the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

"Journal articles are the lifeblood of living scholarship."

...errr, I beg to differ.

The lifeblood of living scholarship is scholars or the scholarly community or...humans.

I can't believe I fell for it!

n.b. there is a *real* Matt Wolf that writes for the Guardian, but someone has been catfishing him for over a decade, seemingly just to waste academics' time

The readers' editor on… an unusual identity thief using a fake Guardian persona Chris Elliott: Open door: One academic spent 20 hours answering the faker's questions and another wrote and sent six essays before calling a halt

This guy has been catfishing academics for over a decade lmao TO WHAT END

Impostor wastes scholars' time—for what purpose? (opinion) If a (fake) person named Matt Wolf contacts you with questions about your scholarship, beware. Lee Brewer Jones describes apparently falling victim to a long-running fraud targeting academics.

Wish I'd seen this article before my own time was wasted by "Matt Wolf"

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I am so excited to be going back to Scotland next week 💙

That’s what I thought too, but then I started overthinking 😂

"mediations on..." or "mediations into..."?

Very productive writing day yesterday with @jochargrave.bsky.social 👩🏼‍💻 conversely, today has been a write off, writing-wise 🫠🤷🏼‍♀️

A poster of a manifesto about reading, by Loki, with 6 points on reading "bad" books, short books, comics, audioooks, webcomics and fanfic, plus not finishing bad books cos life is too short.
