What the hell logic is that - "at some point in the future the extra time won't be there?" No, and neither will the exam which is an entirely arbitrary way of assessment quite unlike almost all real life situations you'll ever meet.

Yeah, this is sadly very naive. They've already done it to trans rights (which let them undermine basic principles of bodily autonomy) and made strides on anti-abortion rights - their "free speech protesters" outside abortion clinics regularly get to launder their views via the TV and print media

Interesting and troubling report/thread here on vulnerability of scientific bodies to politicisation, something the public do not want and is not in there interest but could happen nonetheless if politicians with selective or hostile views on science and evidence were in charge

Leviathan @l3vlat4an X.com Greta Thunberg donned a keffiyeh with an "AUTISM" T-shirt that included an image of a skeleton dual wielding automatic rifles before she left on her flotilla. What do you think she was trying to convey with this t-shirt? AUTISM

That she's cool as fuck?

Living an episode of Brass Eye?

It's International Coffee Day. A moment to put our caffeine-based differences aside and unite against our common enemy: soup.

That feeling when you reply to something downthread and find you just repeated what the op said without realising and then want to crawl under a rock.

It's just another tax but in labour not currency

Also, it's hardly volunteering if you have to do it is it?

"Ai doesn't seem to ve increasing productivity, but research indicates it does trick ppl into thinking they're more productive while damaging actual skills and cognition"

Every reply "yeah but it works for me!"

"AI is the asbestos we are shovelling into the walls of our society. Our descendants will be digging it out for generations."

"AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job."

Oof.

Disappointment at Starmer’s ID cards on ice…
BUT…
- concern about illegal immigration exploded because the far right wanted it to.
- immigrants are not to blame for creaking public services.
Govts are.
- the hostile environment encourages exploitation.
- don’t wave the flag in our faces. Be honest.

2 frame line drawn comic by Amii @Amiiillustrates 1. Older man with his arms crossed saying "Autism didn't exist in my day" to a younger person 2. Older man returns to his hobby of miniature railway saying "Now get out, you know it's my train time"

Never mind autism, someone needs to look into a cure for absolute narcissistic self belief that many rich and posh people have. We need an end to people like Trump just blindly saying he's the best, or Boris Johnson types blathering away complete bollocks with absolute certainty.

Has anyone tried telling Trump the science says he can fly now and seeing what happens

If you are using AI to write your stuff, you are not a writer.

Full. Fucking. Stop.

If AI* is so good then how come it's so shit?

*it's not AI.

The UK’s problems aren’t caused by immigration It’s not hard to see how so many came to worry about the issue. But the data isn’t there

"the hard data suggests that the largest of the UK’s very real problems are no more being caused by mass immigration than they are by a group of charity fundraisers rowing past Great Yarmouth"

There's no excuse of ignorance any more. Every single person on that fascist march knew who Tommy Robinson was and every single one of them knew why they were there.

This isn't Brexit. People weren't conned. They willingly went out to join in, led by a five times jailed thug. Stop making excuses.

If you are still on X you are supporting this.

If I were the UK Government I would simply not route all my communications through the platform whose owner just called for regime change in Britain and said "fight back or die"

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

Cunt

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

Fascinating paper using the unique circumstances of Starmer's "Islands of Strangers" speech falling in the middle of BESIP fieldwork to assess its impact.

Reduced Labour support + no evidence of reduced support for Reform UK.

The latest of many studies suggesting that accommodation doesn't work.

Is that the right term? Do I mean minions?

I've passed this vital information on to my employees.

surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity

Idle — The Wealth Race Can your hard work beat The Rich? Play and find out!

We need to tax wealth not work.

Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets.

Someone made a game to show this:
