The fuel protests in Ireland are a Trojan Horse that aim to bring fascism to Ireland. We are witnessing the birth of an Irish version MAGA. The more you look, the more obvious it is that many of the key spokesmen (and they are all men) are dangerous anti-immigrant far right agitators.Wake up.

Sharing a talk that was designed to engage students with thinking about how they use #GenAI open.substack.com/pub/aiedusim... #HigherEd #EdTech #AIEdu
A presentation slide with a dark brown header reads, “Is It Complicated?!?!?: 5 Questions For Thinking About Your Relationship with GenAI,” followed by “aiedusimplified.substack.com” and the tagline “AI + Education = Simplified.” Below the title, three close-up portraits of different cats are arranged side by side, each with distinct fur patterns and lighting. A small resource link appears at the bottom: https://bit.ly/SSU-AI-Questions
