If you're someone for whom the writing process is just a time-suck that can be offloaded to the shitty algorithm slop heap, you're in the wrong fucking business.
"AI will let us turn PhDs from 4 year degrees into 6 month degrees!"
Literally shitting on the part that makes it intellectual development. It requires things like *reading* for yourself and *writing* for yourself. Those aren't chores, they're part of skills acquisition and critical development.

This is what happens when snake oil peddling political appointees are installed in leadership positions at HHS.
There was never any credible evidence that leucovorin could treat autism spectrum disorder, and now the FDA has been forced to admit it.
Only morons think VAR works.

“Spurs, big club?”
“Oh yeah, big club, huge in fact.”
“Cool. Succesful?”
“What? Oh, no, haha no, never haha”
When the mRNA Covid vaccine came out, those of us involved in teaching and science communication sat round thinking how to explain it simply to the general public. Then @hotvickkrishna did it brilliantly on Tiktok, and that was that, job done. A masterclass.
The whole world will pay the price
Trump’s EPA can’t simply erase climate change — and we’ll all pay the price

Thinking back to the good old days when every single iphone update didn’t render your phone completely useless.
No-one ever called Cumming a genius. Everyone always knew he was a crank apart from Johnson, but that’s due to Johnson himself being a moron.
I’m coming to Barnsley next month! Really looking forward to a lovely evening of history chat — affordable tickets available here 🎫

Well that’s me locked out. No pay for the foreseeable future, all because I refuse to reschedule lost teaching, for which I have already lost pay as part of the strike. Please donate to support @sheffielducu.bsky.social members like me at www.gofundme.com/f/heubvb-sup...
Ludicrous from Sheffield management. If they want lost teaching rescheduled, they should return deducted strike pay – simple. Solidarity with Mark and all other @sheffielducu.bsky.social members dealing with this BS – and do fling them some pennies if you can afford to spare anything. #UKHE #UCU
Call it what it is. Door to door concentration camp round ups. You know when the full record comes to light there *will* be horrifying degrees of intentional genocide of non-whites in ICE facilities due if nothing else to over crowding. It is happening.

fellow linguistics pals, in case you missed it, this is where we’re at right now at Essex
if you are a student or alumni, please please please make your concerns known to the university
It’s hilarious that the one single thing that Johnson achieved as PM was to remove any and all people of any talent or ability from the Tories whilst replacing them with laughably inept morons like this, thus ensuring their complete irrelevance for at least a generation if not forever.
Reason number 4,080 why all Trump voters are braindead morons.
Tories are such belleneds that even when they’re nowhere near any kind of power they still go out of their way to be damaging bellends who break everything.

My full statement on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good.
I’m terrified just watching this from afar. Stay safe.
We’re all caught in the gears of history. When the Brexit vote happened I said to a mate that I thought that was the start of the book, & it wouldn’t make good reading. But I didn’t think it would be anything like the last 10 years. If history tells us anything we’ve got another 10 years of this too
Because the US is no longer a functioning nation. The Klan is in charge so this the bullshit that’s going to happen for the next few years.
The world capitulates.
150 countries agree plan to stop global companies shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions, but US companies will be exempt from 15% global minimum tax.
They make profit we fund the cost.
The race to the bottom will accelerate.
Right. My students working two part time jobs and/or having an hour and a half commute to uni because they have to live at home due to the cost of student accommodation lack drive and vigour. Sure thing, Peter. The UK Govt still haven't a clue about the realities of universities today.

In 2026, the Physiological Society celebrates its 150th anniversary: a landmark moment to celebrate physiologists past and present, the discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the body, and the community driving physiology forward.
