The protests in Iran are the largest protests since the #WomanLifeFreedom uprising of 2022.

The nationwide protests started in Tehran on 28 December, and quickly spread to other cities across the country.

Cambridge college to target elite private schools for student recruitment Exclusive: Trinity Hall’s new policy described as a ‘slap in the face’ for state-educated students

"The evidence is clear: when talented students who have faced greater barriers gain access to elite universities, they flourish precisely because opportunity, not ability, was the binding constraint."

Been on about race & discrimination for a while now. Or rather, attempting to theorise it in my work. You know what breaks the heart the most — it’s the lived experience accounts. This one below is from a Black woman lawyer in France & what she had to endure as psychological damage due to racism.

The r/teachers subreddit is full of stories about lists of teachers who criticized Charlie Kirk (many listings without evidence) and harassment campaigns to get them fired. Free speech and open debate my ass. It’s the same as it always was—another way to destroy education

Bottom-line (as I see it): Reliable science never goes as fast as our tech gadgets. And it’s okay.

- Findings on AI that do not take learning contexts into account are fundamentally flawed: no tools has effects on it own; none exists and works in and from the ether, outside of the practices that surround it and of the methods that are used to measure it.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn't a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

having thought about this for three days, my current status is:

what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.
