We just have to hope the apocalypse doesn't spoil things before they go down...

I would now invite you all to look at the graphic on the left and the reality of the situation and ask you to join me in laughing your head off.

We're trying 😀

Wait… do Reform think free schools are literally free? As in, no-cost?

There’s a lot to hate about AI. But what if there was a mindful way to use it? Our new free course AI for the People will show you practical ways to work with AI –without giving up judgment, privacy or your humanity

The Guardian has a new course on how to use "AI" 'without giving up judgment, privacy or your humanity'!
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

1. Treat AI output as a first draft AI generates plausible language, not guaranteed accuracy. Always review and edit before using content in teaching. 2. Check unfamiliar facts using trusted sources If something is new to you, verify it. Hallucinations are most likely where subject knowledge is weakest. 3. Watch for confident but vague claims Be cautious of phrases such as “research shows” or “studies suggest” when no specific source is named. 4. Ask the AI to explain its reasoning Follow-up questions often reveal gaps, assumptions, or errors in the original response. 5. Verify names, dates, and references carefully AI frequently invents studies, authors, or documents. Always check citations before sharing them with pupils or colleagues. 6. Cross-check anything used directly with pupils Lesson materials, explanations, and factual content should always be confirmed against reliable curriculum or subject sources. 7. Be cautious with niche or very recent topics AI is less reliable with specialised content, local guidance, or recent changes to curriculum or policy. 8. Model critical AI use to pupils Show pupils that AI is a tool that requires checking. This supports digital literacy and responsible use.

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
