Coverage is not progress. Students struggle for 3 curricular reasons: lack of specificity, lack of systematicity, and lack of subject sensitivity. open.substack.com/pub/daviddid...

In Europe's post-Napoleonic Catholic revival, new vocations flocked to social reformers like Marcellin Champagnat & Don Bosco. People had come to hope for revolutionary change, but also realised it wouldn't come in their lifetimes. Sounds very much like our times. theconversation.com/there-may-no...

There's a definite paradox here. I like being on a network that just shows me what my mutuals and hashtags post, what's relevant, and doesn't try to addict me to doomscrolling for hours. But the flip side of that is that I only post when I have something worth saying, which can be weeks apart.

You asked AI to fix your comma, It fixed your entire personality. This paper proved that ChatGPT rewrites your opinions without permission. You told it to fix a comma. It erased what you believe. And the worst part? You liked the result better.

please do not feed all your thoughts into the jar of hungry ghosts.

If Trump thinks he is in peace talks with Iran, but Iran has no knowledge of these happening, who is Trump really talking to? I have visions of some kebab shop in DC getting the call: "that crazy old man is on the phone again. Yeah, just promise him two lamb shawarma and no nuclear weapons!"

After watching the recent Louis Theroux Netflix documentary on the manosphere, I thought I should check in with my son's viewing habits,check he isn't consuming this kind of content. His response "Those guys are so total cringe!" - you heard it here first, misogyny is cringe!

“AI technology is much more akin to a ouija board than anything else: promoting and enabling mysticism, pseudoscience, and pseudo-intellectualism …” — @olivia.science @marentierra.bsky.social et al. (2025) From: zenodo.org/records/1706...

“If plagiarism is wrong & bad & theft is wrong & bad & schools are duty-bound to help instill these values in students, how can they justify adoption of a technology that is, at its core, built on stolen work & whose purpose is the extrusion of text to be passed off as one's own thinking & writing?”

Things don't occur in a vacuum. Threatening students with failure or expulsion is going to terrify them, particularly when the "AI detection" methods are flawed. This is a really good look at some of the unintended consequences of harsh AI penalties from @masnick.com #AcademicSky

NEW: Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article.

How the private equity industry views education is really alien to how educators see it. Yet these investors probably have a bigger say in how the future of education will unfold. First, education is a *market* worth $trillions *in the future* making it a good speculative bet for investment...

A trend becoming visible in student recruitment in UK and other European universities

They just need the powdered wigs and the Restoration Comedy will be completely period-accurate!

When I was misconduct officer, I saw so many students flagged by Turnitin for plagiarism who said "Sorry, I thought I had changed it enough". I realised we had told them what not to do, but not why they are doing what we ask them to do in the first place. Detection doesn't get to the root problem.

Up until today, if I had to say one good thing about President Trump, it would be that he is the one US President in my lifetime not to have started or extended a war. That was his one redeeming quality. Now, bupkis.

Audre Lorde spitting an absolute gem: "Coalitions don't happen between parts of wholes. They happen with wholes coming together. They happen with different people coming together, recognizing each other's differences. We cannot become each other in order to work together. We must become ourselves."

It is about time we had a serious conversation about this topic Academia needs to step up and discuss this issue with serious intent Otherwise we will all get swept away The real loss is critical thinking which will negatively impact society and ultimately humanity

No one from History Reclaimed or the whole reactionary history camp seems to have any idea of or any interest in how history is actually taught in English and Welsh schools. The movement is highly dependent on straw men. Key Stage (11-13) on the left and GCSE AQA spec. on the right.

I should add, this is just a thread about Farage's friends in the UK. I didn't even get into his friends in Eastern Europe or across the Atlantic. Don't judge the man on his school-age antics, everyone has a right to have those forgotten. Judge the adult man by the company he keeps.

Who's "cancelling Christmas" now, eh, culture warriors? Since when did *primary schools* become legitimate targets for politically motivated abuse?

Why are people focusing on Nigel Farage's schoolboy racism? He has a much more recent track record here. Exhibit A: Gerard Batten, who served as UKIP General Secretary under Farage, served alongside him as an MEP & London Mayor candidate. The man who welcomed Tommy Robinson into UKIP.
