No one is illegal. Actions are illegal. Seeking asylum is NOT illegal.
Asylum seekers are not βillegal immigrantsβ. No matter how normalised this term has become, I will not use it, and I will always point out its ugliness.

Essential reading in AI for leaders in Wales.
The pressure on Welsh leaders to adopt AI is everywhere. But AI isnβt a miracle cure thatβll magically solve all our budget and efficiency woes. Silver bullets rarely work if the culture stays the same.

Pioneering Doctor, Alan L. Hart, who saved millions of lives with revolutionary work diagnosing TB early was outed as trans in an article published in the Spokesman Review #OTD.
Dr Hart later said he is"happier since I made this change than I ever have in my life".
