Letter in vacuous management speak by university executives - may be real or may be ChatGPT
Letter in vacuous management speak by university executives - may be real or may be ChatGPT
One of these was an email sent out by the U of A executive today; the other was produced by ChatGPT with a prompt instructing it to generate a letter satirising corporatist language by academic management in the announcement of an appointment to a new position. Which is real?
One thing I have not been able to find out about the new Pope via social media is where exactly he is from. No one I know seems to have mentioned it!
I'd like to congratulate Duck Phillips on becoming the new Prime Minister of Canada.
DNC Aiming To Reconnect With Working-Class Americans With New ‘Hamilton’-Inspired Lena Dunham Web Series
Mark Carney looks like Duck Phillips tried to disguise himself by parting his hair on the other side.
For some reason, the story of Ken McElroy is on my mind today.

I do not understand how anyone can take Latour seriously - especially if one has actually read any of the supposed targets of his hamfisted critiques.
I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.
Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy
Wtf is happening in South Korea? Was there the slightest sign this would happen, or am I totally ignorant of world affairs?
I am perversely impressed by Heidegger's ability to turn Hölderlin into Rupi Kaur. He's like "Eat, Pray, Love" for the constipatedly self-important.
England's Euros performance parallels Labour's election victory. A leader without vision or charisma, lack of anything on the left wing, indifferent performances, winning due to weak opposition. It'll be complete if England win the final 3-0, all own goals by their opponents.
It's a scene from The wire where Frank sobatka says you see that bridge Nick and he points at the key bridge that just got destroyed: "You see that bridge Nick? It's one of them what do you call it a metaphor. It's like us sobotkas and our union and the whole working class in this country. It's going to last forever just like we are"
When I tell you I screamed
Mmm, the taste of England. They should do this as a cologne.
(Not sure what it says about me that this is what the Instagram algorithm thinks I’d be interested in.)
The list of people who are angrier at Jonathan Glazer than at Benjamin Netanyahu is, if nothing else, instructive.
God, I really love teaching Benjamin's "On some motifs in Baudelaire."
Probably my absolute favourite class of all: it's such a gorgeous piece, and it always elicits the best discussion.
Holy shit. That was tense, and I wasn't a fan of the effort Bournemouth were putting in, but oh god, we're safe for now.
Damn well better buy a striker over summer, though.
Ooh thanks! This is wonderfully deranged.
I may as well ask to get in on that, if you don’t mind - just to be on as many branches as I can.
Me toooo! And Geocities chat rooms, and even IRC and Usenet. Wild times.
Ha! That was meant to say “face,” but clearly I’m already losing touch with my old, merely material and worldly consciousness.
Like the land of the lotus eaters of Homeric lore…
Who needs ayahuasca to see the f e of God when we have the hellthread?
I feel my life changing.
Oh god. My notifications are going to go wild, aren’t they? Well, at least many years from now when this opens to everyone, I’ll be able talk as one who was there in days of yore etc
Okay, now I’m getting concerned… unless it’s you is the real one, and I’m just part of the AI coming to consciousness…
Looks like it’s our past, present, and future then!
Oooh I didn’t realize… I missed the start. Wait, is this the hellthread?
