My friend messaged me this, it’s a good reminder why it’s so important to be loud against AI ‘art’. Schools and teachers really need to understand that encouraging kids to embrace AI art does them SUCH a disservice, kids deserve to learn the joy and reward of being creative! It’s ESSENTIAL.
We just did a secondary school tour and there was a display board with around 10 after school club posters. Each one was Al slop, looked shite

No one should be making a profit from children's care Add your name to our petition calling for an end to profit in children's social care: vist.ly/5kcqu
Screenshot of a We OWn It tweet that says "A National Care Service is long overdue and a welcome step.   But if we're serious about building a care system that works, children's social care must be at the heart of it.   Right now, an average children's home placement costs councils around £404k per year.   And in 2021/22, the largest independent children's social care providers recorded £310 million in profit, from the public purse.   Andy Burnham is right to say that we need a system with “care that is about people, not profit”. Reforms of social care must end profit in children’s social care.   No one should be making profit from the the most vulnerable children."

A reminder that the UK Government continues to support the Iran war through the use of our bases to launch strikes. A serious attempt to end Rip off Britain would mean withdrawing our support for Trump's war immediately.

Government plans to expand immigration detention at Campsfield – reversing a reform programme that closed four centres and set up successful ‘community-based’ alternatives to detention – have been roundly rejected by the public in a Planning Inspectorate consultation.

The largest cause of deforestation is, and has been, the expansion of farmland. But the production of which products, in particular, has been driving this in recent decades? A recent study, published in Nature Food by Chandrakant Singh and Martin Persson, answered this question.

Protecting forests = protecting public health. Every tree felled raises your risk of respiratory disease, stress, and chronic illness. So yes, reforestation is healthcare. 💚 Retweet if you believe forests save lives.
