I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

At this point, JK Rowling has spent more time and energy writing about how much she hates a vulnerable part of the human condition that never did one goddamned fucking thing to harm her than she ever did writing Harry Potter.

I can do a full day's work then have a picnic tea by the sea. :-)

As an academic, I have decided to pre-empt AI taking my job, so I am going to take ITS job! I am going to start hallucinating, lying to my students, and drinking 700,000 litres of water

Sex Matters says gender-critical voices are being silenced. Yet when Amnesty International UK published research critical of them, they didn't publish a rebuttal; they threatened legal action. Freedom of expression isn't a one-way street. We have responded to Sex Matters' email:

I know you know this on bluesky, but I posted it on insta so I thought I should post here too. And if it makes someone second guess using AI for these things then maybe it helps.

I wonder if a news story about a male medical condition would ever refer to a man's 'tummy'?

the thing about llms is that they copy old work and have no ability to intentionally pursue lateral leaps of creative insight, so a world ruled by ai is a world of endless recycling of the past. imagine that. culture eating itself. imagine that. totalitarian nostalgia. imagine

Our latest blog explores what it feels like to be treated as an afterthought, why accessible spaces already struggle to meet disabled people's needs, and why true inclusion means designing environments that work for everyone, not simply moving marginalised people somewhere else...

Buckle up. I’ve been waiting for her next deep dive.

Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

I am this cat

Wandered into the valley between Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags yesterday even, and it's like anther world. There are orchids - ORCHIDS! - growning barely 10 minutes' walk from the Royal Mile. Edinburgh is a crazy city....

This is real patriotism.

if your 'defence' of women involves invasive and scientifically unfounded testing to determine who qualifies, you're not defending women, you're defending the patriarchy

Edward the Confessor, Henry I, Henry IV, Edward IV, Henry VII and Charles II all at one time had to flee from their country and seek safety in another.

The maths won’t be for everyone, but this part of the case should be understood by even the most transphobic. For everyone who isn’t, and can cope with a wee bit of maths, read the rest of the thread.

It's not the ~worst~ thing about tech now, but I fucking hate how dialog boxes increasingly no longer have a "no" option I don't want you to "ask again later," I want you to fuck off and leave me alone!

www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j... But Renaissance / Accelerated Reading, as anybody who has had to work with the system knows, can slew children's reading massively. The compulsory quiz after finishing is much more difficult for a factual book - yet these have typically been seen

At this point if you don’t credit the illustrator, I’m assuming it’s AI, and consigning you to the ‘write this person off forever’ file in my head.

1. Human rights only exist if they are universal and if you start taking away one group's rights, yo weaken everyone's. 2. There is a biological cause for gender incongruence. It'sis not a mental illness or a fetish. It's a standard deviation like left handedness or perfect pitch.

Excellent Makers' Market in Haddington Corn Exchange today. Real handcrafted stuff (too many fairs full of AI slop nowadays) and lots of lovely chat. Free admission too!

I am keen to support community events, third sectors, right up to national museums! But when I see an AI promo, well.... I am more likely to go to the next along instead. Don't shoot yourselves in the foot.

But I was told it was inevitable.

THE POINT OF LIFE IS TO PLAY

Dundee Botanic Gatdens is a hidden gem: a lovely place, well worth a visit, lots for all the family, on top of its scientific and academic worth. It truly benefits the whole community and it would be a loss on so many levels.

My main worry is that we’re banning social media for kids but not AI. So you can’t speak to real people online anymore, kids, but you sure can talk to your fake artificial friend who weirdly loves to talk about taking your own life!

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... Made me lol so gets posted.

Yes to this for my kids and yes to a lot of this for ME.

Social media: Don’t ban children, fix the platforms

She was murdered by fellow school kids and the internet was her social lifeline. It's so appalling the distortion happening here.

Kids are on their phones too much. I don't know why they don't use the many youth clubs, public swimming pools, community clubs or sports facilities successive governments and skint local authorities have underfunded, closed or sold to property developers.

Gotta love it when this happens. Didn't hugely want to order from this website. Good job too. There are LOTS of properties like ours which realio trulio don't have a number!

I had no idea men played soccer, too! Good for them! Go boy soccer!! ⚽️

Schools are often trauma factories for neurodivergent kids

Fried eggs should always be accompanied by a really hot cup of black coffee and I will die on his hill.

Old enough to remember the first time Doctor Who was dumped....
