Whether LLMs can (or cannot) write well, better or worse than students, is irrelevant. The purpose of writing an essay is not the essay. The essay is how you pursue the goal of learning how to write, learning being the purpose. If you want to learn how to write you must write.

Cannot stop thinking of this case. The horror of it has been rattling around my brain, not just what her husband did to her, but how so many men were complicit in the abuse. How are we not in the streets in uproar, why aren’t more men talking about this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd9d…

My view is that if you choose to use the moments after a spate of anti-immigrant riots and racist pogroms to crackdown on migrants and asylum-seekers - then you are fuelling the fire that the far-right is burning.

I am in complete agreement with @JonAshworth
Politicians who have fanned the flames of anti migrant hate, racism, Islamophobia should definitely be held to account.
Nigel Farage, Braverman, Patel, Sunak, too many Tories too name
and this lot too 👇🏾

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

CASE ADJOURNED. The encampment stays put!
We’re here outside the Royal Courts of Justice to support our courageous students against their own university who have served a possession order against the encampment. Shame on you @QMUL - All power to the students! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

One of the most profoundly beautiful acts of solidarity I've seen: the indigenous guardians of the land that the @mcgillu occupies have given the students the right to setup their encampments on the land in fighting for a Palestine free from occupation and genocide❤️🔥

The 7 aid workers killed by an Israeli strike in Gaza, which included three Britons, were hit by a Hermes 450 drone strike manufactured by Elbit Systems.
The Hermes 450 is powered by a UK-made R902(W) Wankel engine, produced by Elbit subsidiary UAV Engines Limited in the UK.

going mad seeing #ceasefirenow everywhere and especially again since yesterday. ceasefire was too little too late in October. it is April now. we need sanctions, arms embargoes, settlements dismantled, right to return, UNRWA refunded, and billions more to a sovereign Palestine

ALT A white hand holds a book with a predominantly blue and yellow cover. A large photograph centred on the cover shows an elderly woman and man (both white) in bed, under a yellow coverlet. The man appears to be sleeping. The woman is awake and looks worried. The photo is from the Royal Court production of Caryl Churchill’s Love and Information (2012); actors Susan Engel and Paul Jesson; director James Macdonald.

What did James Macavoy literally say about the difference between state and private schools and the failure of government when it comes to exposing children to the arts in order to keep children on the assembly line.
Nearly half of UK award nominees in last decade were privately educated theguardian.com/culture/2024…
