This is a really weird fantasia of Edinburgh (and its geography) as it never was and is *full* to the brim of the sorts of simple yet glaring errors and anachronisms you would never have gotten if you hadn't left it to a computer to just barf out an averagised slop answer.

Even by cult standards, this is just bonkers.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Image of an album cover with a black background and stylized wood-like illustration of a little girl in a broomstick; below her is a small boy and a cat sits in the broomstick. The album title is Folk Is Not A Four Letter Word 2.

Picked a used copy of this up this week and have fallen utterly in love with the work of Susan Christie. Not much chance of finding her album on vinyl for a decent price, it seems!

My cultural awakening: Leonardo da Vinci made me rethink surgery – I’ve since mended more than 3,000 hearts For one heart surgeon, seeing the Renaissance artist’s anatomical drawings gave him a natural understanding of the body that was often overlooked in modern medical science

'I’ve always believed that art and science can nourish each other. At Papworth, I’ve invited several artists in residence to work alongside me, and I encourage students to think in a broad, almost artistic way. I think both fields will make more progress by learning from each other.'

In which people CHOOSE TO VOTE for a female plumber representing a party with broadly liberal values and an unelected life peer declares it to be the end of liberal democracy.

This is a new approach from the spam journals: "Dear Dr Wallis, hope everything is good as bright as smile your face", from 'Taylor Swift' of the American Journal of Biomedical Science.

‘Like an electrical gong bath!’ The Sheffield supermarket going viral for the symphonic sound of its freezers Redditors are thrilled by the Co-op on Ecclesall Road, where a magnificent drone is reminiscent of Brian Eno’s ambient music. We take a visit to the back aisles

I've often wondered how Steven Pinker's amazingly sloppy research and baseless claims* have for so long received a free pass. I wonder whether it could have something to do with a. his connections with the rich and powerful; b. his claims often aligning with what they want to hear.
*See next post.

The Laibach Kitties did it for me.

Please join me in telling my husband @jasonbbernard.bsky.social that he needs to start making his brilliant collages available for sale 👇

Finished #SmallProphets and I want to watch it all over again. Just so, so wonderful ❤️

Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

Screenshot from the Telegraph saying Protesters accuse RNLI of being 'taxi service' for asylum seekers Dozens of campaigners accuse charity of using lifeboats to 'facilitate' illegal immigration

Imagine being so "patriotic" that you protest the Royal National Lifeboat Institute for saving lives.
Racist morons fuelled by hate.

OMG what an amazing thing to stumble upon! if only someone had noticed this before

(other than a whole field of historians)

I'm pretty sure I know. They aren't. We're not going to really be able to make a lot of progress in dealing with the implications of this tech unless and until we get rid of all this "woo-woo" talk about LLMs. Anthropic pushing this line is PR, unserious.

*life, obviously (waits for predictable troll reponses about lecturers not even being able to spell)

I am one of those sinister childless women lecturers mentioned in the article. I provide significant support to students in the form of mentoring, pastoral care, and subject-specific teaching, all of which I think count as nurturing actions that make student lofe better 🤷‍♀️

‘Handmaid’s Tale future’: Reform’s Matt Goodwin sparks outcry with fertility comments Byelection candidate accused of indulging ‘alt right fantasy’ by suggesting women need ‘biological reality’ check

"I long for the days when a midlife crisis for men like this meant getting a motorbike and a leather jacket, not trying to [get] elected so they could indulge their alt right fantasies".

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“.

75% of my students are future health professionals. Do you really want a physician or nurse or pharm. who has no critical reading/thinking skills, who cannot communicate worth a damn or knows enough to ask questions/problem-solve when something feels off? Would you put your life in the hands of AI?

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Oh dear. Does that speech you got an AI sprite to knock out look like it was written by a FUCKING LUNATIC? Take it to the Human Repair Shop.👇

Lovely conversation between customers in the local record shop this morning about #SmallProphets. All of us talking about how special Detectorists was (none of us avid TV watchers), and imagining this series as part of the same 'universe'.
