Research shows that ChatGPT is changing your brain People worry that students are increasingly using generative AI in their work. It saves time, but what is it doing to their brains?

What happens to your brain when you use ChatGPT to write your essay? MIT watched students’ brain activity to find out. The results are worrying.

Britain’s β€˜medieval’ health inequality is devastating NHS, experts say Exclusive: Health service estimated to be spending Β£50bn a year on effects of deprivation and child poverty * Britain in 2025: sick man of Europe battling untreated illness crisis * Downing St has a radical change in mind for the NHS: shifting its focus from treatment to prevention Britain’s β€œmedieval” levels of health inequality are having a β€œdevastating” effect on the NHS, experts have warned, with the health service estimated to be spending as much as Β£50bn a year on the effects of deprivation. Rising rates of child poverty have led to a growing burden on hospitals, with the knock-on cost to the NHS comparable to the annual defence budget. Continue reading...

The aptly named Dr Bull has been made Reform Party Chairman.

Having been acquainted with his political journey over the last 6 years, here's my cast iron guarantee - it will end very badly indeed.

Post Office Horizon IT scandal compensation hits Β£1bn A total of Β£1.039bn has been awarded to just over 7,300 sub-postmasters, the latest figures show.

Post Office Horizon IT scandal payouts hit Β£1bn.

Postmasters pressured into accepting less.

No contribution from PO execs, Fujitsu, lawyers, accountants and others who benefitted from wrongful prosecutions.

Despite evidence no one charged for perverting justice. Will they ever be?

Investigation launched after deportee breaks free on Heathrow runway Man apprehended after freeing himself from restraints and sprinting across runway at Terminal 2

From a professional perspective, it is interesting that at no point is there a question about the restraint practices of Mitie. The way in which deportation flights work involves deliberately scaring people, putting them automatically in flight, fight or freeze.

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic.

β€œLess lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities.

If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

Trump orders National Guard to LA after clashes The city sees a second day of clashes over raids by federal agents on undocumented migrants.

Trump's authoritarian, xenophobic anti-migrant agenda is going to rip large parts of America apart.
It isn't migrants who are a threat to the US, it's ICE and Trump.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.

And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.

This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz.

The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.
