What happens to your brain when you use ChatGPT to write your essay? MIT watched students’ brain activity to find out. The results are worrying.
Research shows that ChatGPT is changing your brain
People worry that students are increasingly using generative AI in their work. It saves time, but what is it doing to their brains?

The aptly named Dr Bull has been made Reform Party Chairman.

Having been acquainted with his political journey over the last 6 years, here's my cast iron guarantee - it will end very badly indeed.

Post Office Horizon IT scandal payouts hit £1bn.

Postmasters pressured into accepting less.

No contribution from PO execs, Fujitsu, lawyers, accountants and others who benefitted from wrongful prosecutions.

Despite evidence no one charged for perverting justice. Will they ever be?

A total of £1.039bn has been awarded to just over 7,300 sub-postmasters, the latest figures show.

Mindblowing.
This is the US today!
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The forbidden lick (it’s the energizer brand, fwiw)
I bought some CR2032 batteries and noticed that they now have a pattern of coloured dots on one side. Google revealed that the dots are ink, dissolve in saliva, and provide a visual warning that someone has swallowed a battery. So I licked one. My tongue was blue for two days.

From a professional perspective, it is interesting that at no point is there a question about the restraint practices of Mitie. The way in which deportation flights work involves deliberately scaring people, putting them automatically in flight, fight or freeze.

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic.

“Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities.

If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc
Head injuries like Sean's are very serious. Go immediately to the ER even if the victim is alert and talking. Brain swelling has a short delay and bleeds can start later. You can be fine one minute and dead within an hour.
Two LA photojournalists have been shot with tear gas canisters by DHS HSI, including @acatwithnews.bsky.social who was directly targeted by HSI and struck in the head. Sean is en route to the ER with obvious facial injuries. He was conscious and talking when he left the scene.

Trump's authoritarian, xenophobic anti-migrant agenda is going to rip large parts of America apart.
It isn't migrants who are a threat to the US, it's ICE and Trump.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.

And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.

This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.
Trump called Musk "a big-time drug addict" in a phone call shortly after their public feud. (WaPo)

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz.

The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.
