In 1959, a coffee maker was an optional extra in cars. The Hertella Auto Kaffeemachine was the first and only known dashboard-mounted coffee maker. It came with magnetic porcelain cups

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.

how do you focus on writing lectures for a new module when you know attendance will be poor & many of the essays will be written by a brainless computer? why keep up research & "public engagement" when we are seen as so expendable & secondary to what a university is for?

Every aspect of UK universities is in crisis. My institution is going to implement a voluntary severance scheme to remove 5% of staff while spending wildly on marketing & "prestige" events. Students can barely afford to live & aren't turning up for class, & many are reliant on AI for their essays.

They were at least efficient at funneling the student fee income to the consultants and getting bonuses for doing so.
Thank goodness universities spent all that money over the last decade on management consultants telling them how to become more efficient because otherwise this would be *checks notes* bad www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
University cash crisis will get worse despite tuition fee rise, BBC told
More than three quarters of universities expected to face financial problems next year.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
We need to get back to reading and critical thinking
Because 2024 feels different from 2016.
