The 2 things my children are doing just now to drive round the bend: 1. speaking incessantly while steadfastly refusing to get to the point 2. Removing and hiding the hand towel from the bathroom I mean.

This just finished. It is magnificent - in turns inspiring, depressing, infuriating and heart-breaking, but always compelling. Thank you for the read @juliaioffe.bsky.social

Loved this. So much to worry about, so many ways to work to put it right, or at least to make better. Beautifully written: I laughed, I cried, I wished my 15 yo would let me read to him again. To borrow from the testosterone boy: @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social "would you just write more, wee man!"

Just a thought, BBC Scotland - but perhaps continually and relentlessly telling Scottish folk that they and the country in which they live are shite isn't a particularly effective marketing strategy. Hope this helps. dailybusinessgroup.co.uk/2023/07/bbc-...

Heartened to see that my university is ending its contract with Turnitin before the next academic year, because Turnitin is going to use student submissions to train AI models. Institutions can and should resist this stuff!

I have come to the conclusion that I need to give up work, parenting and generally social activities to read all the books I got for my birthday so far. Antimacassar City by Guy McCrone is my current read and it's great. I want to read it with the @natlibscot.bsky.social online maps open

The lesson from the Belgium-USA match and from the Hungarian election is that you need to defeat populists by such a convincing margin that claiming the contest was rigged becomes implausible.
