Wake up Babe, a new euphemism for students getting drunk just dropped
Screenshot of a post from South Wales police. Text reads: We are operating some additional Safety Buses in #Cardiff as the city welcomes new and returning students. So far this week more than 10 people, who have become vulnerable in the night-time economy, have been provided support and transport to a safe place.

I know that energy usage from AI prompts comes up in classroom discussion all the time.

I hope this section in my latest post helps people provide a more grounded answer to the question, rather than just speculating or citing out-of-date information. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/mass-intel...

August used to be the silly season for news. A reminder of what journalists risk to bring us news and makes sure the dark deeds of others are brought into the light.
