It has been an alarmingly long time since I've been able to watch a game! Early games are the best.

What an amazing human this guy is. His students must be so lucky to learn from him! https://t.co/e31P4X7yf0

For someone who was apparently cancelled, John Boyne is bloody everywhere. Why are people holding him up as some great author. This is the guy who wrote the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, then threw a huge tantrum when the Holocaust Memorial Museum said the book should be avoided.

the scariest thing in history happened 66 million years ago when an asteroid hit the most perfect kill shot ever, caused every possible weather disaster, covered the world in darkness for 2 years, and killed every dinosaur larger than a house cat in less than 24 hours

A lawyer who submitted fake AI-hallucinated cases responded to an OSC re sanctions.

The response itself (first pic below) included more erroneous citations and was written in a style that caused the court to suspect he didn't write it.

Now, about a month later, he's at it again!

I have worked so hard to learn so much of the layout of Leeds, and I've been lucky enough to work with the most amazing cane travel instructor who has enabled me to do so. Starting from scratch in a new place is stressing me out, even though I know it will be great in the end.

taylor must seem like isaac newton to the kelce brothers

[Connor Scott-Gardner @ConnorScottG]

To clarify I mean anything wrong re my case. He obviously did a lot wrong in other situations.

[Connor Scott-Gardner @ConnorScottG]

Such a crap situation all round. He took on a case of mine when I was a young student. It never went anywhere, and I didn't have the knowledge at the time to push for better. I wouldn't feel confident saying he did anything wrong, but I'm also not surprised by this.

@MartinSigsworth Thanks. I'm currently looking for somewhere to live, and then I will move down there. I agree that sorting mobility is stressful, I really hope I'll be able to get it quickly.

[Connor Scott-Gardner @ConnorScottG]

I don't post on here very often anymore, however, I've just accepted a job that will mean moving all the way from Leeds to Sussex! If anyone has advice about literally anything, I would love to hear it!

I've literally seen this in a train travel FB group, where if Chatgpt can't tell them which train to get they are stuck, when all of the information they need exists online. They just need to read it and think.

[Connor Scott-Gardner @ConnorScottG]

I sadly think this is true. Obviously there are still lots of wonderful, engaging young people. However I am seeing many students who lack even basic problem-solving skills because they aren't curious or motivated enough to try.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

“They have no curiosity about the world. Just eat, sleep, phone.” I’m hearing this from every teacher I know. The scariest thing about AI is that it’s creating a generation of students with no interests, no hobbies, who are totally dependent on tech. What’s to be done?

[Connor Scott-Gardner @ConnorScottG]

Not just young people though. So many seem to be comfortable with the idea that they can outsource everything to Chatgpt or similar, and are refusing to use their own brain.

[Connor Scott-Gardner @ConnorScottG]

I just finished reading The Lie that Binds Them by @thetowerofstars
An amazing ending to another great series by this author, even if the ending made me tear up a bit. Available as audio books for those who prefer them, though I think you should read the Legacy Trilogy first.
