Marching and calling for a ceasefire and peace so that more innocent children don’t get killed is not really the definition of a hate march.

I agree with the Prime Minister. It is entirely unacceptable to desecrate Armistice Day with a hate march through London. If it goes ahead there is an obvious risk of serious public disorder, violence and damage as well as giving offence to millions of decent British people. 1/2

Sure we can stop students from using AI in a world where AI tools are embedded on their desktops.

Will genAI put paid to contract cheating? No, says @DrLancaster - rather, it's likely that commercial cheating services will sell human-authored assignments to learners at a premium. Michael Draper @SwanseaUni notes that learners are still being blackmailed & extorted. #ecaie2013

But maybe it's the personal qualities that lead us to librarianship and being good at it such as being reflective, attentive to detail, wanting to help others (I've picked a random few I recognise in the profession) also make us prone to self doubt? – at Warrington, England

When you realise you could have saved over £1k by buying a print copy of a book for every student rather than paying for ebooks to be available (we do have print copies in the library too anyway). But this isn't just about cost. Many students rely on the ease of access... – at Ormskirk, England

What is an ethical use of a tool that may have been produced in an unethical way? This is not a criticism of universities. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place, not being able to ignore or ban generative AI in an effective way. 8/

Crosspool's 2023 well dressing entitled "Holly and Hagg" is created from an image by New York artist Lee Keller. It looks fantastic. Well done to all involved. 👏 👏 👏 #Sheffield #Crosspool #welldressing – at Sheffield, England

Libraries are definitely not neutral. Sarah Brain has just reminded us how religion is classed by DDC which is used in a lot of our libraries 😮 #BLA23

"A pupil who had been excluded was recently reported to the police by his school for climbing over a barbed-wire fence to take home “the slops” from the waste food bins." Modern Britain more Dickensian than Dickens. theguardian.com/society/2023…
