Hysterical Marxist, Leftist agitator, dangerous anti-neoliberal, cynical nonconformist, loudmouth activist, organiser, complainer, questioner, snob. Allegedly.

🎉My pamphlet MATCHES comes out with @VervePoetryPres 8 Feb. Not an easy book to write but a necessary one. Huge thanks to the exceptional poets who blurbed & supported this book, and to @stubartholomew.
*Launch dates in Dublin & Belfast coming soon!*

This one goes out to all the academics who are parents—especially the mothers—trying desperately to get some writing done while entertaining their kids and paying through the nose for sporadic “summer camps” that run for less than 4 hours a day.

This is terrible, but I guess for some in university management provoking massive mental distress in the university staff, who actually do the work the university exists to do, is taken as a sign of "leadership".

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

"Last decade has seen growth of a powerful managerial class in Universities which has little scrutiny It is often disconnected from the Statutes that govern University institutions". Sounds familiar, no?

I wonder what tiny percentage of the cost of a new runway at Heathrow it would take to stabilise UK universities, which are actual engines of economic growth and societal progress?

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Of course we have vague standards. We make up for it by making arbitrary decisions.

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.

People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

So what’s the collective noun for Deans/VPs, I wonder…

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

To decrease the size of the university, we need a dean of university efficiency. We’ll fix everything by creating a new dean!

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

We need to find something for our biggest donor to do. So please join me in welcoming our new Dean for Efficiency and Innovation. See we told we would stay committed to DEI!
