I suppose it was inevitable that poor Moo Deng would eventually be supplanted by a younger model. Such is the vicious, ageist world of baby hippo politics.
🦛 The Berlin Zoo announced the name of its newborn pygmy hippopotamus — a rare mammal native to West Africa: Broetchen, which is German for ‘bread roll’
i am once again begging people to learn to distinguish between what an author says they are doing and what they are actually doing
@Arbeitologist i like when nandos is invoked, a south african fast food chain producing a bastardised version of a food the portuguese bastardised from mozambicans. feels very apropos in a way
@_jrrdy perhaps i am just stupid but why are none of the authors (straw and regular alike) from the universities the report is ostensible from
new levels of strikebreaking at edinburgh: docking pay for the people not participating in the strike for not working extra hard as scab labor on top of their other responsibilities
Internal communications show that staff at Edinburgh University will have their pay withheld if they refuse to cover for colleagues who are boycotting. Staff are being told to supervise additional students and take on extra marking. @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/news/26169138.…
A reminder that ROAPE is looking for two affiliates to join the journal’s Editorial Working Group for a year starting from September 2026. Please apply by 9 June - all details are in the post! roape.net/2026/05/12/roa…
Ask yourself whether you want to be treated by a self-educated doctor. Of course not. Drive over a bridge designed by a self-educated engineer? No thanks. Why not? We intuitively know that a self-educated "doctor" or "engineer" is likely to have massive gaps in their knowledge. +
@politicalmath Another crumbling argument in favor of academia is the pursuit of knowledge. We have access to most knowledge on our phones if we care to look for it, and youth can educate themselves on any topic they are interested in at little or no cost. Colleges give credentials - that’s it.
Exciting new initiative! This university is using AI to power the Rube Goldberg machine that pulls the trigger on the shotgun in its mouth
only prep school kids should leave university knowing how to think, anything else would be inequitable
Lots of academics in the replies angry that all students can now access frontier models instead of just the rich kids.
“I really do feel that it’s allowed me to focus more of my time and energy on what really matters, which is the ideas, the thinking … rather than spending a lot of my time writing sentences from scratch.” The thing is, writing sentences from scratch is also thinking.
“To write her opinion article, Professor Ellis uploaded 40,000 words of her own original materials into a Copilot Large Language Model (LLM),” a spokesperson for the university said.": smh.com.au/national/uni-a…
Ah yes, having Claude code write your paper is exactly like spell check. You've got me.
I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER APOLOGISE FOR MY SEX LIFE ! GAY SEX IS NATURAL, GAY SEX IS GOOD! NOT EVERYBODY DOES IT, BUT.....HA HA!
every round of tv show discourse is a case for writing opaque work and having fewer interlocutors
I also think fees are high. Average staff-student ratio is 17:1. Even without internationals that means each staff member is bringing in £160k in fees. If they can’t afford our modest wages with that + research income, something is going very wrong.
Since I posted this some UCU folks reached out. I should be clear: I think it’s not great that our union and vice-chancellors have the same message of ‘govt should give more money.’ Yes, more money is needed, but not just to be squandered. Funding should be ringfenced for wages.
"Wherever we find class, we tend to find violence, and wherever we find the violence of class, we also tend to find work that normalizes and depoliticizes that violence."
my article's up online now, so that's cool. I'd appreciate if you'd read it, please. thank you. (fair warning, it's kind of a downer.) read.dukeupress.edu/labor/article/…
@snackowska unfortunately they can make the 'writing' 'speak' too
THREAD: The collapse of higher education in the UK is misunderstood by almost everyone involved. We are told it is because of volatile international student markets. The truth is more to do with real estate and capital investment. Here is what is going on: in places like the US
Before UK universities expanded their property portfolios, many international staff & students raised concerns about how international students were too central to the funding model & how untenable it was w/in the hostile environment. We did not have much solidarity with others…
