Asked a friend if she's ever been to the @vagina_museum, she said 'I've never been inside'.

Sometimes you get just as much out of it circling the information kiosk right outside the entrance, mind you 😏

Saying #AI is going to solve the teacher recruitment crisis is as glibly 'technically correct' as saying assisted suicide will solve the NHS / social care crisis.

The Canadian first Nation architect Patrick Stewart successfully defended his #PhD with a thesis with "almost no capital letters or punctuation", as a protest against the hegemony of English and its prescriptions.

Except now on UBC it has caps and all: https://open.library.ubc.ca/media/stream/pdf/24/1.0167274/1

The problem with #DataScience tutorials using #Python is that you copy the code in, run it, it works, and really you learn nothing.

This is why #R tutorials, instead, have you encounter a different error at every step, that you have to investigate and debug yourself - sometimes having to follow a side-tutorial for a function - thus learning a lot more.

THANKS, INTERNET!

If I had a time machine, I would travel back to the 80s and make sure Microsoft bundles #Balatro instead of Solitaire into Windows, thus sabotaging corporate productivity and preventing the ascent of neoliberalism.

I was on a #CaS/#BCS webinar on computing ethics yesterday, shitposting in the chat, as one does, and there's this participant, "AI Friend".

And I'm like "WTF, is this someone stating their position, or is this a bit and they've got a bot in the chat?"

Then I find out it's AL Friend. Imagine having your name being displayed as "AI Friend" in most fonts, in 2025.

Poor lad.

Much has been written on #KeirStarmer's use of the verb 'Mainline' Viz. #AI and 'the fabric of British Society'.

But if you think of the forcible infliction of an expensive and harmful habit, it's actually entirely appropriate.

You gotta wonder how we reached the point where spending more supporting disabled people than financing the military industrial complex came to be cast as a bad thing.
