Using #AI assisted #Apps #programs to ‘write minutes’ of meeting; huge issues, it may be ok for simple summaries of decisions but totally fails to convey the nuance, weight, emphasis of discussion, in the sort of meetings about stuff that matters in my area #VoluntaryAction #SocialCare #Charities

#AI #FacialRecognition fail … #apple #Iphone #photos ‘identify this person’ feature fails to distinguish between my 2 non identical sons… delivering a selection of photos of either ( but not of both together 😂)

Don’t forget that tomorrow is @afewforgottenwomen.bsky.social’s collaborative research day. The theme this time is women who were born in 1819 - the same year as Queen Victoria. Hopefully exploring this cohort will help us find out about trends that might have influenced these women’s lives #GenHour

@matfraser.bsky.social Good to see you today, you can find out Disability & Horror zine here : files.libcom.org/files/2025-0...

Today I started transcribing the school log books for my #Sudbourne #OnePlaceStudy & I’m loving it! Many children were ‘irregular’ (in attendance) & often missed school to help in the fields. Stone picking & ‘topping beet’ being mentioned frequently #GenHour

So 'Why don't we go into the garden?' That was our question after finding many unused or neglected #carehome #gardens. Our aim is to turn that question into an invite enabling residents to step outside as they wish. www.stepchange-design.co.uk for our research findings

Who remembers this, 10 years ago , so poignant today #GodOnlyKnows #BrianWilsonRIP #BBCMusic youtu.be/XqLTe8h0-jo?...

I've arrived @bsky.app & hope to find lots of my friends & colleagues passionate about ensuring people living in care settings can continue to step outside as they have all their lives. Join my mission to get the doors open. #carehomes #dementia #garden #designers #stepchangedesign #activities

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

White House cutting ties with Harvard, ordering federal agencies to revoke $100 million in contracts. GAO letter orders a search for alternative vendors by June 6, signaling Harvard Ivy prestige not enough to retain federal funds due to an alleged presidential grudge over admissions.

So, wearing another hat, I went to #RHS #Chelsea #FlowerShow, which was greener and much more ‘democratic’ than a decade ago…it was lovely. Now where are the #Horti brigade on @bsky.app?

Thank you @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social for this poem in @theguardian.com. I work with amazing people from all over the world. Spain, Ireland, Philippines, India, Iraq, Syria, Poland and many other countries. Labour's language around immigration is so disappointing.

There are significant issues with the process set out in the Bill for people to 'consent' to euthanasia. The sponsor has admitted that she sees nothing wrong with disabled people opting for euthanasia because they feel a burden on their relatives, for example, rather than to help themselves.

When a WW2 veteran runs over a Swasticar in a Sherman tank

An anniversary worth marking. I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

BILL GATES: “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/bdd9...

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

This is why Labour has always been at its best when the Methodist tradition has been to the fore.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

For centuries, a “gossip” was a woman who attended another woman's delivery. The word was a corruption of “god-sib” or “god-sibling,” meaning “sister in the Lord.” The gossips offered support to mother and midwife. Only later did the term take on a derogatory meaning.

Hi Labour, rather than learning all the wrong lessons from this election defeat - what about taking some people out of poverty and improving some lives?

NEW: Away from local elections, I expect the government to publish its impact assessment into assisted dying today. It sounds as if it will come to similar conclusions as one done in Scotland - that there are some costs, but also (quite sadly) some savings for the NHS.
