I did a thing this term where I told my students they were allowed to use ChatGPT. The catch was, they had to tell me about it in a reflection when they handed in their paper. This is a thread about how it all went.

Disappointed by @ucu passing StopTheWar motion! It accepts 🇺🇦 subjugation to 🇷🇺 imperialism & war crimes. It is shocking 4 an academic union to not understand this & it is highly anti-intellectual. @DrJoGrady how can UCU say it defends rights when it sanctions this?! @ellieknott

A scandalous state of the nation address by the Hungarian Prime Minister.

Tory MPs are set to hand Rishi Sunak the keys to No 10 without him saying a single word about how he’d govern.
Little wonder he’s dodging scrutiny: he’s so dire that just a few weeks ago he was trounced by Liz Truss. 🥬
No mandate. No one voted for this.

Emmanuel Macron: "Russian power fed on the resentment & humiliation born during the dislocation of the Soviet empire"
- ‘resentment’ & ‘humiliation’ from the end of your chauvinistic oppression of your neighbours is not legitimate & should NOT be acknowledged or indulged …

If Kwasi Kwarteng finds himself with some free time over the weekend, he could go along to the 'Battle of Ideas' (@acadofideas) at Church House. The event I'm chairing (Are young people really getting shafted?) is one of hundreds on offer. More info here: battleofideas.org.uk/session…

If they are actually believing the official fire aboard Moskva storyline, which didn't even mention Ukraine or any attack at all on the ship.. and yet feel the need to punish Ukraine for that mysterious fire then... 🤯 they're too far gone already.
