What could possibly go wrong in an increasingly deceptive, polarised and isolated social sphere? And surely everyone has already been thinking about that since day one, and not only after the OpenAI announcement on mental health issues?

Ernesto Priego @ernestopriego.com · 22h

It is possible to keep conscious critical boundaries as a user even with today’s tools but it is against the grain and most users might not have the capacity to do that sadly- the crux lies in human language as an intersubjective, deceptively reciprocal means of interaction with a non-human.

I think the very model of a bot that communicates verbally as a human being was always-already a mental health dustbin fire and no amount of constraints or guidelines could “mitigate” issues. The very model depends on users establishing an intersubjective relationship with a non-human agent.

Finally been jabbed for Covid (last month) and flu (yesterday). Privately. Wasn't straight forward to get it done. Unless you are adamant on getting jabbed it's just easier, simpler, definitely less expensive to just carry on. May them offer some protection. 🙏

The importance of spaces for collective action, learning, and reflection are crucial, as is an openness to valuing processes of informal and non-formal learning and knowledge produced from within people’s everyday experience.” Choudry (2019): https://doi.org/10.1080/13642987.2019.1630382

El COVID persistente deja una huella inmunitaria distinta que podría guiar futuros tratamientos

Un estudio de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos revela que estos pacientes producen menos anticuerpos frente a la proteína completa del virus, pero mantienen la respuesta frente a la región clave de entrada. Los resultados podrían guiar mejores estrategias terapéuticas contra el síndrome post-COVID.

Every morning waking up to news about how migration is Bad, Very Bad, Very Bad for the UK. That it's ruining this country. Picture it like water from the roof of a cave, falling on the head of every migrant who's made their home here: drip, drip, drip, every second, for years, making a hole...

Indeed, an dnone of it is helped by the mainstream media, including the BBC, that continue prioritising and amplifying negative and hateful narratives about immigration and immigrants

Dan Sohege @danielsohege.bsky.social · 6d

There are obviously also significant additional reasons for increases in hate. None of it's helped by politicians, including the government, using minorities and marginalised communities as political pawns though. That kind of toxicity feeds through into the public consciousness. 3/

In retrospect it's quite amazing how international the literary offer was when I was a young person living in Mexico- from the late 80s to the early 00s the average fiction and poetry reader had access to a really diverse global trove of authors rarely seen in British mainstream bookshops.

FWIW I'm personally in wait-and-see mode.

Since 2017 they have alternated between men and women authors (for Literature), but in all categories I think this year there's been like one woman and 9 men so far?

I used to be more switched on and I used to have read something by Literature Nobel Prize winners before they won the accolade. So, I haven't read him. I'm curious, but also disappointed it's another bloke. Ihttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2025/bio-bibliography/
