Whenever I hear about the stuff people get caught with on work laptops, I’m honestly more surprised the office tech works well enough to send an email with a large… attachment (😉🤣) yet alone a cornucopia of erotica.

Really important reminder of how Reform aren’t just Little Englanders, but part of an international far-right network which wants to take away fundamental rights we all take for granted - and wants to use “free speech” as a lever

Frustratingly we know the solutions to all this. Obviously stop building on flood plains right next to rivers that’s obviously stupid, but also we need to be aggressively restoring woodland on our valleys, peat in the uplands, reintroducing beavers across the country.

Everyone,

I’m under so much stress that I couldn’t sleep. I haven’t slept. I am short of my car payment and I have nothing.

I was raped in July, lost a pregnancy shortly after and my job and Covid messed me up.

So if anyone can please help me keep my car and help me pay for daycare, please.
astrotoya.bsky.social
Everyone, I’m 2 months behind on my car payment and it could be taken soon if I don’t at least pay the $360 I owe them.

Begging yall to please help me with this and help me with daycare. I’m $110 behind on that too.

My v e n m o is : @astrotoya

The shrew’s extinction increases the tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 to 39 species. This is far more than for any other country. These losses represent about 10% of all Australia’s land mammal species before colonisation 🧪

And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct
Australia’s only known shrew has been declared extinct. Its loss emphasises the need for national protection of Australia’s rare and unique wildlife.

I don't think we talk enough about the very fundamental and insidious role by EdTech consultants in the whole fascist project. And, the fact that administrators defer to them and dismiss or even punish educators that contest or question the AI in education paradigm is telling.

Yesterday I received three(!) emails from Pearson trying to sell me AI ed tech that they marketed as explicitly "safe for students." They know this stuff is dangerous and are desperate to head off the criticisms.
disabilitystor1.bsky.social
For those of us in higher education this company has snaked its way into our institutions—and this is the kind of care and thought they put into the risks of their products.
Do you imagine our students are safe with these people?

Opencourseware and coursera have been great for African archaeology/ancient history, visual studies and linguistics - it’s definitely no problem finding the courses!
finokoye.bsky.social
One thing that would be great is being able to take open modules via coursera etc. as part of one’s masters.

Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem auditing extra online modules to make up for what’s missing but making it more cost effective might actually make coursera etc courses more appealing.

Shares appreciated! We’ve never been asked to resign to hopelessness. Last week, you helped single mom Mai escape from north Gaza—with 5s and 10s. This was nothing short of lifesaving. Let that fill you with boldness.

Look I love Ciarán Hinds as Caesar, 10/10 no notes, so glad the acting thing worked out for him, honoured to have witnessed such an amazing debut*

BUT now I’ve read this paper about Caesar as ancient Roman metrosexual dandy and I’m… I’m intrigued what a Chalamet-type could do in a ROME remake…

One of the most hilarious episodes in British history to learn about, particularly the decades and indeed centuries of “definitely nothing fishy was going on here, everything was legit and above-board” that followed.

I think the historiography is changing but it used to be taken for granted that England had never been successfully invaded since 1066. London was occupied by Dutch troops for a year and half!

Printers are like horses, they can sense fear and exploit it accordingly. The trick is to approach them with confidence and never show your belly.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
