@NickOsbaldiston Thats uncanny, I was just reading this which is very good on that point. Also probably time more lecturers dusted off Science as Vocation https://t.co/0v6YDx1ro0

@NickOsbaldiston Studios are just risk adverse maybe to secure financing? With Marvel, DC etc faltering maybe we will see the end off this stuff soon.

Nearly three-quarters of non-casual university staff loss between 2020 and 2021 was from non-academic staff. Among academic staff, early career level Bs hit the most, down nearly 6%. https://t.co/PjwbLaPuHv

@MarcusJMaloney @ThomasJane I haven't seen last ep but I have found this season really melodramatic. Will discuss after watching it.

[Scott Doidge @scdoidge]

@NickOsbaldiston Yeah it does feel rushed

[Scott Doidge @scdoidge]

@NickOsbaldiston I think something like Foundation manages to do the big stuff and the interpersonal well for example.

[Scott Doidge @scdoidge]

@NickOsbaldiston I have no problem with deep and meaningful, it just feels a bit forced. Like those moments have been planned and then the wider plot built around them and it detracts from some of the larger themes earth versus belters etc. I guess it is just a matter of balance.

[Scott Doidge @scdoidge]

@NickOsbaldiston I just find the conflict centred around a divided family a bit much and the deep and meaningful conversations a bit over cooked. The overarching world and story is great but and the characters are strong.

‘Before the pandemic Australia’s universities recruited large numbers of overseas students. In 2018 they made up 32 per cent of all new student enrolments. The universities want governments to allow these
numbers to be restored to their pre-Covid levels.’ https://t.co/2Qt9Apdo7c

@NickOsbaldiston I believe horses are more of a NSW/QLD border thing

"We found no evidence that trigger warnings improve students' mental health. What’s more, we are now convinced that they push students and faculty members alike to turn away from the study of vitally important topics that are seen as too 'distressing.'" https://t.co/rlNQYSSFiE

@MarcusJMaloney I have officially lost track of what is going on in this thread.

[Scott Doidge @scdoidge]

@MarcusJMaloney Lol. Sociology dad gags are the worst.

[Scott Doidge @scdoidge]

@MarcusJMaloney You and your liquid modernity.
