Bluesky has 4 kinds of users

Just a reminder that there is no good data to support these uses in K12, we are just testing it live all on kids who won’t ever be these ages again and can’t get them back if we fuck it up.

This is vital. Writing helps us think. So many students are saying they turn to LLMs because they don’t know what to say, and need to hear that not knowing is normal as one starts to write.

If you needed a win as badly as I have lately, mark this one down: CSS-Tricks is returning as an independent publication. Spread the word. wil.to/posts/taking...

It’s so tiring the way every penny of #ActiveTravel funding has to be fought for, and then fought to be retained. Every penny spent on walking and cycling is returned fivefold. Every penny spent on roads will struggle to break even. @libdemcyclewalkwheel.org.uk @greenlibdems.org.uk

How did the grid react as Storm Austen and Storm Boelo passed through over the weekend? I pulled this together over the weekend. It's part of a new video format that I'm exploring to better explain what's going on within the energy system and the wider context surrounding it (such as the weather).

Want to know more about our report? Join us TOMORROW for the launch of Automated Discrimination: Unpacking the Digital Hostile Environment, written by @fabiochiusi.bsky.social. 🗓️ Wed 28 October 🕠️ 5:30–7:30pm 📍 King's College London 🎫 Final tickets Reserve your spot ⬇️

NEW 📰 ORG's report reveals the sweeping use of AI across immigration and UK borders. Driving it is the idea that migration can be 'solved' by technology. But the biases and discrimination of anti-immigration policies are born again in code. This is the automated hostile environment. Read more ⤵️

“the minister tried to shovel all of the blame onto Capita, ignoring the significant failure of governance by the Cabinet Office that allowed Capita to wreak havoc.”

What’s that you say? Liz has a new book out which even the Telegraph is saying is even more unhinged than the last one? Wonderful, I’ll post this then.

the UK has the loosest gambling laws in Europe and let me tell you: this is one of the things that is killing every. thing. else. property greed is the other. but gambling is destroying high streets, areas, social cohesion; if you don't live in an area infested with slot arcades you don't get it

'Universities are central to the UK’s innovation ambitions, yet the way government measures and supports innovation often overlooks some of the fastest-growing areas of university-generated enterprise.'

I have a very funny audience that I can never make completely happy, but such is life for queer Christian clergy, I suppose - especially when you write about a mostly secular topic. Anyway, I wrote about what being queer and cycling have in common, inspired by the guy who called me a bitch earlier

"Why is UK govt considering a major U-turn on electric vehicle policy that, if followed through, could stall take-up of EVs, close off a route to lower living costs, & dent the UK’s ability to meet its carbon targets?" 94% of drivers are happy with their EV www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The @realmsunknown.bsky.social subgenre deep dive this week is how Games Become Books, or Movies Become Games, or how the two talk to each other. From Goldeneye to Dungeon Crawler Carl.

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

this is honestly invigorating—maybe because the US far right has been on the rise most of my life, maybe because it suggests why the far right being unpopular is not enough. mostly: because it gives us something we can do

I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

Pour one out for Fry's Electronics too

It doesnt make a lot of difference whether we stick with GMT or BST but let's stop the faffing moving the clocks forward and back every few months. It's a pain.

In 2021, archaeologists announced the discovery of the 3000 year old Egyptian city called "The Dazzling Aten" near Luxor. I want to call your attention to a brick wall under the red arrow. It's 'serpentine' & a single brick wide, separating a housing complex from the road. Why the odd shape?

Everyone is told to wear their poppy with Pride.

I expect they'd get some poor video editor to blank out the right-hand side whilst preserving the poppy. Maybe these would make life even harder for them...
