🚨 I have another record to share - carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged a record high of 428.2 ppm in March 2025
10 years ago March averaged about 401.7 ppm

I love discovering personal blogs and websites.
No algorithm.
No competing anything.
Just a person, putting out what they want.
It's beautiful.

In the course, you'll learn how to:
- understand and prioritise your readers
- name and organise your documentation
- make documentation clear and easy to read
- review and test documentation
Let me know if you have any questions, and please share far and wide!

In an era when AI can generate essays that mimic human writing with startling fluency, the question "What are we actually assessing?" has never felt more urgent.
I’ve just published a new blog post reflecting on a recent conversation with a colleague who argues that remote assessment is no longer trustworthy. Their proposed solution? Reintroduce in-person elements—even brief ones—to every assessment.
But what if the real challenge isn't technological, but pedagogical?
What if the answer lies not in surveillance, but in reimagining the way we define and design assessment?
✍️ Read the full post here:

💬 I'd love to hear what others think:
Can assessment evolve to meet the age of AI without falling back on control?
Are there models out there that meaningfully integrate AI while maintaining academic integrity?

Less sea ice compared to average could be found around almost the entire #Arctic sea ice edge during March 2025, which contributed to its record low total ice extent.

@chebra I agree that it raises flags. I was responding to the question in the immediate comment I was responding to, as I looked into the very same thing the other day and came to a different conclusion than they.
If the maps are different from upstream, it becomes more than a moral problem, it becomes a concrete influence operation.
