2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

I didn't know about this, looks like a fiasco...why??

but did anyone need this or is it a solution in search of a problem

yes I usually show my on campus/remote days on calendar so people have some idea whether i am likely to be around. some technology feels like, i didn't need it but i don't mind it, but this is tipping over into the just F off category.

its true, i go to the office and then waste so much time tracking my colleagues movements, why wont they just tell me exactly where they are at all times, said no normal person

What do UK graduates do? Lots of information in this annual report.

A reminder that Humanities graduates are quite employable. Compare unemployment rates for Biology (8.4%), Chemistry (5.9%) and Physics (8.0%) with English literature (6.4%), History (7.6%) and Languages (7.6%) for example.

we have to go back. to warn them.

A post from the US Homeland Security, reading “This Thanksgiving, there is no room at the table for invaders.”

And still, there are those who say that Americans can’t do irony.

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Looks like a wonderful project!

I always wonder are these people against roads, maybe there should be no schools, no parks?

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

oh nooo rest and recuperate and feel better soon!

An important reminder that when you see the term "anti-woke" it is often a euphemism for "contains material from Stormfront"

"Shame, that once-great regulator of social norms and executive behavior, has all but disappeared from public life. In its place is denial, defiance, and the noxious vice signaling of the investor class."

This insight from @caseynewton.bsky.social is very good. It gets at something I've been trying to work out - the death of hypocrisy in tech, making shamelessness the most effective strategy.

Government’s last chance to keep control of digital Digital sovereignty isn’t optional anymore. We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data

We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data.

There are those of us who have been saying that the best preparation for "prompt engineering" is likely to learn how to read, write, and think and, well, here you go.

This part from the #Covid19 inquiry speaks directly to something myself and Linsey McGoey wrote about in 2020 (published as journal article in 2024 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....): the construction of *impossibility to act* as the key feature of post-liberalism (a thread 🧵👇)

I remember when people used to say the US was in danger of falling into authoritarianism and violent repression. The good old days.

I never had nor gained any German except that I now use the term Zukunft to denote the uncanny experience of the uncanny that you somehow already knew was going to happen

Not to worry Dan, once education has become how to assist AI in this subject then we will all welcome our new brobot overlords.

I love Dark

Walk into the classroom.
Give students pens & papers (no, they won't have pens).
Ask them to work individually on a reflection task for 10 min.
Count until they get bored and start fidgeting.
If you're lucky, you reach 5 min.
Sad but true.
Education became so transactional.
#BringThinkingBack

I think unfortunately we are all out of the 'habit' but at least some of us used to do this more often in the past and maybe can access it again. But I worry about the ones who believe answers and ideas only exist following a prompt, because believing it is so makes it true.

I think giving them pen and paper and asking them to think for 10 minutes is a pretty good approach to be honest. Did you have a conversation afterwards about how it felt, whether it was strange for them, did ideas start to flow after a while?
