This is honestly the treatment Trump voters should get in the U.S. too. Don't let them try to hide from the effects of their choice. It's always the people who believe in the worst things that get mad when someone "makes things political."

I have so many examples of students questioning whether I know enough about a topic to teach it. I asked in faculty meeting "who has been questioned whether they are qualified to teach a class?" The women raised their hands, the men didn't. It's definitely rooted in sexism and racism.

Greg Davies: Great task, well done. Didnβ€˜t eat a thing.

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

I built a free tool that shows how night-time lights have changed anywhere on Earth.

Here's how it works and why it's useful for monitoring conflict, disasters, development and growth. πŸ‘‡

A group of developers is proposing a lodge and a replacement for the Carlson Center off of Henderson Road in Fairbanks.

Traffic alone makes this an idiotic idea, but the AI generated design is something else.

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

Not following this too closely and I am generally a stellar sea lion hater (they’re mean and scary) but this is your annual reminder that sea lions don’t endanger Columbia River salmon, DAMS DO THAT
