The folks who are pushing for ChatGPT to replace teachers and textbooks don’t care that it makes people dumber because that is its purpose. That is what it was designed to do. They want to create a world where the very rich are educated and the rest of us are illiterate.

Two of Elon Musk’s posts today alone show he clearly has a British adviser, how else would he know who Laurence Fox is and use language like “Please call your member of Parliament….?” There is either an individual or small team working on this - I bet we find out and I bet we

For the past 150 years we've had compulsory education and near-universal literacy, and this has proven profoundly destabilizing to the powers that be. They now want to turn back to the clock to an illiterate world, like that of the early Victorian era.

De-funding libraries, removing the teaching of books from public schools, the culling of the humanities from universities—all are driven by a belief that working-class people don’t deserve access to art and literature, that our sole purpose is to keep the economy running.

Definitely time for a break from this platform. Even some of the nicest people’s tweets are veering off into unbalanced/obsessed/in denial/plain weird or worse. I get why - staring into an abyss without contamination is not possible. Feels like we all need some fresh air.

We're valiantly trying to continue taking the piss as usual, but Trump, Vance, Musk etc - it's just not funny, is it? America has truly shat the bed.

Just imagine having to apologize to the very people who are excluding you because of your disability.

In 2025, we hate all of them

Tripping over their clown shoes in a particularly dangerous way this time🤡

Not many cities left with an unmistakably unique identity. Never change, Liverpool ❤️ Quite an experience seeing Red or Dead Royal Court Liverpool too. Lots of Scottish people in town for it. Thanks for the drinks, guys. Sorry I couldn't keep up 😉🙏🏼 😁

I think it's perfectly fine to think that artists should be able to make political protests, politicians should have better things to do than pontificate on where they do so *and* that Kneecap are a bunch of embarrassing, thoughtlessly unnuanced twats

Ooof, that BSB Supersport pile-up looks nasty

Very sad to read this. Felt that this was a bad one as it happened. Horrible for everyone in BSB.

I have always thought that Zarco looks like he's in his sixties. After that Suzuka 8 hours, he's unsurprisingly advanced to his nineties. (He also reminds me of Leonard Rossiter, but that's properly niche.)

Is Balaton Hungarian for dull as ditchwater?

Unsafe, boring, ugly, sparsely attended and people still unable to get into the car parks at 10am - what a jewel Balaton is turning out to be 🙄#HungarianGP

I rescind that 'boring' after that Moto2 last lap! 😲 Amazing Alonso

Canlyniad terfynol is-etholiad Caerffili: 🏵️ Lindsay Whittle - Plaid Cymru – 15,961 - 47.4% (+19.0) ➡️ Llŷr Powell - Reform UK – 12,113 - 36.0% (+34.2) 🌹 Richard Tunnicliffe - Llafur Cymru – 3,713 - 11.0% (-34.9) 🌳 Gareth Potter - Y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig - 690 - 2.0% (-15.3)

“Don’t take people for granted, and that’s what Keir Starmer has done.” The 2026 Senedd elections are “all to play for now”, says the new Plaid Cymru MS for Caerphilly Lindsay Whittle.

I haven't been happy about anything in politics for a long time. Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 winning decisively in Caerphilly when Reform arrogantly thought they had it is pure 😁😁😁 though. Classy acceptance speech from Lindsay Whittle too. There's hope for us in Wales today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
