@nteunion.bsky.social & others blaming senior executives for the crisis in HE is providing ammunition to those who want more control over what unis teach and research. Let’s have a discussion about the policy issues, not how unis are struggling to deal with them.

There is no madness like Australia’s parallel importation rules for books. Give your Oz distributors a kick.

It’s either that or I stop reading US/UK reviews and then getting annoyed when the book in question won’t come south of the equator before the next apocalypse.

Going by how hard it is to find The Sword Unbound in Australia it might be another two years before we see it in the antipodes.
