This will no doubt lead to a claim in Glasgow's promotional literature that the University 'is at the forefront of embedding generative AI into every level of our curriculum'.
Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.

A screenshot of a New York Post health article. The headline reads: “How long diseases like measles and the flu linger in the air — after an infected person has left the room.” It is written by McKenzie Beard and published February 14, 2026, at 2:09 p.m. ET, with a note showing 17 comments. Below the headline is a photo of a man in profile sitting on a couch, wearing a red shirt with a face mask pulled down under his chin. He is exhaling forcefully, and a visible cloud of fine droplets or aerosol particles is shown spreading through the air in front of him, illustrating airborne transmission. A caption beneath the image states that tiny droplets and aerosols can hang in the air and build up indoors even after an infected person leaves.

Don't want to get my hopes up, but this sounds genuinely exciting. The seventh century is one of the most important era's in Western Eurasian history, witnessing the rise of Islam, the end of Ancient Persia, and the dramatic reduction of Eastern Rome losing its status as Mediterranean Empire.
I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.
Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

Number of young Australians with dementia to soar More than a million Australians are projected to develop dementia in the next four decades, with the number of early onset cases expected to soar, advocates say. AAP reports data released on Thursday reveals people living with young onset dementia, when the syndrome is diagnosed before the age of 65, will rise by 40% over the next 30 years. Dementia Australia chief executive, Tanya Buchanan, said action is needed immediately, which can start by significant intervention. There is a critical demand for a national program to promote brain health throughout our lives as well as a pressing need to provide quality care and support services for people of all ages living with dementia, their families and carers. Dementia is the nation’s leading cause of death, accounting for 9.4% of all deaths in 2024. More than 17,000 people died from dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, during that period, with 62% of dementia-related deaths being women, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The ABS believes the increase of dementia deaths was likely due to people living longer, which raises the chances of developing dementia towards the end of their lives. Data released by Dementia Australia shows that about 446,000 people are living with dementia, a figure projected to surpass one million by 2065. Buchanan said essential investment is needed from the federal government in implementing the 10-year National Dementia Action Plan, which was unveiled in 2024.

I've just uploaded a version of my Academic Writing Tracker spreadsheet, which I've been using in various forms for the last decade. It has trackers for a single session, a whole book, a month's writing, and reading something that is long. Feel free to copy if you think it might help you. #AcWri
Yawning and deep breathing each have different effects on the movement of fluids in the brain, and each of us may have a distinct yawning "signature"
Neurodiversity research has reshaped how we think about autism and ADHD, revealing that a “normal” brain doesn’t exist – and that unusual brains also come with unique strengths.

Doctors tested a common drug on COVID. The results are stunning A cheap, inhaled drug may revolutionize treatment for COVID-19 and other deadly lung infections. Date: September 28, 2025 Source: King's College London Summary: Inhaled heparin significantly lowers the risk of death and ventilation in COVID-19 patients while also showing potential against other respiratory infections. With its unique triple-action benefits, it could serve as a powerful and accessible treatment worldwide.

Some jobs are more satisfying than others, and they're not necessarily the ones with a high income or a lot of prestige
AI doesn't know 'no' - and that's a huge problem for medical bots. It means they can’t distinguish images labelled as showing a disease from images labelled as not showing the disease.
This is the most chilling article I've read, well, ever. Within 90 days, for example (or sooner) Social Security recipients will likely see delays receiving their monthly checks. It will affect over 70 million Americans, more than half of which need this to survive. That's just part of it:
