I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

Libgen, it appears, is no longer actively functional. Its various mirror sites are available, but it seems new books are not being added. When it was active, Libgen would sometimes upload a PDF before the official release! Libgen has done more for promoting scholarship in the global south than any other organization or funding agency. I hope it returns to its normal status. A lot of scholarship depends on Libgen!

Wonderful from Spain. Brilliant to watch. This is what this sport is all about: possession, technique and interplay overcoming a tried-and-failed brand of regaining the ball then having absolutely no idea what to do with it. A victory for football lovers around the world. Olé!

By far my favourite Scotland vs Brazil story is the referee saying “Good luck, may the best team win” to both captains before the game in 1982 and Graeme Souness replying “I fucking hope not”

I put Ronaldo fans in the same bracket as flat earthers

Alexi Lalas obviously sucks in a very specific way but it's also a very revealing look into American sports commentary that European legends of the game do nuanced tactical analysis while Lalas' job is to just be like "Jude Bellingham does NOT have the clutch gene!!!"

IT'S A HAT-TRICK FROM LIONEL MESSI 🤯

You can know that literature is a higher, more human, pursuit than music because there’s never been a virtuosic 6 year old novelist

De la Fuente putting Gavi and Ferran as touchline wingers, this is the most stupid decision ever taken on american soil, even worse than the Vietnam war

[Dan Walden @dwaldenwrites]

There are honest scholars barely hanging on working brutal 4-4 teaching loads while people with the cushiest jobs imaginable are committing bald academic fraud, and the former will mostly stay precarious and the latter will keep their jobs.

[Chris Carothers @ChrisCarothers]

@AramHur @koreaobserver @FletcherSchool Some people suggested I shouldn't post this, or that no one cares. Maybe the latter is true. But for the former, I want to say that me naming and shaming like this isn't in any way personal. It's about holding the line.

Kebab guy actually does care about me. One time my gf got a kebab with her coworker and bossman informed me of the incident

Professors often complain about students. My experience teaching college for about 40 years is if you motivate high expectations of students, most are excited to rise to it. "It is a poor craftsman who blames his tools."

[Zena Hitz @zenahitz]

This is a collective action problem. If all the professors assign lots of reading, the students will rise to it. If there's competition over the ease of the class, it will be a race to the bottom.

[John Attridge @John_Attridge]

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit

Passport privilege is real. Missing out on two incredible conferences in Dublin and Paris this month because of visa barriers. The financial loss hurts, but the lost opportunities to connect with amazing people hurt more.

[Tobias Schneider @tobiaschneider]

I do feel like they would quickly learn to do the readings if you started giving them failing grades for not doing the reading

[Nida Kirmani @NidaKirmani]

Those of us who teach reading & writing should not be teaching students how to 'game the system' by encouraging (or even allowing) AI use in our classes; we should be teaching them how to actually use their brains; we should be teaching knowledge production, not slop production.
