Forcing all prospective students to make all their social media profiles public is chilling. This will make it much harder for US universities to recruit - but maybe that’s the point.

It may be good news for other countries’ universities, though.

A useful mental exercise: when people say “AI isn’t going anywhere” or “AI is here to stay,” substitute for “AI” the word “cancer.” A great many things that are here to stay are really bad and should be resisted as energetically as possible

Oh, Dr Beeching.

A tribute to an infamous moment in UK rail history.
