Starmer’s handling of the vetting story has somehow become a bigger problem for Starmer than the vetting story. Extraordinary.

Not to be seen on the BBC TV News, doesn’t suit their agenda .

Also not to be seen in the Telegraph, Express, Mail, Sun, etc.

And nowadays not in the Guardian either.

When we promised to pay the energy bills of everyone in the street, we meant it in the same way as when we promised to cut council tax.

I need to get mochi in there!

Ihana 🩷 niin ne vaan on kissat rakkaita

As leader of the Brexit Party Farage is directly responsible for the utter shit show we have suffered since the referendum. Renaming your party ReformUK will not erase that fact. Farage was, is and always will be the Brexit Party.

This is exactly the level of stupidity we need to get Reform into power.

Has anvone dealt with fake reviews? This person is mad because I used Al to illustrate my book and wrote a review without actually reading or purchasing the book. I reported it to Amazon but was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Miss 會文文文女 Book contains generated content that does not belong to the author Reviewed in Canada on April 11. 2026 When I see authors like Choosing to use generated illustrations, it makes me believe they do not stand by their own product. I would support the author if they paid for real illustrated artwork- it is shameful since the story could have been helpful to children going through the same thing. Since the art is obviously generated by artificial intelligence, I don't have confidence that the written content belongs to the author; The author chose to use generated art and so the book content is likely to be generatec as well. Invest your money elsewhere, this book is not worth the price.

Don't want negative attention for selling slop?

Don't sell slop.

Your brain feels all the pain you feel but your brain itself doesn't feel any pain.

I’ve been laughing at it all day

One of my friends just got a cat a while ago and I was all about easily accessible litter trays, more than one in the house. Didn’t account for her daughter who has just gone done a shit in one of the litter trays 🥲🫠

You don’t have to know much anatomy to know just how terrible this website is. They have pages covering more or less every main organ system with considerable amount of written info as well. All AI slope some of it quite funny.

Widespread use of AI makes trusting any information online a bad idea unless from a verified source. Would you trust dna results from a lab that has this on their website?

It’s not funny 😭

Ouch

Same tbh

I haven't done my own microwave or oven. That's WAY too advanced.

I'll add this skill to my CV, it's as good as a degree!

I just managed to change the time on my Mini without consulting a manual. I’m essentially a mechanic!

I’m not convinced it’s safe to travel to. My social media might be too spicy and we’ve all heard of normal holiday goers being detained. Many more sensible places to host international conferences than countries directly hostile toward some delegates based on nationality

We need a system where government heavily subsidises cost of education. The priorities are all wrong. Universities can’t operate at a loss and so much find cash cows. This leads to low quality degree programmes that are grossly over subscribed by intl fee payers costing student and staff wellbeing

I am upset that a conference id like to attend is in the US next year. I wish international conferences didn’t take place in countries that are aggressors in war. I wouldn’t go conferencing in Russia or Israel either.

‘Opposing the inevitability of AI at universities is possible and necessary’ | Radboud University Since the widespread release of ChatGPT in December of 2022, AI has taken over much of the world by storm – including academia. Most of this happened with very little pushback, despite a myriad of iss...

Yesterday I got blocked by someone on Facebook marketplace who I was waiting for all day to come pick up a free fire pit he was so keen to get he messaged me 5 times about it. Go figure. People are weird.

The biological sciences make no statement whatsoever about how many genders there are

Beware survivorship bias in advice on science careers For objective careers advice, talk to those who left science as well as those who stayed.

I’m not sure if I ever shared on Bluesky this article we wrote on how almost everyone giving career advice is susceptible to survivorship bias, but I think it was good and you should read it

I thought my solar lanterns had stopped working but turns out it was just that we didn’t have the sun out for months

Philosophers don't universally agree on things, including even the fact that philosophers don't universally agree on things, so we're kinda exempt from this one.
