Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

Interesantísimo análisis de @sebasfaber.bsky.social : los legados de la dictadura en España

"Given that the UK needs more graduates with languages qualifications, the task of universities is not to accelerate the decline of language learning but to find ways to bolster their student intakes"

New piece in THE on #Nottingham and #Leicester proposals to close MLs.

@ucflangs.bsky.social
The latest threat to UK modern languages is yet another faux pas
Nottingham and Leicester are taking a swing at language departments. But those proposing closures have taken their eye off the ball, say four linguists

La présidence algérienne a annoncé qu’elle «accept[ait]» de libérer l’écrivain franco-algérien Boualem Sansal, incarcéré depuis novembre 2024.

Il avait été condamné à cinq ans de prison ferme en mars 2025 pour «atteinte à l’unité nationale», une peine confirmée en appel en juillet.

Seit 14.10.24 gibts die Gedenktafel für Adolf #Lewissohn und das Seebad #Mariendorf seit 1 Jahr. Mehr als 1 Jahrzehnt hat es gedauert bis mein Engagement endlich Ergolg hatte.
Kombibad Mariendorf soll saniert werden. Ich werde alles tun, damit es danach Helene Lewissohn Bad heißen wird.😊

Tomorrow at #uniinnsbruck!
Great programme, with speakers from Ghent, Brussels, Oslo, Dublin, Mannheim and Innsbruck who reflect on memory and translation in literature on the Holocaust, the Algerian War of Independence, the Chilean dictatorship, the Bosnian War and on the translator as a guardian of memory.

Teachers are generally not assigning homework because they care about an 8th grader's thoughts on the Pelopenisian war. They want you to think about the material. Using AI to write your homework is like calling an uber in a bike riding class: You get from point a to b but missed the point entirely.
