This is why the war won’t end, they’re all making money whilst depleting the arsenal so more money is poured into arms companies. Everybody is making money out of this except the average Joe who is being hit in the pocket over this monumentally idiotic war.

I am tired of us as a species. That’s it. Let’s be honest, folks, we’re terrible at this being in charge thing. Let’s ask the elephants, dolphins, and pandas to take over and run the show for a while, yes?

I do not like the new REF rule that attributes your work to the institution you were employed by when you wrote it. Especially since most writing is now done in non-work time. Even more than that I hate that journals are making us affiliate to unis that we have long since left …

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

At some point someone is going to have to tell actors to stop it with the plastic surgeries. They all look alike and it’s distracting when characters can’t laugh or have no expression lines on their face

I sharply disagree with this. Several reasons. “Engaging students through messages, searching conversation” can certainly generate ideas and reveal what parts of an argument need elaboration, but only writing forces you to be precise. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/o...

If I do not treat writing as essential for achieving thought, it is not clear why I should force my students to.

It’s terrifying being disabled and completely reliant on someone else for survival. Being unable to feed or clean yourself is unsettling. There isn’t help available. If your caregiver doesn’t show? You suffer. If they’re abusive? You suffer. The system does not protect us.

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

In practice, AI literacy doesn’t start with building the tool for your personal use. It starts with understanding yourself as a collection of tasks who should subcontract those out to a machine. Almost no regular person’s life currently exists as such.

Luxury retailers want taxpayers to fund a 20% tax break for foreign tourists. They paid consultancy Cebr to claim this will raise £2.6bn for the UK. That convinced Sadiq Khan and Kemi Badenoch. But it's false: a free lunch. Four basic errors mask a £600m loss. Thread:
