Another Gerry moment: he claimed he cost the uni thousands by smoking next to a sign reading ‘no smoking policy’. When challenged he said he thought they meant there was no policy on smoking. New signs hurriedly appeared.

A Christmas eve reminder that for all the talk of a ceasefire in Gaza, Netanyahu has no intention of leaving the strip to the Palestinians. He insists the IDF is there to stay.
So we stay on the streets in 2025.

Gaza Soup Kitchen: Chef Mahmoud, Dedicated to Serving Palestinian Civilians, Assassinated by Israeli Drone
Gaza Soup Kitchen, which coordinates humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza, has issued a statement regarding the tragic death of Chef Mahmoud. This morning, Chef Mahmoud was assassinated by an Israeli drone as he stepped out of his home to begin his daily routine at Kamal Adwan Hospital. Known for his unwavering commitment to serving Palestinian civilians, Mahmoud played a critical role in ensuring the hospital had the supplies it needed.
The statement emphasized that Mahmoud’s assassination was a deliberate attack on his efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. His work had become a lifeline for many, standing in defiance of the systematic destruction and displacement being carried out.
“This news is devastating. Just yesterday, Mahmoud shared his plans and ongoing efforts to support the community. Today, his absence leaves a void deeply felt by his grieving family and the thousands of families who relied on his support,” Gaza Soup Kitchen officials said.
Mahmoud leaves behind seven children. His youngest is only two weeks old, while his eldest is still hospitalized, recovering from severe injuries sustained in a prior Israeli drone attack. Gaza Soup Kitchen asked, “How do you explain such a loss to a child?”
His absence is a profound loss for his family and the northern Gaza community. Gaza Soup Kitchen stressed the vital importance of Mahmoud’s contributions and highlighted how his tragic death underscores the immense challenges faced by the Palestinian people.
“Despite this sorrow, we remain steadfast. Mahmoud’s memory will continue to symbolize justice and resilience. We condemn this cowardly attack, which targeted not only Mahmoud but also the survival and dignity of the Palestinian people.”
Gaza Soup Kitchen called on the international community to urgently act to protect civilians and prevent further atrocities. Mahmoud’s legacy will endure as a testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people and their unyielding pursuit of justice.

Children soiling themselves, girls menstruating thro their uniforms because they aren’t allowed to go to the toilet. Horrific. Surely this warrants a safeguarding investigation. Sadly we read too many reports about MAT regimes where CEOs are out of control theguardian.com/education/20…

My exclusive for Observer today: For 1st time FOI data from Oxford colleges shows majority of tutorials taught by early career academics struggling to manage on low pay & ‘Deliveroo-style’ contracts. FT profs only taught a third of tutorials last year. theguardian.com/education/20…

I’ve posted before about how you can now get jobs writing exclusive quality content solely for training LLMs, but now you can write maths textbooks solely for LLMs (and also be employed to check LLM generated maths proofs). This is all really moving up a level!

At least for non-experts: “AI-generated poems are now ‘more human than human’… participants are more likely to judge that AI-generated poems are human-authored, compared to actual human-authored poems…. participants rate AI-generated poems more highly than human-written poems”

With COP29 starting in Azerbaijan, fossil fuel companies continue to bring in billions of profits while driving the climate crisis that hits low-income countries hardest.
We wanted to ask if they had any spare change…
