My feeling is that social networks can't be stupid enough to destroy all their own value by misleading users all the time, but I'm not sure what the % is where the elastic breaks. Are you ok with 5%? 50%? 90%?

AI-generated slop is filling up the hashtags Facebook users are using to organize relief efforts for Hurricane Helene. Why is this happening? Because Meta do not give a shit anymore. www.garbageday.email/p/what-feels...

One week until the feelgood album of the autumn.

We are taking our kids out of school for two weeks in October to go away. My wife just graduated as a midwife, has two months off before starting work and it's been a long slog for 4 years. We're going somewhere very different and I have no idea, on balance, how that will pan out. Hopefully well.

This is really interesting by @soumayakeynes.bsky.social on the impact of termtime holidays. Teachers should rightly pelt me with olives in that I really wasn’t expecting there to be a negative effect on longterm learning in poorer *and* richer schools.

How bad are term-time holidays really?

Parents are increasingly relaxed about them, despite research suggesting that every absence does count
