I haven’t taught an undergraduate tutorial for 6 years (I’ve been quite busy). Not convinced that 2 x 2 hour tutorials between 9am and 1pm today is the ideal re-entry. Wish me luck.

A journal: kept my article submission for 3 months and then asked for an extension because their reader was sick. Fine. It happens. Now advising me to withdraw because their reader is not contacting them and they don’t know how long it might take them to find a new reader. Less fine, to be honest.

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

University of Wollongong vice-chancellor John Dewar has been moonlighting for consultants Korda Mentha — despite claiming he was on unpaid leave. Apparently he’s working a 9-day fortnight in his day job! www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/888402...

MLA not as terrible as I was warned; in fact, I quite liked it? Learned a lot; spoke to good people; my session was lively. Pleased, though, not to have been staying in the conference hotel (way too hectic for me!) All together it felt galvanising. Probably won’t do it again! #MLA25
Doing this for a few days. Never been to MLA before. Here goes. #MLA25

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
