Yet again asking peacock or any sports streaming service to add the ability to just turn commentary off and listen to the crowd noises instead.
19 April 1943 | Groups of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began the uprising against Germans. Their heroic battle lasted 27 days.
Today we remember the bravery & sacrifice of people who chose to resist against impossible odds to die in dignity & save the human spirit.

picture of data centre in US desert state - title: "Facing up to the environmental harms of ed-tech"
Ed-tech as climate criminal? 🎙️
Colm O’Neill makes a really interesting case for rethinking ed-tech in light of its environmental costs ... I got to talk to him about the environmental harms associated with ed-tech and alternate ‘perma-computing’ approaches: www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...

Good HE is really simple: quality time spent with subject experts who know and care about their students. My university and many others are deliberately abandoning this truth in favour of financial and organisational efficiency.
"History has lied to you".
No it hasn't, and it's really sad that a university is using this framing.
Historians debate evidence - often, as here, quite fragmentary. They question received ideas, test new theories, correct mistakes.
That's the joy of history. But it doesn't mean others "lied". /
School bans Twilight & Terry Pratchett books. Their rationale / excuse (hidden at end of article)?
"the school admits that the categorisations of the books were written using AI, writing: “Although the categorisation was generated using AI, I consider this classification to be broadly accurate.”"

Book Group The last Thursday of every month was Book Group, when the books would gather together to discuss Brian. “It’s no fun here any more,” remarked Bleak House, glumly. “Why doesn’t he read us?” whined the Grapes of Wrath. “It makes me so angry!” “I’m sure he only bought me so he can show me off to his friends,” complained Ulysses, in a stream of self-consciousness. “I bet he can’t even remember my name, The Idiot,” muttered a voice from the Russian literature section. “That’s because he avoids you like The Plague,” said another. “C’est vrai!” came a cry. “It is like I do not exist.” “Let’s not give up on him yet.” It was Brave New World. After some Persuasion, they agreed to give him one last chance. “Be quiet!” cried Waiting for Godot with Great Expectations. “Here he comes now!” Brian entered the room, with his phone. He sat down and watched some videos of baby pandas falling over. After an hour or so, he started googling cats dressed as celebrities. On the shelf, the books waited with uncracked spines, their silence speaking volumes. Brian Bilston
