In case you missed it, Kerry Brown wrote a book that plagiarized Shelley Rigger’s classic book title.
I, along with others who were asked to review Kerry’s manuscript, said verbatim to change the title.
In the most tacky and unprofessional fashion, he stole her title anyway.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

Every New York hip hop figure w the sole exception of 50 cent is so incredibly corny. Christopher walken’s frank white is also his worst role. Possibly ever. Yes, I want all the smoke.

I've tried to theorize this impulse as a "refusal of coevalness." I think anthropologists are often especially bad at dealing with this for reasons that have a lot to do with the way we justify the legitimacy of our methods. But we should take it seriously:

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
Hi Chloe,
This is news to me (and to my editor at Routledge.) I'm shocked to find this out. I assume that this is somehow a pirated edition. Does it include the section on Neurodiversity? Part VIII?

What can a box of old love letters reveal about history, hope, and migration? In this essay, Suvi Rautio reflects on 1950s correspondence between her Chinese grandfather and Finnish grandmother—intimate artefacts that trace a cross-border romance and the idealism of a shared socialist future.

I'd wager one hundred doubloons this guy is an oxbridge midwit. on the contary! we cannot solve the big LLM crisis by making everyone wear a gown and locking them in a room
I have a simple solution to this. Grade students entirely by means of three hour hand-written exams in a big hall with no computers. If they all fail because they never learned to write without AI, sucks to be them
“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

Two games going down to the wire. Streams great

I do hope my friends in the US are paying attention to the Australian election and the clear message it sends: if you manage to throw off the shackles of Trumpism, you too may be rewarded with the abundance of milquetoast centrism.
