@luiciolfi I dunno, I feel at least ChatGPT would know what ethnography was, and not complain you had too few participants and it's all anecdotal and what about generalisability... Although I guess if you specifically prompt it to review this paper like you are reviewer 2... well ...

@nicolasnova Worst book ever

The Media Equation

@GyllKing The pub?

An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with nuclear warheads launched from either Moscow or central Asia would take an estimated 20 minutes to strike London. This is where alerts would be useful, allowing people time to get to safety. Where would that safe place be then?

@okoromajoel The Uk and US are not evacuating their citizens just their diplomats. Citizens told to stay indoors. I just listened to an interview with a British Official who basically said they have no intention of doing anything for their citizens!

While govts of western countries like #France, #US and #UK are speedily evacuating their nationals from the conflict-ridden #Sudan, Nigeria is telling hers to be patient and remain indoors. That's how a nation that seeks loyalty and patriotism of its citizens treat them.

This is a superb and excoriating summary of the Lineker scandal.

Finally some honesty about the disgusting treatment Jeremy Corbyn received from figures at the BBC. And it’s coming from…Alistair Campbell.

It shouldn't fall to Marcus Rashford and Gary Lineker to highlight basic issues of social justice. That's supposed to be the job of the Labour Party.

I would like to buy this wonderful human being a pint. 🔥 #BBCQT

@garylin thank you for being brave enough to speak out against these inhumane policies

A sensible and much cheaper UK #asylum policy would be to let people apply online from abroad. But then the #Tories would not be able to use the issue to distract from rising #childpoverty #CostOfLivingCrisis and their mismanagement of the economy. #ToriesOut

.@AyoCaesar to a Tory MP: "you said in order to get the best talent we've got to lift the cap on bankers bonuses, pays got to be competitive. But when it comes to the NHS or education, you’re effectively saying to all these public sector workers, get poorer & be happy about it"

🚨 PLEASE RT 🚨 Defend the #RightToStrike 👊 On Monday, the government will try to ram through its anti-strike law. An attack on the very frontline workers they once called “heroes”. We’ll be protesting outside Parliament from 6PM. Join us: wesayenough.co.uk/events/

BREAKING 🚨 | The first reading of the bill to restrict the right to strike is TODAY. If passed, this will mean health, education and other key workers will be forced to work - and SACKED if they don't comply. MPs must reject this cynical legislation.
