@TheCybermatron
I have a live case at the moment. I will share what I can next time I see you. There may be alternative disciplinary breaches that are easier to prove than use of LLM.

A moment of enlightenment
#Pennan #Buchan #Aberdeenshire #Coast
A coastal village. Houses on the left nestle are the base of a cliff. A thin strip of land is allocated to a road, drying greens, and a walkway. The sea with light foam comes in from the right. At the back, a distant headland in green, and closer one in shade. A beam of sunlight catches a male figure, walking away from the camera.

Don’t increase the income requirement for family visas to £38,700
petition.parliament.uk/petitio
Currently, the financial requirements to bring your spouse to the UK is £18,600 per year and now the Government wants to more than double it. Most people in the UK don’t make that per year. We believe this policy punishes those who fall in love with someone with a different nationality.

Why you and your institutions should leave X/Twitter

Some time ago I wrote a post asking why universities are still using X, the social media platform that used to be called Twitter. In the same vein I thought I would repost the article below, which I saw this morning.

Good write up of teaching sensory criminology, and students taking ownership of their learning here by Jason Warr (and a great remedy to the 'us' problem of lecturer cynicism:

sensorycriminology.com/2024/04

"The students were taking ownership of their own subjective learning, despite the scaffolding of conceptual learning built into the module."
