Timeline cleanse:

Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, we’ve been paying close attention to GenAI-created content and how it relates to Wikipedia. Explore Wiki Education's perspective on AI and what we learned in 2025: wp.me/p4LBez-zNO

I live these - all I need now is an excuse to use one in a lecture!

Wikipedia is an antidote to an increasingly poisoned information ecosystem go.nature.com/4pXIv2d

'There has been progress in the diversity of texts on offer in the GCSE English literature curriculum, but uptake in schools is still low with just 1.9% of GCSE pupils in England studying books by authors of colour, up from 0.7% five years ago, according to a report.' 1/2

'Compiled by the campaign group Lit in Colour, the report says progress is too slow and that at the current pace of change it will be 2046 before 10% of students answer a question about a text by an author of colour in their English literature GCSE.' 2/2

This is Luna. She faked having a paw injury after her human hurt their leg. Figured they felt silly hopping around like that and thought it'd be less embarrassing if she did it too. 13/10 (IG: claassenam)
