Why should anyone pay tuition for an AI generated course?

My colleague at @hhu.bsky.social and go-to-phonologist Christian Uffmann just released a special music video to introduce himself.

He truly puts the fun back in phonology, the antics in semantics, and makes you scream for more more more morphology 🎢🎡

As incoming president, I'd like to congratulate all the speakers accepted for the IATEFL conference in Edinburgh next year. Looking forward to a joyous few days. #IATEFL2025 #IATEFL

Ironic that when I tried to read the article, it was completely obscured by pop-up windows and ads πŸ˜‚

Enshittification - the gradual deterioration of a service or product - has been named Word of the Year by Macquarie Dictionary. If words are coined because we need them, what does this say about our times?

Yes, that should do it. I use Wordpress to generate mine.

True. But if your twitter handle is your real name, hanging onto it makes it harder for fake accounts to fool people, and makes scammers or bad faith actors easier to spot and report. Call it reputational management if you like. Not that it happens very often but I’ve seen it go on.

I'm keeping mine to prevent impostors using my name and I've locked my account, but I've deleted the app from my devices. If Musk goes maybe things might change but I'm not holding out much hope...

They won't let you downgrade? Seriously? Oh dear πŸ€”
We have a dedicated server so our setup wouldn't work for you, though feel free to pick my brain about hosting generally.

Yep. I remember once I had to do an emergency fix when I discovered a plug-in embedded on numerous pages of my blog was redirecting to another site. It turned out the domain that the plug-in was hosted on had lapsed and had been bought by another company. Not fun, and it taught me a lesson!

I opted for 100% self-hosting on my blogs and websites. Wordpress is fairly easy to manage. It's easier if you know how to write code (which I do) but even if you don't, IMO it's a better bet than hosting content on a site you have no control over if things go badly wrong.

I'm not familiar with Substack but based on personal experience, I wouldn't recommend using a third-party platform to host content. Same goes for plug-ins. I've had content hosted on third-party sites in the past disappear or become paywalled without warning, and plug-ins hacked and redirected.

Good reminder! Please, consider using Camel Case when you use hashtags - capitalise the first letter of each word (e.g., #EduSky). It improves readability for everyone, including users who rely on screen readers for accessibility.

We have to challenge the forces of darkness that are taking over in any way we can. This advice from Stephen King should be relayed to every American child who lives in a state where certain books are banned from libraries.

Decided to join the great migration from the platform formally known as twitter πŸ™‚ Chances are that I won't post much here, but if we know each other professionally give me a heads-up and I will connect with you.
