Was it at least worth the evaporation of your day?
With boils. And invisible biting insects.
Journals and presses etc need to normalise reporting academics for misconduct to their universities. In Australia, there are always Deputy Vice Chancellors-Research plus Uni Research Offices plus integrity units. Every uni and college worldwide must have somewhere or someone to send a notification.
Oooh! Do you have a link or another source for this?
Well. This would be hard to improve. The rage is bubbling off it.
I actually heard the response ‘that was more of a point than a question’ this week in a mtg.

Let’s hope so? No sympathy here for either but it sounds like a marvellous opportunity for someone to return for their hat.

It’s a fascinating thread about moral panic of that era. These days, parents of Internet or gaming addicted teens would probably LOVE to see them reading a novel, in bed or out.
Keeping in mind that reading at night in 1908 is mostly still by gas light or candle light, although electricity is on the way in in Australia. So yes, reading probably did induce eye strain issues, no matter who it was.
There’s a published article, pretty recent, which makes the wage theft point. I think it’s Troy Heffernan’s. I have it in my workplace stash if you want.
You should see the nonsense Gen AI guidelines Curtin put out for HDR students. Amongst other things, the shoddy drafting explicitly *permits* students doing a Gen AI topic to falsify data, plagiarise and breach IP.
Exams + statutory interpretation not really a thing but the final assessment over the next month is going to sort the studious from the not.
If you make it to WA,time it for the monthly destash market www.perthhillsevents.com/hills-fabric...
I’ve got 180 enrolled in tri 1 and the in person lecture is now getting about 15-20, 6 weeks into the 10. Tute attendance is better and the week after the lecture topic but most of them haven’t watched it and some just won’t read anything. Not even assessment instructions!
😭🤦🏻♀️
Vic, ACT and QLD have one. The problem is that they are easily overruled or excluded by other legislation. QLD excluded its Act from changes to the bail laws as applied to CHILDREN! For anyone in WA www.wa4hra.com.au
And I firmly fended off the idea to bleach my WA blackbutt floors, which are glorious shades of honey and gold, to a darkened colour! Most bizarre.
I just had floorboards sanded and repolished and the company proudly showed me pics of genuine jarrah floors, beautiful in the before pic, now bleached to light grey and “much better”. I laughed. They were serious.
The mind boggles at how much print space (let alone $$$) went to promoting the MFP and breathless analyses of its impact on Australia and, conversely, those who thought it was just another example of the imminent Japanese economic invasion of Australia and so spent more print space fear-mongering.
The Epstein files name prominent Australians and senior US and UK officials.
I’m calling on the Australian Government to order an independent review for survivors, for accountability, and for our national security.
No one is above the law. Full statement 👇
Neither of us will be alive to see genuine Shinkansen type high speed rail here is my guess. It must be time to mention the Multifunction Polis again too.
Extreme lawful evil is a pub with dense paragraphs with 1 footnote at the end of each and ~10+ sources sans page now. It’s the height of arrogance from established scholars meaning the sources are impeccably there but it’s a degree’s worth of reading to find the specific source for one point.
And Australia was doing it too.
Every word of this is perfection.
Including me!
Delighted to become FRHistS on my 50th birthday!
Of course they do. Symptomatic of the election displays of $$$ empathy with tradies and ghosting of nurses, educators and carers. Yes, I know, not all men or women in either category.
Not a word apart from the backing track but you know exactly what it’s about. The arts are powerful. No wonder every tinpot dictator hates the arts. Kudos.
I hope I didn’t just do that to you! 🤦🏻♀️
