This is such a great project. Why don’t we do this across schools?
Congrats to ALL Prof. Leach’s students.
Here are four charts that jumped out at me, but go see the collection for yourself.

@brylaura11 Great, albeit very worrying, thread.

If a newspaper writes something defamatory about you, you have sue. It's expensive, time-consuming, and unlikely to work.

If you're Ottawa, you just ask the "social-media giants" to take the offending piece down. https://t.co/q35AH8ZrV0 via @torontostar

It's very expensive to train #AI large language models, quantified, making this unlikely to be achievable in academic institutions

My annual budget buzzword bingo historical histogram.

Is this serious analysis? Nope.
Does it capture the buzzwords of the moment? Maybe?

Curious to know how Canadian unis are handling internal discussions about ChatGPT etc. Are things largely being left for individual profs to work out? Are faculties/depts working out common approaches? Uni-wide approaches? How much is pedagogical focus vs. anti-cheating focus?

this is sad, DPreview is so great

@AlexUsherHESA Would it be possible (or even useful) to recreate the second chart (ratio of price to academic salary) using the 2010 data for salaries & housing to show the changes over time? The CREA HPI tool has the 2010 data here: https://t.co/fbTv2QVfbR

@StatsBomb Oh cool! Jessie Fleming - Chelsea this year and last; or Kadeisha Buchanan this year versus last year at Lyon.

🚨 The CanWNT only has 20 players in camp, which isn’t even enough to practice 11 v 11 matches.

#CanWNT hardly play home games in Canada as it is. Just three in 2022.

#CanWNT have not played at home since June 26, 2022 at BMO Field.

Not playing at home ahead of a World Cup tournament would never happen to the men’s national team. #FIFAWWC

[@amy13walsh @amy13walsh]

Knowing Bontis’ links with union-busting, is anyone surprised by this move?

[Stephanie Labbé @stephlabbe1]

It breaks my heart that we legitimately have a team that can go and WIN A WORLD CUP and the federation is literally doing everything financially to not make that happen. Cutting budgets, shrinking rosters, no home game, and mentally draining players. This is not ok. #canwnt

[Nigel Wallis @nigelwallis]

@TheRoom442 @jamessharman From the CNWT's PoV, why should Sinclair, Beckie, Lawrence, Fleming et al care about the fate of the CPL? CSA money from both the men's and women's teams flows to the CSB, and yet? No Cdn women's league...

[Britannia Winter Trail @BritanniaTrail]

Now this is what #UrbanWinterTrails are all about! @KichiSibiWT groomed in front of Parliament, and a Nordic Ski club from BC skiing on @RideauWinter, hoping on the #LRT to then ski in front of #Parliament.
