Theyāve named the school. A shameful episode - deciding to remove any books at all; the lazy use of AI; the appalling treatment of the librarian; the headās arrogance and ignorance in deeming certain titles āinappropriateā; and the idea that books in a library could be a safeguarding concernā¦

These are the 4 things AI can do well: ā¢Clean up your email inbox (badly) ā¢Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party ā¢Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself ā¢Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Oh well. Pretty much got ourselves to blame for that first half, formation change/subs came too late. That said the ref missed the boat with their antics. On an unrelated note- how come when the chaplain speaks we can hear every word but the usual announcer is just loads of reverb?

It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.

My MP ladies and gents. Didnāt vote against the PIP cuts because Rachel Reeves gave him his job, and now wants to outsource that job to an AI. Morley is 100% flipping to Reform in the next election and stuff like this just erodes any progression support Labour could muster.
