Worth showing this to anyone who quote-tweets evil/stupid people to show they're evil/stupid. They're effectively paying them a salary. Also! Don't get trapped into assuming what they say is supposed to make sense. It's serious as in dangerous; it's not serious as in sincere.

So Chicago Public Schools has a guide for teachers urging them to use AI, apparently drafted with some help from AI for Education. Is there magic thinking a-plenty in it? Reader, don't you already know? Let's count the ways...

🧵1/ Thought I'd zoom in on the data from the Southport riots, especially given the recent arrest of a man in Pakistan - which has prompted some commentators & news outlets to use it as an opportunity to target people of colour once again. Let's look at what happened

I know I'm late to the discourse, but I wrote a blog post explaining what the problems are with El*n M*sk's advice about the 'Iliad' for those who are genuinely interested. #Iliad #Homer #ClassicsTwitter talesoftimesforgotten.com/2024/08/28/wha…

My thoughts on this have not changed since I wrote this piece for The Walrus last March. The point of writing assignments is not to produce more writing in the world, it is to teach students how to think and how to express themselves. thewalrus.ca/chatgpt-writin…

For the first time since its foundation in 1872, the current issue of the journal _Romania_ has issued a statement about plagiarism in its pages. Please re-Tweet and share widely. #philology #medievalFrench #AngloNorman #plagiarism #CarlaRossi

It fascinates me that pretty much every time someone discusses the dominant undergraduate model in the UK, they assume there’s nascent demand for shorter degrees. Every actual student I speak to that’s had to cope with a setback, decided to undertake voluntary or paid work etc

Blair is speaking, as he increasingly does, irresponsibly & without understanding. Grenfell was not the result of 'mistakes', but fraud by manufacturers, complicity by testing bodies, dereliction of safety duty by architects & construction companies, and inaction by politicians.
