Wow… and if staff are supposed to use AI to mark, then surely students will *definitely* (possibly lazily) use AI to write

Do not plan to do deep thinking work on teaching days > 1.5 hrs. You get at most 3 -4 hrs of peak brain time a day & teaching will take most of them in your 1st year. Focus on editing, prep, admin, and other less taxing things.

Job offer for medievalists at the University of Warsaw: historia.uw.edu.pl/en/job-offer....

My dear friend & colleague Grzegorz Pac is looking for a postdoc to join his project Recognising Saints in the High Middle Ages.

I used to read the Times for a bit of balance against the Guardian. I can no longer take it.

These are the last four front pages. We’re being gaslit into a crisis (again!)

King and Conqueror review – James Norton and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau fight the Battle of Hastings This tale of 1066 forces viewers to wade through exposition-heavy episodes, and its pace does drag. But Coster-Waldau does play William the Conqueror with a phenomenal 70s dad tache

Review here. I found for first episode to be ok. Huge missed opportunity really…

But will any colleagues be able to get over @lvhicks.bsky.social observation that they gave the moustache to the person least likely to have one? Absolute rookie error

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

The Times today. Usually I can just ignore this, but I made the mistake of reading the comments under each one of these stories, and my goodness, we really are ruined.

Officially fractured scaphoid bone. Could have been worse!

Can you guess which idiot came off their bike last night?

Head is absolutely fine with no signs of concussion, but my favourite shirt is ruined, and I suspect my hand is broken. X-ray to follow later today. 😭
