  Unacceptable that we are being asked to use less water to live safe natural lives while the war-tech moguls are given carte blanche to drain the planet dry and destroy it, like they are doing in the #MiddleEast🤬 Say NO to #ArtificialIntelligence and #DataCentres Say NO to war. https://airesistlist.org/

  Might this spurious correlation be significant: I have hyperopia, ie long distance vision (I need glasses to read). 1 in 5 (20%) have this compared to 1 in 3 (30%) who have myopia. My scholarship is broadly hyperopian: I see horizons rather than door steps. Are eyesight & intellect correlated?

  Do academic/scholarly writing collectives exist? I'm thinking of something akin to music collectives, eg. The Mouse Outfit, whereby musicians collaborate & release music collectively, not as fixed groups but as like-minded souls. Thx #AcademicWriting #AcademicPublishing

  Apologies for simply posting links from my BlueSky account but it's hard/time-consuming to simply copy-paste sometimes. I value both audiences. This one is about AI and writing the doctoral thesis #PhD #HigherEducation #AcWri #GenAI https://bsky.app/profile/serenissimaj.bsky.social/post/3mwthp74e322y

  A soul-vandalising day in UK #HigherEducation: - told to accept our increased workloads bcos the sick-leave & redundancies of others mean we must pick up the tab. Won't this make us sick, too? - told to let go of projects with no 'business case'. Won't this kill the dialogue & curiosity? I am 🤬

  Imagine if wealth were (re)distributed & democratised instead of hoarded & privatised: - Arts might flourish - weapons might vanish - nature might heal - community might prevail - eudaemonia might spread - greed & vanity might wilt - narcissism might wither - hedemonia might rot #ConcreteUtopia

  I can barely tell what is & isn't AI any more. I despise having to even waste time trying to do so. I am furious that all of this deliberate toxic distraction is being imposed on the masses to stop us doing what we should be doing as a solidaristic society: fighting injustice by disabling fascism

  "Like Robert Maxwell, Epstein is also increasingly reported to have been an Israeli spy (also like Maxwell, Epstein died in mysterious circumstances)." This is sick and very scary. Is UK government corrupt? May mainstream media report this. Share far & wide. https://electronicintifada.net/content/judge-palestine-action-case-has-ties-israel-lobby/51085
