i mean all this just shows you just because someone is famous and/or rich they are not better people and as a society we should stop idolise them

I happily live in Oxford, and am free to drive, cycle and walk wherever I want.

However Oxford traffic and city planning has been a disaster meaning that sadly not much is available nearby

I wish we had a 15 min city as it would really make my life better

โ€œLetโ€™s stay in touch, are you on Facebookโ€

Iโ€™m always happy to say no Iโ€™m not.

Facebook is not staying in touch itโ€™s low level stalking other lives and pretend friendships.

Real friendships and those worth the effort, they donโ€™t need Facebook to stay in touch

Everyoneโ€™s eyes are on bbc (cause English etc) but German media not dealing with the execution any better

A reminder to the news media: โ€œconflicting accountsโ€ is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

For those with 2016 nostalgia, it already all felt like weโ€™re heading for disaster then. You have to look at to 2012 for the last ok year.

Bemused that one long and short sock is an โ€œerrorโ€

Otherwise, wasnโ€™t it fun that spotting errors was a thing for kids, and I remember those from the 90s. Maybe now minimally helpful with early AI BS

"Research is messy. โ€ฆ Trying to protect students from that reality does them a disservice."

On #InternationalDayOfEducation, take a look back at this Working Life essay on teaching students about scientific failure. https://scim.ag/4sTaQcH

I do love the states, we go nearly every year. But not in 2025, and not now.

I canโ€™t wait til we can go again.

the only thing i agree on is that some books are too long. they run out of argument by the time they reach chapter 5 and keep repeating themselves.
