- Hahaha! Exactly. Signed a North American who is not from the US.
- On values, not changing the assessment.
- I wrote about the widespread adoption of AI in education, and why there needs to be more resistance to it open.substack.com/pub/irinadum...
- As a ‘world-leading industry’ I can’t help but feel like we’ve really missed the chance to sell ourselves as masters of the universe.
- lucille, “it’s a single footnote, michael, how long could it take to edit, 10 years?”

- Ouch. I'm glad that challenge isn't mine today.
- A gorgeous day for a lunchtime walk by the river. Butterflies, birdsong, and cow parsley, amid the heavy scent of brambles and hawthorn blossom.
- Why does confusion between S and F in transmission make me think of the perpetual confusion of long s and f? #EarlyModern ramblings on a hot day.

- can't think how that might go wrong. (also, they must find the old records so confufing...)

- At @cemskcl.bsky.social waiting to hear @drsurekhadavies.bsky.social speak about her book, Humans: A Monstrous History. Best description on her slide: 'author, speaker, historian, monster consultant'. Excellent!!!

- My pleasure!

- An excellent conclusion about the need to deal with real problems rather than imagined ones.
- An excellent and fun talk, which looked at the monster as category breaking, and encouraged us to think of what modern narratives around monstrosity might tell us. Very timely. You should get the book!

- hmmm. I quite like that!
- Category error is an excellent description.
- And it’s not the only journal getting this inquiry. Higher Ed, funding agencies, libraries, scholarly journals- even Wikipedia for heaven’s sake. Targeting the entire infrastructure of knowledge making and sharing.
- Nope, it is not!
- A note to younger scholars: when kindly mentors retire and ask if you'd like to have most of the contents of their office shelves ... be judicious. Do not think that they are doing you a massive favour. Don't just let them bring you 20 boxes of the complete works of Lenin. Thank me later.

- Truth. And imagine those prisons and violence 15 to 20 years from now after the way the government has been doubling down on ensuring growth of poverty.

- Also, a summary... like the accurate abstract already provided by the author, making the AI especially pointless? (That question on Adobe makes me roll my eyes every time.)

- So pretty.
- really interesting #HistMed post.
- Very tidy chest.
- 🤔

- haha! I've seen worse, but I'm on holiday so my threshold is low today.
- Finally got a hold of my new book. Loneliness in World History. Learn about loneliness but also how we do comparative emotions research.
- Congratulations! Looking forward to reading it.
- Ha! Do be sure to scroll to the end of the thread...
