Hi,
Many on this platform, are disturbed that to see any official gov communications, they have to go back onto the #CessPit of X.
Could you please ask the media department to include @bsky.app and the growing Labour presence on here to give us representation and a voice.

Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals

How surprising and unexpected. Absolute bunch of third-rate educationally-challenged inept chancers.
The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

We all know this is true. Anyone opened a book yet on when Netanyahu will explain why he had to renege and it has nothing to do with him facing charges for corruption? If so, put me down for one week, now that Orangina's Nobel aspirations have gone south so he's lost interest.

@susiedent.com Hi there! I just read a newspaper article which contained the expression "It was a bold-faced lie." I've always thought it should be "bald-faced lie". Is this just another egg-corn? Thanks, Jim.

Imagine how comfortable you must feel today if you are an American holidaying abroad, when you see what the psycho your fellow citizens (who don't own passports) have voted in has done now, to keep the Epstein files secret, and himself out of court.
