Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.
He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

I'm shocked, shocked!

🇱🇺 Luxemburger Wort reports that RTL is consulting with the EBU, Rocklab, songwriters, Eva Marija herself, and French music rights organization SACEM over potential copyright issues.

I mean whisper it if you want, but if the P&R buses are free, aren't we effectively building a free bus network like Manchester has - except Oxford would now be the biggest and best in the entire UK - out of absolutely nowhere?
Could be an absolute gamechanger.

Oxford’s Park & Ride buses could be free in November and December as part of the congestion charge scheme. Oxfordshire County Council says the proceeds from the congestion charge will fund free P&R bus travel “to enhance the attractiveness of the city centre whilst managing limited car parking”.

What i find amazing is that a few years ago - it was "there's congestion everywhere and it's all the LTN's fault" and post congestion charge announcement, it's errr, nah there's no traffic at all, everything's fine.
Oxford traffic is a disaster, i'm all for giving things a go

When Cllr Henwood states that Thames Street and Hollow Way "do not suffer from congestion", we have to ask - What warped view of the city does he have ?
These are two of the most consistent congestion problems in #Oxford.
And this is more disinformation from the IOA.

#ictf25 - I've been trying to understand why I haven't connected to this panel talk by MS, but the truth is that it feels so unrelated to the business end of the University - this is a talk for the centre, not for the departments or colleges.

I've been saying my phrase "the business end of mental health" too often recently.
Truly; I love this time of year but it's easy to forget how fucking tough it is for so many people.
Look out for each other.

As a test, I created a completly fake scenario which it would take a human a few minutes to realise that this was a scam, ChatGPT fell for it hook line and sinker. It even then doubled down and asked me if I wanted more information about this research (which didn't exist) and the background to it!
Interested in a lot of this stuff about people using ChatGPT as a therapy replacement. One of it's weaknesses is that it very much accepts what is said at face value, and doesn't push or question what you've said. Not ideal from a therapeutic pov unless you just want validation...
