I wonder what causes the difference in the number of pieces between the Tuxedo Cat (1710 pieces) and the Orange Cat (1755 pieces)... Let’s make that today’s puzzle @LEGO_Group

... Günün birinde yol kenarlarında toprak anamızın koyu yeşil saçlarını da görmeyeceksiniz. Bizim için değil ama, çocuklar, sizin için kötü olacak. Biz kuşları ve yeşillikleri çok gördük. Sizin için kötü olacak. Benden hikâyesi.

Wait, why does Oxford get one? We want a comma.

In today's @MonocleMag newsletter I make the case for absorbing 'kolay gelsin', the most useful of Turkish phrases, into English.
Happy Monday, and kolay gelsin!

I’ve only just found this out:

No est englando, no est germano, no est espano, no est franzo, no est keine known lingua aber du under stande! Wat happen so?

The correction I’d like to make after sending the final draft, which I’ve read and checked ten times:

[NYTimes Communications @NYTimesPR]

@sissenberg @nytimes A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition:
"A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."

After dozens of academic publications and projects criticising native speakerism, some of which were also supported by the British Council, this is the end-of-day report:

Mimic the pros and sound like a native (or at least like you belong in a foreign drama). 🎬 Tag someone who loves lip-syncing as much as you do.

Aylar öncesinden aldığım @AJET_TR uçuşum her ay "operasyonel sebeplerle" bir değişiklik/iptal ile rekora koşuyor. Umarım zamanı gelince de boarding'den sonra "uçmuyoruz, vazgeçtik" demezler.
Hayatı geç planlayınca pahalı, erken planlayınca ''paha"sız kıldıkları için teşekkürler.

Teachers and students are already using GenAI across the globe.

But is education improving?

The new Digital Education Outlook assesses the latest evidence from international data.

What is known about GenAI's impact on learning, creativity and teaching?

After years of learning/teaching vocabulary lists, conjunctions, sentence types and paragraph structures in academic writing, do we really have the right to complain when AI perfectly replicates this genre?

[Erkan K. @erkannk]

@tweekHQ oh no 😯😲😩

"Through auto‐ethnographic inquiry, three academic developers together ask, “How are we and our practices true to who we are, to our colleagues and university, and to the purposes of higher education?”"

Lately, I've been trying to explore the Substack app from a distance. I think it's a format that reshapes and redefines social media, one that is both somewhat familiar and full of surprises. @bluesky was a disappointment for me, whereas @substack seems like a new adventure.
