Ask me about Hotel Del Luna, I want everyone to watch it. :)
I like cats, art, info about early years education and neurodivergence.
And Hotel Del Luna.
If I follow you I don't expect you do it back, don't feel like you have to. :)

My Dad escaped the Nazis in 1939 on the Kindertransport.
He went to night school then University, trained as a physicist. Married my mum, brought up 3 kids, all work in public sector.
Under these proposed rules, he would have been deported.

Lots of Labour MPs asking Mahmood tonight to rule out child detention. She won’t rule it out. That’s because forced removals of families will mean children in detention for periods.
Home Office ruling out deportation of lone minors but the changes will certainly mean more detention of children.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

The jewellery bit immediately reminded me of Nazi concentration camps where they took their possessions off them upon arrived. I know it's not meant like that, but I can't be the only one who defaulted to that image. Such terrible tone deaf policy framing.
