In 2016, Zack Polanski hosted and spoke at fundraisers for the Red Cross. In 2017, Nigel Farage gave speeches for the AFD, who the German authorities have designated an extremist organisation, and which uses Nazi slogans. Which do you think UK Press is attacking right now?

🚨 University professors have been saying AI is completely destroying learning and that we'll soon have an AI-powered, semi-illiterate workforce. Here's a glimpse into the educational apocalypse: "Sarah, a freshman at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, said she first used ChatGPT to cheat during the spring semester of her final year of high school. (...) After getting acquainted with the chatbot, Sarah used it for all her classes: Indigenous studies, law, English, and a “hippie farming class” called Green Industries. “My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.” Sarah continued to use AI when she started college this past fall. Why wouldn’t she? Rarely did she sit in class and not see other students’ laptops open to ChatGPT. Toward the end of the semester, she began to think she might be dependent on the website. She already considered herself addicted to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Reddit, where she writes under the username maybeimnotsmart. “I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.” - "By November, Williams estimated that at least half of his students were using AI to write their papers. Attempts at accountability were pointless. Williams had no faith in AI detectors, and the professor teaching the class instructed him not to fail individual papers, even the clearly AI-smoothed ones. “Every time I brought it up with the professor, I got the sense he was underestimating the power of ChatGPT, and the departmental stance was, ‘Well, it’s a slippery slope, and we can’t really prove they’re using AI,’” Williams said. “I was told to grade based on what the essay would’ve gotten if it were a ‘true attempt at a paper.’ So I was grading people on their ability to use ChatGPT.” - AI in education is a serious topic, and many schools and universities are blindly jumping into the "AI-first" wave without considering short and long-term consequences. It would be great to hear more from teachers and educators to understand potential solutions. This might be a great opportunity for rethinking the education system and how students are assessed. - 👉 Link to the full article below. 👉 To learn more about AI's legal and ethical challenges, join my newsletter's 94,700+ subscribers (link below).

"we need rent controls to end this disgusting profiteering!" meanwhile london's gross rental yields are around 5% with net yields at 3% or lower funny that

In 2025, New Zealand faced a comparable situation to our own. Equal pay claims were rampaging through the courts on similarly spurious "equal value" grounds, and taxpayers and companies were on the hook for payouts worth billions of dollars. What did they do? 🧵

A friend of mine had a portfolio of 11 rental properties, a mixture of 2,3 bedroom flats and houses, he only actually owned one of them outright and the rest are mortgages. When labour set out plans for renters rights he immediately told his tenants he was NOT renewing their tenancies and has decided to sell the lot. He did this because he has come very close to “going under” with troublesome tenants trashing his properties and not paying rent, one tenant he told me was not paying rent for over a year while he fought to have her removed at huge cost, he told me he’s operating a Ponzi scheme, using money from one property to pay mortgage on another and it’s now blatantly unsustainable. He wasn’t rich, worked 7 days a week all hours all for nothing.
