Interested whether any Educators have been trying out using Claude Fable 5. I had a go, but could not get it to help me with a biology simulation for my students (I teach High School Biology and Pyschology). Be interested iin what you think... #EduSky newsletter.pursuelearning.net/p/i-can-buil...

Used AI to analyse 5 years of school results data this afternoon. Normally that's a few $1k to a SaaS provider, plus days of staff time on analysis. Did it in a 2-hour stretch & got genuinely useful insights. AI is quietly removing cost barriers for schools. #EdTech #AIinEducation #GoogleGemini

Three rabbit holes, one post. I've been automating my workflow with n8n, building NCEA revision sites with Claude Code, and testing AI-generated cinematic videos with Gemini Ultra. Here's what's working, what's not, and what's next. www.pursuelearning.net/what-ive-bee...

What I've Been Building

I've fallen down three different rabbit holes recently, and I'm not sure I want to climb out of any of them. As a teacher experimenting with AI, I hear about new tools constantly. But it's rare to se...

You don't hide something for over eight months if you're not afraid of the consequences or knowingly engaging in something that would damage trust. It's deliberate, sustained deception.

Of course, now would be a REALLY good time to remind the US military based on Greenland about only obeying legal orders. Capturing Greenland would be absolutely illegal.

Seriously- someone needs to stop this insanity! www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The White House on Tuesday refused to rule out the use of military force to fulfill President Trump’s long-held goal to “get” Greenland for the United States. In a statement issued in response to questions from Reuters, the White House said: “The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander-in-chief’s disposal.”

So the US Gov says it was not an act of war but a “police enforcement operation”. Not a war. But Stephen Miller pretty much confirms it was: “ my point is that in this raging gunfire battle that took place, the point that I'm making to you is no Americans were killed.” youtu.be/eUATziI8hwE?...

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.

now there's an obit I can get behind www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.
