This is at the moment the only thing I have on Academia.edu (something very dated I wrote back in the early 00s) but this can f-ck right off.

At a uni open day looking at maths for eldest and flinching every time I hear "the data are." But I suppose maths is probably where they might actually talk about one "datum".

At the same time, schools are being encouraged by the #edtech brigade to start using AI to generate reports and letters to parents? I'd consider your responses carefully before complaining, education leaders and edtech floggers. tes.com/magazine/news/…

On my home after a couple of days off for a family funeral. Just caught myself thinking "I should just check in with my work emails". I need to get back to doing emails on my terms. It annoys the "by close of play" types, but that's their problem, not mine.

100 miles per hour, a young person almost dead and unlikely to ever fully recover. Driver has a little bleat in court about how he's nearly a parent, and he's free of all repercussions in a few years. I hope his business folds and his wife leaves him. yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/crime/pow…

In this week's no sh-t Sherlock news, it turns out housing developers and building contractors care about nothing but profit. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Just commented on a local Facebook thread in favour of a footbridge which is going to cost "tAxpaYeRS mONeY!" I fully expect outrage to follow.
