An outdoorsy photoshoppy mole- likes National Trust scones & Dartmoor. A bookish mole in a hole seeking the return of integrity. Not sure this account adds much to it though. #AltText - no AI🚫

Reminding National Trust members not to turn into a pumpkin - please *use your vote* before the end of the month to support genuine candidates and keep the disingenuous ‘Restore’ stooges away from the Trust’s assets. Easiest way is use ‘Quick Vote’ to endorse official NT AGM recommendations.

Pumpkin patch at Hinton Ampner

Very large pumpkins on bare soil in a walled garden with espalier fruit trees, ornamental planting beds and outbuilding roofs in the background.

I’ll be keeping a daily dairy of this constant churn in our timelines - it’s whey worse than when it started.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

"I'm a Russian man, we're  f**ng killing you [Ukrainians] b**ches." A Russian-speaking man attacked a Ukrainian family on a Swiss train simply because he heard them speaking Ukrainian.

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry described the video as "unacceptable hate speech and ethnic hatred."⤵️

Be kind to your cow orkers - Lullingstone keeps the receipts.

Europa riding on a bull (Zeus/Jupiter) mosaic at Lullingstone Roman Villa (EH) in Kent.

Mosaic detail circled - winged Roman putto pulling the tail on the bull carrying Europa on its back.
Caption from archive tweet: “This is surely an incontrovertible contemporary record of cow orking”

The houses in question, which the Telegraph is having a fannywobble about this time? Worth tens-of-millions of pounds.

It’s absurd this keening about the problems of billionaires - many of whom only have the properties as investments and contribute sweet blue fuck all to the local economy anyway.

MAGA’s war on Antifa: ‘A terror network they have created in their own imagination’ | The News Agents

House Speaker Mike Johnson has warned of Antifa-backed ‘hate America’ marches taking place this weekend, but is it just protests arranged by pensioners furious at Donald Trump’s administration?

I am still waiting for a detailed, pedagogically-backed argument for how AI improves learning. I have only been told it’s a helpful tool that will help students learn and teachers prep faster, but still waiting for what it’s supposed to do that human educators with more funding can’t do.

Erin Grievances @erinbartram.bsky.social · 23h

It felt like an extremely radical thing to say "you can just not teach them how to use this. i don't even know what it means to teach them AI skills but you can also just not. it might make your students more hireable, honestly."

But this idea that it's a tool whose existence justifies its use?
