student essays come up with 100% scores from TurnItIn, but they've copied and pasted my essay questions in, which are also flagged as AI. so either these detectors are completely useless or I am not who I say I am

Farage has a better grasp of the theatrical myth-making nature of contemporary celebrity politics than any other frontline politician. Reform’ll do better than expected. Labour will benefit but may in the long term regret defenestrating all their ā€˜populist’ voices.

A university that spends over £1m on private consultants seeking advice on how to sack staff it says it can't afford really needs to look at itself. Meanwhile amazing to see students & academics standing with Goldsmiths UCU to fight for jobs. It's #notadonedeal Goldsmiths, University of London

2 of my favorite papers i've ever written were rejected like 5 times before publication, often with gratutiously mean reviews. it's not really a success story - i spent years on them, which probably wasn't worth it. but the lesson is spite is important for scholarship.

Enough w/ the corporate destruction of universities. Academics the world over need to unite in affirming the best idea of the university. And university councils need to hold vain managers accountable.Solidarity with Goldsmiths, University of London Goldsmiths UCU colleagues Tertiary Education Union #NotADoneDeal

'While we should worry about the conduit from toxic manosphere fringe to teen-friendly TikTok fare, if the plan was to brainwash a new generation, it doesn’t seem to be working very well. In fact, sigmas have become a bit of a laughing stock.'

ā€œThere’s a chance that without intervention, the higher education model may accidentally evolve … into a two-tier system based on who can afford to attend university.ā€ True except for the accident part. theguardian.com/education/arti…
