We are going to be needing certifications of sanity when we tell future generations about this.

Cooper accepted at least £215,000 of pro-Isreali BLOOD-SOAKED BRIBES

In exchange she:

✅️ voted against ceasefires
✅️ flew spy flights over Gaza
✅️ target sharing with Isreal
✅️ sent bullets
✅️ sent tank shells
✅️ sent fighter parts
✅️ sent drones
✅️ trained Israeli soldiers on 🇬🇧 soil

Her pretence is over

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men

Tiffany was on the whole quite a truthful person, but it seemed to her that there were times when things didn’t divide easily into ‘true’ and ‘false’, but instead could be ‘things that people needed to know at the moment’ and ‘things that they didn’t need to know at the moment’.

Israelis withdraw and return home. Gazans return to the rubble which was once their home where many Gazan bodies still lie trapped beneath the decoration, awaiting burial.

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

Where to start?
• personal identity
• who 'owns' the AI version? You leave the school, do they retain your AI version that they can continue to use?
• protection: will the school be able to protect against hacking? Worst case teachers discover themselves used in deep fake prn!
Just my top 3 ick!

Divide opinion?! Sorry John but I think all of us can see the dangers to our privacy, personal identity, workload and the future of education in this. I don't think there will be much division apart from about which aspect of this is the most dangerous! What security measures would be in place?

It’s Banned Books Week. I think the Diary of Anne Frank is one of the most profound and important books of our time. Also one of the most banned books in America. Not because of the distressing content. She wrote a few paragraphs about crushes on girls and starting her periods.
