It’s invisible to most people in the UK, but any TikTok post that’s remotely political is flooded in the comments with bots saying variations of “vote reform”.
And that’s just got to be swaying young people who haven’t got party loyalties or who don’t consume mainstream media.

Good luck. Make sure you vote for younger candidates when you're able to vote in elections. It's a real oligarchy out there.

Box for Broadcasts is supposed to have everything that was on TV isn't it? Year upon year I end up having to drop clips because they disappear from what I thought was an archive.

Vote for Sarah and vote for early career candidates. They very rarely get elected in the RHS

You might want to look at explainable AI or "XAI". There are people looking to de-black-boxify AI so we can follow the source base and logic and make sure it's doing good history.

AI tools we can use online change faster than academic publishing timelines, so by the time something's out it's dated.

UK's first 'super-university' to be created as two merge from 2026 Universities are facing ongoing financial worries, with the regulator saying other mergers could follow.

First university merger announced in the UK. People in HE will have feelings, but I don't think this is the last.

One vice chancellor.

For my book I archived every webpage and cite the dated version within the Wayback Machine. If it's timing out it's because it's a physical machine that has to load a tape to give you the webpage. It's a common problem with their site but a strategy that lets them capture a lot.

It’s not new but I always go back to Donald Schonn ‘The Reflective Practitioner’ (1982) to sell students on the value of reflection. It’s about nursing but transcends disciplines

Reddit pulls plug on Wayback Machine archives: Here’s what that means for your digital history Reddit is blocking the Wayback Machine from indexing its posts, comments, and profiles in a bid to stop AI firms from scraping data.

Reddit is blocking indexing by the Wayback Machine in an effort to keep AI companies from using Reddit threads as free training data.

A loss for web archiving but I can see this becoming a wider trend to protect against big AI
