A very first world issue! Impression over substance.
Sounds like hubris should start to come into play before too long ...

Has to be said, this is a politician speaking the truth!
Its what happens when you put people who enjoy cruelty in positions of power. Seems to be happening more and more frequently.
Yup @jchrispires.bsky.social. I ask it about a piece I've written & published in an academic journal. The title includes my name (McCulloch's Iron Laws of Conferences) so I ask it about the laws & who is McCulloch. Often invents new laws & fictitious McCullochs. files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1...
"The paradox at the heart of modern higher education is this: we have created the most knowledge-rich era in human history, & yet wisdom; the harder, slower, braver capacity to know what to do with that knowledge, has never felt more scarce." lnkd.in/gy4upS3V #University #HigherEd #Knowledge #Wisdom
Scandalous. Its that simple. Scandalous.

Says a lot about priorities and what a country values. As Deep Throat said in the movie 'All the President's Men', "Follow the money". Having a society where there is a large number of homeless people is a political choice. (Feel free to substitute any number of social ills in place of 'homeless'.)
Wondering? Did decline of the quality of working conditions coincide rather too closely with the start of the idea that every organisation, even those whose name told you exactly what they did (eg schools, universities, police, banks, etc) had to have a Mission Statement. 😎 #business #grumpy #dayoff
Impossible to understand or support.
Well, who'd have guessed it. Despite all the protestations about it simply being about culture, Union Jacks and St George's crosses, and blue passport covers, it's really all about the colour of someone's skin. I think that's a definitional characteristic of racism.
Great movie!
Sounds a lot like socialism/social democracy ... Today his party (the Republicans) and its leaders would label him a 'Commie bast*rd'. #eisenhower #USpolitics #MAGA
If anyone needs something to calm them down today, I can think of nothing better than this 20 minutes of magic that I never tire of listening to. Close to perfection! #calm #music #relax www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkDL...
Just bragging that my team and I have been awarded an Australian Awards for University Teaching Citation for 'the conceptualisation, development and implementation of a model of HDR transition that facilitates the student socialisation and identity change involved in research degree study'. #AAUT
And to you as well, my friend. Can we pretend he's Welsh - still Celtic, call him Dai Lemma, and then suggest that he's got the correct horns for someone of that name?
Is that a misspelling of 'Head Spurs', Mike?
I'm starting to think that the social mechanisms by which people move into elite positions might not be working quite as well as the functionalist sociologists once suggested ... and the same concerns arise when I think about representative democracy ...
I just read in the New York Times that Trump has just announced he's going continue bombing Iran “uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE ...". Let me think about that ...
I was sorry to hear of her death. Julie Proud let me know. A very personable PhD student who made a big contribution to Edge Hill research student life.
Reminiscent of 'Let them eat cake' ... and we know where that ended up ... #revolution
Please tell me its 1 April ...
As a psephologist, John Curtis should know better than assume votes move in blocks rather than as flows of different sizes and in different directions, especially in situations this this byelection. Its Political Science Election Studies 101 stuff. Should retire if he's running that old furphy.
Le Carré should be a compulsory text on all International Relations and Foreign Affairs degree courses. His books are closer to what the world of spying seems to be about than almost any others I've read.
🤣🤣🤣
It certainly feels hard, and it is work, but its not a simple job! We run dangers if we see it like a job. A PhD is closer to a creative act. Read more here ... 'Alienation and the Problem of Work in Doctoral Education' #Marx #alienation

Absolutely bonkers email. Can didicate it to whoever or whatever Faith wants, including her pet cat or the place by the river where she used to sit and think if she so desires!!
I was interested in how GenAI systems would talk to each other and so had ChatGPT and Grok write a collaborative story based on an initial prompt from me. Turned out very differently to what I expected. You can read (and comment on it) here. Thoughts? #GenAI
