This is why we should all be angry about the use of asylum hotels. Private firms raking in millions while people forced to live in these hotels endure appalling conditions.

People seeking safety and UK taxpayers are losing out and the only winners are millionaire companies.
Asylum hotel provider makes £180m profit despite claims of inedible food and rationed loo paper
Asylum seekers and charities tell BBC of "terrible" conditions as accommodation provider makes millions.

This little experiment proves nicely how ai just tries to get you an answer asap, one that fits the most likely or commonly accepted "truth", does a "quick google" and then lies about having done research.
Which is... rather human.

Cannot believe we have to entertain the ridiculous and wrong idea that taking paracetamol "causes autism."

But even if it did:
- Women should be allowed to take pain relief during pregnancy
- More autistic people is not a bad thing

Misogyny and ableism all around.

Today's @britishfuture.bsky.social report presents new evidence about public attitudes to asylum - which are not irredeemably hostile.

It shows a growing public frustration at failure on boats + a strong public interest in more control, which can unlock broad public support for more compassion too

*So* much research starts with difference-based questions and researchers' categories/assumptions - helping to feed or legitimise communication myths and stereotypes. But the evidence about what people say/do in actual non-lab non-post-hoc accounts of interaction shows something else entirely #EMCA

Which newspapers get talked about in UK parliament debates you (didn't) ask?

Well, these ones.

The Times is consistently top, Financial Times also quite consistently relevant. The Daily Mail decreasingly so.

That #r4today interview. It's been a while since I heard anything that overtly hostile. If it weren't for the tragic content, would be prime material for anyone teaching implicational vs on-record impoliteness in political discourse

This is why I always say a quarter to a third of HE History *posts* will go (it will likely be more than that now): you might not get sacked, but you definitely won't be replaced, so the profession will shrink radically. Baked in now. (2/2) www.timeshighereducation.com/news/uk-univ...
