Dr Stuart Wallace @echrhawk.bsky.social · 12mo agoHearing a lot of Russell group unis are taking on staggering numbers of Home UG students to offset weaker international recruitment.

The absolute cherry on top is the working class hero defending proletarian AI in this piece works at Microsoft and lectures at Cambridge lol. That said, undercooked fever dreams making their way into academic journals is one of the oldest traditions in Academia, so in many ways this fits right in.

This raises two interesting questions for legal ontology buffs: what is a bill? and more crucially: *where* is it?

The limits of Art 2 Windsor Framework's non-diminution guarantee for post-Brexit NI have yet to be fully tested. An impressive expert report for the NIHRC has just produced a powerful case for it covering a broad range of EU protections as securing environmental rights: nihrc.org/assets/uploa...
