Welcome to Glasgow’s four corners: making a ‘problem’ place.
Susan Batchelor considers the way in which certain urban spaces - and those who frequent them - come to be constructed as problematic.

I haven’t lived in Providence for almost three years now. It’s my home and with it comes all the typical, jumbled love/hate feelings. That being said, I’m so excited about Morales. I think he could transform the city in ways we haven’t seen before, and I’d be thrilled for my community back there.

Providence mayor race poll shows Morales ahead by 10 points
The poll was conducted by a group affiliated with Morales ally and former mayor Jorge Elorza.

The loss of search structure is devastating for knowledge retrieval. I teach basic lit searching and it's always felt like a really core transferable skill for students to know boolean operators and "exact phrase searching" and now google, microsoft etc have just killed it to force us to use slopAI.

When MacLean meets wi’s freens in Springburn A’ the roses and geans will turn tae bloom And a black boy frae yont Nyanga Dings the fell gallows o’ the burghers doon —There’s a direct reference to Mandela in Hamish Henderson’s “The Freedom Come-All-Ye”: the only place “yont Nyanga” is Robben Island
The Freedom Come-All-Ye
Hamish Henderson

Roch the wind in the clear day’s dawin
Blaws the cloods heelster-gowdie ow’r the bay,
But there’s mair nor a roch wind blawin
Through the great glen o’ the warld the day.
It’s a thocht that will gar oor rottans
– A’ they rogues that gang gallus, fresh and gay –
Tak the road, and seek ither loanins
For their ill ploys, tae sport and play

Nae mair will the bonnie callants
Mairch tae war when oor braggarts crousely craw,
Nor wee weans frae pit-heid and clachan
Mourn the ships sailin’ doon the Broomielaw.
Broken faimlies in lands we’ve herriet,
Will curse Scotland the Brave nae mair, nae mair;
Black and white, ane til ither mairriet,
Mak the vile barracks o’ their maisters bare.

So come all ye at hame wi’ Freedom,
Never heed whit the hoodies croak for doom.
In your hoose a’ the bairns o’ Adam
Can find breid, barley-bree and painted room.
When MacLean meets wi’s freens in Springburn
A’ the roses and geans will turn tae bloom,
And a black boy frae yont Nyanga
Dings the fell gallows o’ the burghers doon.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Ideal conditions to see peak of Lyrid meteor shower in UK www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...
The image shows two tall, menacing Triffid plants standing in a garden in front of a traditional two-storey stone house.
The Triffids have thick, woody bases that transition into long, pale yellowish-green stalks. These stalks curve upwards, ending in large, fleshy, orange-red flower heads that resemble ragged, open funnels. The plant on the right is significantly taller than the one on the left, reaching up towards the first-floor balcony. In the background, the house features large white-framed windows with light-coloured shutters on the ground floor. Lush green trees and foliage surround the scene, adding to the overgrown and slightly eerie atmosphere.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

A faithful, slightly slavish, yet still abstracted digital recreation of The Clash’s London Calling album cover. Featuring a guy lit by a spotlight on a stage in a very wide stance and bent over with his head down, holding an electric guitar like an axe by the neck just an instant before he smashes it into the floor. Small white type at the top reads ‘Maybe it’ll’, then down the left side in pink and the bottom in green larger block lettering reads ‘happen today’.
