!!)
So let's look at them individually:
We'll start with the photo...
So what's going on?

ALT Screenshot of a tweet saying: * WTF: Lincolnshire Church of England primary school allegedly forced 7-year-old children (none Muslim) to perform full Islamic prayers to Allah in RE lesson. "We did prayers to Allah yesterday," one girl told her father. Pupils were shown a demonstration video then told to kneel, bow heads & copy the movements themselves. Angry parents reported it to Lincolnshire Police. School unnamed amid backlash fears. Disgraceful. There is a Picture of children in school uniforms kneeling on the floor, heads down, in a classroom setting

This is a genuine question, because I do not know the answer:
How many Church of England church buildings have been converted into mosques?

I am sorry.. ..Why are the residents of the sixth richest nation in the world going for a flanel wash in an outdoor leisure centre
Ms15 went with the Wolves fan to deliver Christmas presents and saw England flags hanging from every lamppost near her relatives’ houses. ‘I hadn’t believed it was actually like this,’ she said. Spot the girl from liberal, hyper-diverse Leicester.
If you see someone who looks like the old man from Up! sporting a jumper declaring !No pasaran! in Blackwells or the Covered Market, say hello to the Wolves fan.

Educators (and librarians) tend to have a blindspot &;assume human + AI > AI and that's understandable qnd it's probably currently true for many/most? tasks now. But I always like to remind people of this awkward data point....
I think one of the more fascinating points about chess is that the new chess models aren’t just “better”.
They are so much better that if two chess AI were playing against each other and a human (any human), were to contribute a single move, at any point in the game, that would be enough to typically guarantee a loss.
Our teen is a real urbanite. She asked where we were going for our main holiday next year, and when we told her, she asked whether it would be as good as Bilbao! Yes, there’s a beach where we’re going but it’s also a busy city.
