I always wonder are these people against roads, maybe there should be no schools, no parks?

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

oh nooo rest and recuperate and feel better soon!

An important reminder that when you see the term "anti-woke" it is often a euphemism for "contains material from Stormfront"

"Shame, that once-great regulator of social norms and executive behavior, has all but disappeared from public life. In its place is denial, defiance, and the noxious vice signaling of the investor class."

This insight from @caseynewton.bsky.social is very good. It gets at something I've been trying to work out - the death of hypocrisy in tech, making shamelessness the most effective strategy.

Government’s last chance to keep control of digital Digital sovereignty isn’t optional anymore. We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data

We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data.

There are those of us who have been saying that the best preparation for "prompt engineering" is likely to learn how to read, write, and think and, well, here you go.

This part from the #Covid19 inquiry speaks directly to something myself and Linsey McGoey wrote about in 2020 (published as journal article in 2024 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....): the construction of *impossibility to act* as the key feature of post-liberalism (a thread 🧵👇)

I remember when people used to say the US was in danger of falling into authoritarianism and violent repression. The good old days.

I never had nor gained any German except that I now use the term Zukunft to denote the uncanny experience of the uncanny that you somehow already knew was going to happen

Not to worry Dan, once education has become how to assist AI in this subject then we will all welcome our new brobot overlords.

Walk into the classroom.
Give students pens & papers (no, they won't have pens).
Ask them to work individually on a reflection task for 10 min.
Count until they get bored and start fidgeting.
If you're lucky, you reach 5 min.
Sad but true.
Education became so transactional.

I think unfortunately we are all out of the 'habit' but at least some of us used to do this more often in the past and maybe can access it again. But I worry about the ones who believe answers and ideas only exist following a prompt, because believing it is so makes it true.

I think giving them pen and paper and asking them to think for 10 minutes is a pretty good approach to be honest. Did you have a conversation afterwards about how it felt, whether it was strange for them, did ideas start to flow after a while?

Title slide - academic integrity in a postplagiarism era

Is anyone even on Bluesky? Worth blooting Sarah's keynote for the Deakin Teaching & Learning Conference?

Not everyone is unhappy about the Government's descent into anti-refugee politics

Great news Ian, so sorry you have had to go through all this but thank you for standing up.

the radical unaccountability is sadly sometimes part of the 'appeal'

do they just mean they will use a computer?

Yes my impression is this probably reflects the usual way of the academic hunger games across the disciplines. Signed current PhD candidate 😱

Stephen really does have the best take on this. It’s not clear that the BBC Board or indeed the rest of the News team really understood the message of the previous reviews, which were about getting detail right. Instead they wanted to know what was ‘biased’ or not like they were blotting out stains.

@abbis.bsky.social and @leohavemann.bsky.social looks like a shining light in the see of AI darkness...👇

I've been so impressed by the collective work of CUNY in this space.

I so appreciate this attention to what we’ve been doing with ed tech at CUNY and the notion that the higher ed ecosystem can benefit from it. Too many folks to name have been involved in those projects over the years, and it builds upon work and commitments at CUNY that goes back generations.

Yes! I've seen some great stuff from them at OE conferences
