How Do Scholars Take Notes? How do scholars take notes? I like seeing examples of different people’s notetaking, so I asked scholars to show me how they take notes for research.

I made my students a little “book” (just using Google slides) to show them how you all answered my question about how you take notes for research. Just to show the variety.

I love curlews.
Some of my best childhood memories were lying awake, the ocean lapping gently against the shore, listening to the curlews cry out into the humid night.
Now I listen to them in Brisbane.
And I still love them.
But so many curlews being this far south?
It's just not normal

Albanese at the White House: Trump endorses Aukus, signs $8.5bn rare earths deal and calls PM ‘great leader’ President says US has no better friend than Australia but tells ambassador Kevin Rudd “I don’t like you’

Nuts to see the widespread media backpatting of Albanese after he ensures Aus critical minerals will be

- Shipped to a country that'll use them for weapons and AI slop data centres instead of for the energy transition

- Extracted in an env toxic way thanks to the deregulation promised in the deal

Ah yes, the Eureka Stockade, famously opposed to disruptive protests

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

The epic story of Australia and its first peoples — like you've never seen it The story of Australia and its peoples is vast and deep. It's one you should know, but possibly one you've never been told. Well, not like this anyway.

If this is how one of the world's most famous people is treated, we can only begin to imagine* what captive Palestinians have experienced.

* We don't actually need to imagine. There are countless, corroborated accounts from Palestinians and Israelis.

Beating, kicking, and threats of being gassed in cages. Greta Thunberg and several others from the flotilla are now sharing details about their five days in Israeli captivity - and how Swedish Foreign Ministry staff left them without help. Aftonbladet's investigation shows how the Foreign Ministry downplayed the abuse in its communications. Her red suitcase lies in the hall. "Whore Greta" someone has written in large black letters. Around the text: an Israeli flag and an erect penis. The bag was confiscated by the Israeli military from the boat - and returned to her like this. She laughs. - They're like five-year-olds!

- They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me. Greta laughs. - Then they ripped off my frog hat, threw it on the ground, stomped and kicked it, and kind of threw a tantrum. - They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. 'A special place for a special lady', they said. And then they had learned 'Lilla hora' (Little whore) and 'Hora Greta' (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time.

Greta Thunberg was beaten and tortured by the Israelis. They learned how to call her a whore in Swedish, and forced her to wear the Israeli flag.

The Swedish foreign ministry abandoned its citizens in Israel, and downplayed what they went through.

First Nations artists warn against AI 'double colonisation' The rapid development of AI is testing the effectiveness of the Copyright Act, with creative and media industries calling for better protections.

i'm sorry but I can't stop thinking about how funny it is to write a song called "the fate of ophelia" and have it be an upbeat pop song about your quarterback boyfriend. thank god I found a man so I don't have to kill myself

Has the strange deification of Taylor Swift suddenly hit a new album snag?

Good Lord, #PlayDirty is stupid
This is time-honoured genre, the dark comedy heist film.
Why is this one so bad?
I blame CGI and, I don't know, AI. Other things with I in them.

Will also take heist film/TV recommendations - in the Leverage oeuvre if possible.

My Dad has hurt himself and is basically chair-bound for the next - can't even think about it.
Anyway, this is my life for the next - God I can't even think about it.
Anyway - movie and TV show recs!
Easy, simple ones that don't take too much thought. Like Hallmark sans GAF writers and shoot-em-ups

Just the idea that, if this was 1930s Germany, they'd be cooking up a storm with Hitler while admiring his art. This is the reason why Joh "my wife makes good pumpkin scones" Bjelke-Petersen managed to be as bad as he was for so long.

Sorry, paywall. I'll just have to experience through you.

This is the plot of Stealer: Treasure Keeper. A hugely obscure and underrated Korean superhero spoof.

So someone randomly mentioned Grant Denyer this evening and I called him the "Sunrise Weather Gnome" and they had no idea what I was talking about.
I thought this was a whole thing that everyone else would remember/understand.
Did I imagine this?

A bold, lino-cut style protest illustration on a bright yellow background. At the top, black hand-lettered text reads “UNLESS YOU’RE FIRST NATIONS,” above the head of an indignant black koala with yellow accents, staring directly forward and raising its middle finger. Below, more hand-lettered text reads “YOU’RE A DESCENDANT OF IMMIGRANTS. NO GATEKEEPING ON STOLEN LAND.” The word “STOLEN” is in red for emphasis.

Unless you're First Nations, you're a descendant of immigrants. No gatekeeping on stolen land 🖤💛❤️

I like your optimism but many things that cause this kind of surge in extremism also exist here. And we have a government so beholden to vested interests that they have no interest in solving any of these problems. Negative gearing still exists and this is the real reason behind the housing crisis.

The Hallmark film #PolarOpposites is not designed for someone familiar with polar travel

It's not particularly veiled. I guess they figured this shit got Trump elected and they can foster this here as well. I hope to God they fail.

I just watched a super fun (old) show called #HootenandtheLady and, yes, it was a silly as hell Indiana Jones et al show but was so much fun I want more.
There is no more.
Anyone have anything similar to recommend?

As the US collapses into ithe inevitablefascist dictatorship - how are you dealing with it in your daily life?

I'm going to a 60s party. Would these pass as 60s?
I need to alter them because they're too long - is there anything i can do to make them more "60s?

David Stratton, esteemed Australian film critic, dies aged 85 The international cinema expert was beloved for his film reviews, particularly on television with Margaret Pomeranz
