Reminder that a significant component of all of UK HE’s response to AI boils down to “You must change your teaching so that students can use AI; you must also change all your assessment so that students can’t use AI.”

Getting paid to go to the Riyadh comedy festival but shaking my head the whole time so they know I don’t approve

We’re going to make migrants read Ian McEwan? Now that’s a hostile environment.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

These are all flagrant lies, unsourced yet printed in a newspaper that allegedly fact checks things. The rest of it is meandering panic-bait that treats jail breaking LLMs. They don’t even describe the virus! They just said someone made one. Bullshit!

@hagenilda.bsky.social your sort of language option on an app? www.reddit.com/r/ENGLISH/s/...

This is the maddest tour I've ever seen in my life. It seems like he's doing more gigs than there are days in the year.

Marginalized ppl criticizing techbro / tech feudalists and AI as a tool of fascism = grounds for popping someone's account. Doesn't matter if you the most accomodatin' soul this side of the Dixie, or if you even actually DID ANYTHING--per KC here, just being in proximity to embarrassing them? Dead.

The Labour Party is the genocide party.

Hey chums , don’t forget that tomorrow is a special day for a free speech warrior & surprise masturbator to join hands at Riyadh comedy festival (& Jack Whitehall will be there for some splashback) - & they’ll still be on your TV all the time because these values are more acceptable than socialism

Ok so all that stuff about how parties can only win from the centre was bullshit then? Like I think I agree, but it would be great to clarify that point www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sometimes one just has to acknowledge that a banana isn't an egg, you know?

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

All of our vice chancellors should be out there pushing for an end to tuition fees and a properly funded sector. He’s right - he did go to uni for free as did many folks of his age. Time to roll that ladder back down. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you're going to watch Alien: Earth just finish after episode 7: you'll get just as little resolution as on Episode 8 but without having to sit through that bizarre mess of plotting in the finalé

UK politics' new hot-wash cycle: - Racist A says or does something terrible; - Racist B is exposed as a crook, scammer and/or abuser; - Labour Party says "Only we can see off the threat of the racists"; - Labour Party announces a policy that racists want.

"What's it like, being the UK's first Black woman professor of history?"

When the press goes after Labour it’s just because the press is right wing and always has it in for Labour APART FROM 2015-2019 when the press was just being good and righteous and naughty nasty Jimmery Croopins brought it on himself.

"Heathrow, it's me, I'm Cathay"

Hegseth is summoning hundreds of the most senior US generals and admirals so he can give them a lecture on the “warrior ethos” this week.

Oh my god, that is absolutely fucking awesome. Never change, the Guardian, you are just too good

Remember how lefties used to say "abolish ICE" back in the 2010s, and got roundly scolded by the centrists for it ever since, and now events have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were 1000% on the correct side of history, but somehow they're still being scolded? Fun.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

That’s what’s happened and it’s specifically happening *now* because of a unified political/media project to deliberately ratchet up racial hatred in the old, at the same time as hounding the anti-racist movement as Britain-hating traitors conspiring with Them, to undermine the fatherland.

The examples are of alleged crimes, including physical assault and incitement to violence. Whatever you think about ‘free speech’ or the state, there isn’t any dispute that these are, in fact, crimes in the eyes of the law, not social ‘cancellation’

People are making Rapture jokes like there's no tomorrow

Catherine in #theinheritance proving ACAB in episode 5.

Ahahaha ‘“You can’t have autism, you don’t like trains”, said by an NHS psychiatrist medical director who had “worked with autistic people for many years”. (later diagnosed with autism).’ What the fuck

Would Sir Keir even have the job he now does, if it wasn’t for at very least the consent of the hard right wing placemen in Ofcom, the BBC and other captured quangos and regulators? No, he obviously fucking would not. There’s your answer.

If Ted Cruz's argument were about defending freedom of speech as obviously correct then maybe. But his argument is just, "What if some mythical strawman leftie Democrat we scare each other with in GOP does this back to us?!" so he doesn't think it's wrong, he just isn't sure there're no comebacks.

I mean why would he bother. Rightwing parties come & go, but there’s always a market for a Labour guy saying the left is betraying Real Voters

trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

Queen

If it doesn’t, can we throw it away?

Three days to focus-group his spontaneous outrage...

If by “we” he means “the Telegraph”, then he’s absolutely right: my memory is that this paper was the first to lean very hard into importing the most idiotic forms of American culture war, from the mid-2000s onwards.

"I want to dedicate this next one to an absolute piece of shit of a human being. The pronouns? Was/were. Because if you talk shit, you will get banged! Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk, you piece of shit." 💅🏻 🥂 🎉 Absolutely incredible pure king shit

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin. Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation. We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

It do be like that

God, this list is so upsetting. Genuinely people I admired for their talent and/or the person I thought they were. Absolutely gutted. No kings, no queens, no monarchs. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 variety.com/2025/digital...

Periodically I re-share the @99pi.org episode I reported here on public bathroom design itself, its history and present to repeat: This is and has always been about policing of especially women by the white men in charge ... And it hurts lots others, arguably all. open.spotify.com/episode/3Zdl...

These people have smarted themselves into the dumbest fucking arguments. Determining whether someone is "doing politics the right way" depends almost entirely on the content of their speech! If someone lies constantly and endorses authoritarians that's not practicing good politics.

Lots of people in this country need to hear the message - it isn't the left's fault that everything you wanted and fought for is absolute fucking dogwater. I, too, am sorry that you won and imposed this shit on us, but we actually tried to stop it.
