I gave my first lecture in my first-year undergraduate course tonight

I talked at some length about AI, giving my rationale for my categorical no-AI policy, encouraging them to think about what its (non)use implies for their own educational experience, and closing with Joseph Fasano's poem

Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on your stunning victory.

Your campaign took on the rich and powerful, stood up for the dignity of all marginalised communities, and gave people hope!

Real change is coming. I look forward to working with you to bring about a fairer, kinder world.

This will never happen because of the rapacious greed of absolutely everyone involved, but imagine if they just combined the Europa/Conference things into one big "UEFA" Cup and made it a straight two-legged, unseeded knock-out. I would watch 100 of those matches before I watched a CL group game.

Nothing to see here, just a lawyer, "full of claret", arguing against his client then suddenly reverse ferreting in court after being told he was making the wrong argument ... #LegalHistory #Scotland

We've seen many Farage false dawns before. After these results, this time it really could be different. To stop it, both Labour and the Tories will have to do something important but which they're not doing- disagree with him.

We've never seen anything quite like this.
