i firmly believe one of the main messages we should be telling our students about this whole thing is that generative ‘AI’ by definition will never have an original idea, and if you use it, neither will you

Another joint honours graduate here (Politics and Modern History, and also did modules in Theology and Philosophy). It's so sad that they are being cut in so many places (we just brought some of ours back ...)

NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution. TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back." MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.” Trump clearly not used to get fact-checked live.

Let's take a very good work of history that happens to have a cool title, option it and then forget the actual history and write the series by pure vibes.

The U.S. joins: Russia North Korea Belarus Sudan Hungary Nicaragua Niger Burundi Eritrea Central African Republic and seven others in voting against the UN resolution for a lasting peace in Ukraine. Shameful. Also embarrassing that the U.S. pressured European sponsors to withdraw it, but failed.

I know we all love a dose of hopium, especially now. But the take, which I see all across here, that the far right was defeated in Germany tonight because 80% of Germans voted for other parties is very misleading and unhelpful. Understanding this really matters. 🧵

Lovely thread worth reading. I remember a panel at NACBS 2022 called “writing, drawing & reading the body in British letters” with Sarah Fox on “archival intimacies.” I still think about one of the questions she posed: “empathy is a tool for historical work, but what does it do to the historian?”

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

I’m glad Labour is supporting these workers, who are at risk of losing 400 jobs. Would be nice if they were also supporting university workers, where 10,000 jobs are at risk. In the first week of February alone 1,000 job cuts were announced. Nothing from Labour at all in response.

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late
