Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

can all journos covering the fire just stop overemphasising the role of bamboo scaffolding, when other factors e.g. negligence of regulations, accusation of bid rigging and flammable mesh should be more broadly mentioned?

100% bet universities are going to pass the additional costs to international students but applicants will definitely be more tempted to look elsewhere, e.g. canada, australia.
With Rachel Reeves reportedly set to apply a new tax on tuition fees paid by overseas students, most Britons support such a move at the previously mooted level of 6%
Support: 57%
Oppose: 18%

By popular demand, here is my debut map, made with blood, sweat and tears, when I should have been looking for my missing father, apparently. From the latest Map Men episode - about Twin Towns...
By all means have a play but feel free not to point out the mistakes.

In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.

Beyond disappointed to find Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show's subs on @crunchyroll.com are blatantly and openly ChatGPT.
This is not acceptable. How can we be expected to pay for a service that clearly doesn't care about the quality of its products?

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

tragic to consider the (literally) brain rot generation is just a year older than me, though probably a lot of my coursemates used some sort of artificial intelligence to finish their essays anyway when we were about to graduate in 2024.
Two and a half years later, students at large state schools, the Ivies, liberal-arts schools in New England, universities abroad, professional schools, and community colleges are relying on AI to ease their way through every facet of their education.

new full-time job starting on monday but unrelated to journalism, as expected.
2:1 degree in journalism studies, work experience and being part of the editorial committee at student newspaper in uni mean absolutely nothing.
