What's been the best reporting and analysis on Tasmanian Labor's astonishing decision not to even try to form government? Could they seriously not get the numbers if they tried?

LLMs cannot “summarize” because they cannot understand anything

There is a discursive turn that seems to be happening wherein student struggles are framed directly on instructor pedagogy. This move absolves administrators from the decisions they have made (modality, teaching load, admission practices, etc).

Had the best week at #ASEH24 in Denver, talking all things nuclear colonialism, meeting colleagues, making new friends and (to top it off) receiving the American Society for Environmental History's Rachel Carson Prize for best dissertation!

Israel has:
- killed Palestinians for walking in the wrong direction
- killed Palestinians waving white flags
- killed paramedics going to save a dying little Palestinian girl
But it is only now, when Europeans are killed, that an independent investigation is warranted. Right.

Each heinous crime the Israeli army is committing against exhausted and traumatised civilians in Gaza is part and parcel of a genocidal campaign.

Looking forward to Karim A. A. Khan KC's action. This is the greatest moment of truth in the ICC history.

this is what i think of when you talk about using ai to write assignments or abstracts or to make silly pictures of jesus holding his own leg. every time you use it i think less of you. shame on you.

Love this business card and pint cover/note - from an Australian pub in Hong Kong

Great map - unexpected addition to my US trip and Columbus visit is going to be the eclipse!

I hoped my 'anatomy of a genocide' report to the United Nations Human Rights Council | #HRC55 would be a wake-up call for States who are aiding/abetting Israel's genocide in Gaza. Instead,despite several UNGA res +one UNSC res ordering a ceasefire, & CIJ_ICJ provisional measures, this genocide seems unstoppable.

I feel this stat hard today:

'British universities have on average 13 students per lecturer. In Canada that’s 23:1, and in Australia, 34:1.' (from Tortoise)

Solidarity to all academics wherever you may be, as we enter into (another) period of even higher workloads ✊

If you work in a university, and you can, please just keep pointing out the things that don't work and aren't sustainable. Don't let nonsense become normalised.
