cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:
connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.
every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

At the risk of igniting a public debate about the design… we prepared for days like this. There are now more than 100 water fountains all over the city, and 4,000 water refill points. Fill up. Stay hydrated.

There are also plenty of other reasons why many people - political dissidents, those from conservative families, survivors of stalking and abuse - might want to completely legitimately remain anonymous online. Duncan is speaking from a position of enormous privilege here

my main take is that there's no point in a social media ban unless you're actually going to create spaces for kids and teenagers to build community, be it physical or virtual

social media that's bad for minors is obviously bad for adults too. crazy to me that the move seems to be to just accept that and ban minors rather than regulate the obvious design patterns that were put in there on purpose which make it harmful to its users

Neither Save The Children nor the NSPCC supports a government child safety policy. Usually, that would be the end of that policy. But for some reason it's always different rules when it's internet.

We must take on the hateful forces that seek to divide us. My statement on recent events in Belfast.
The knife attack in Belfast on Monday was truly horrific. My thoughts are with Stephen Ogilvy and his family, who deserve justice.  
 
Targeting and terrorising innocent people because of the colour of their skin, including setting fire to their homes, has nothing to do with justice or a desire to keep communities safe, however. It is racist mob violence, which has been organised, enabled and whipped up by those seeking to profit politically and financially from hatred, fear and disorder. 
 
Social media platforms who give money and reach to these individuals to promote their hate need to be held to account. They cannot be allowed to continue pouring petrol on the flames.  
 
The disgraceful violence is a direct consequence of the normalisation of vile, racist rhetoric across the UK, which needs to be challenged far more robustly in our political discourse.  
 
I welcome the steps the Prime Minister has taken to work with police and the First Minister of Northern Ireland. We must stand together to prevent further disorder, and to take on the hateful forces that seek to divide us.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan

There last few weeks shows how deeply principled and decent people can be, even when going through the most terrible pain. Their grace stands in stark contrast to those who would exploit their suffering for political gain.
