Cannot overstate my admiration for the levels of pure sass radiating from this model. Clearly hominins peaked way before Homo sapiens

News article 1) UK government to embrace AI! No dire environmental consequences!

News article 2) We now take you to the devastating wildfires in California without any irony whatsoever.

News article 3) Go on then, more on that AI stuff as a little treat.

Somehow I'm finding it hard to disentangle the University's recent fall from the global QS top 100 from the questionable management strategies of its higher ups.

Today I learned that at the time the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield was shut down, we were placed 6th the UK, and 29th in the world.

Literally top ten and they still shut us down.

PhD supervisor for hire. Will keep you on track by sitting in the background sighing while you try to work. Kind of an ass in that he never responds to direct requests for feedback but will jump on you randomly to take him for a walk, but otherwise very agreeable. 10/10 for silent support.

Haha I actually think it is.

Admittedly that's become my general approach to academic discourse though. "Come for the discourse, stay for the memes."

Finally, the validation I've always craved as a "serious academic scientist"!
