I think it's really nice they do this but this is my fairly regular request that someone in the PSA puts the Scottish Higher results day in the diary and creates an equivalent post. We need Scottish students to study politics as well.

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.

One of my favorite things about #peatlands is their patterning at different scales caused by millennia of interplay between hydrology and peat accumulation - mainly Sphagnum mosses. Spent my Saturday evening looking at satellite images of the Hudson Bay Lowlands - a perfectly reasonable activity…
