If there's one groups in society who NEED to stop using AI to make resources, slides, posters, it's teachers. You're literally showing your students that you used AI to do your own homework. You look like a moron. It's shameful. Do not do this.

Israel's horrific, in your face conduct, combined with the suppression of antizionist criticism by pro-Israel political and social elites, has created a kind of cognitive permission structure to deny that Jews face any oppression whatsoever.

I'm sure someone's already mentioned it but by far the best Macklemore controversy to me is when he was going to perform Same Love at the NRL grand final and Peter Dutton said that for political balance an anti-same sex marriage song should be played as well.

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

It just seems to me that a question like "do you think we might have gone in a bit hard on that one?" Is the sort of thing a mature media industry would be able to talk sensibly about, and that it's really interesting to see which people and organisations are and aren't able to do so.
