‘Biology is destiny actually’ getting enshrined in law is not a victory for feminism it’s a victory for the global backlash against it

Imagine if we didn't Remember Them every year. We'd probably end up going to war again, or some crazy thing.

Hey @UKLabour, when VCs keep telling you that 'staff cost' is a problem, would you mind getting them to articulate *which staff*? And whether all these Grade 7-8s are more of a hinder than a help? And what universities' mission is in the first place?
Oh yes, continuing the discovery journey, the 2 new FTEs in Estates and Facilities will be up to £130K each with market supplements. At this point, I expect to hear no more concern on behalf of Senior Management about financial pressures affecting pay budgets @qm_ucu

🧵Oxford & Cambridge UPs are going to sell YOUR research to Microsoft etc. to train large-scale language AIs. In the past I would have gotten all worked up about sharing this info with scholars & explaining what they can do. I don't care. Let me share why. tinyurl.com/2p8u4msk
Such a relief to hear academics talking about chat GPT and its use by students with the clear-eyed cynicism it deserves. Way too many HE staff are fawning and credulous about gen AI.
Here's the latest ep of my @iHeartRadio/@coolzonemedia show Better Offline. I sat down with the academics from the University of Glasgow who co-authored a paper that proves that ChatGPT isn't hallucinating - it's BSing.

Creepy divorced old men shouting at young women for bringing up real feminist issues and demanding they focus on the fake non-issues that drive their existence.

We lost a generation of LGBT people because of government ideology around HIV/aids.
We lost a generation of LGBT people because of government ideology and section 28.
There are reasons we will never accept losing another generation of LGBT people due to government ideology.

The Greens have won 4 seats.
Reform have also won 4 seats.
Yet one party has had 90% more mainstream media coverage than the other.
Ask yourself why.

Terrible situation at @GoldsmithsUoL. Please also look around & amplify the situation at all institutions where our colleagues are being affected, disciplines are being gutted, and sector and the future of HE being irreparably damaged. Solidarity and unity matter and are needed.
