Finished up my Novitiates squad / #killteam. Not as happy with the paint job on these, but I was going for a Stanley Kubrick vibe with the gold masks! #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

I am (self-evidently) very interested in language. And also in technology. From that perspective, the rise of LLMs has created many new things for me to think about. One is: why is it that certain very small clusters of words are *clearly written by an LLM*? What is the quality of that writing?

I’ll be back to posting library and Information Literacy stuff soon, but in the meantime here are some more of my witchy Sisters of Battle. The warp ghost and punk Celestians were a lot of fun to build! #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

When you choose what you think is a good colour scheme for your Eversor assassin and then your GF walks in and says “Why is he dressed like Spider-Man?” ❤️ Anyway, here are some pictures of Spider-Man. #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

Is my Inquisition #killteam slowly turning into an Ordo Hereticus / Sisters of Battle army? …Yes. Did I try to paint a tiny picture on each backpack screen? …Also yes. #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

Off to see the @theswellseason.bsky.social tonight, having been a fan of Glen Hansard and the Frames for 20+ years. With everything going on at work, if they play ‘People We Used To Be’ there’s a very real possibility of tears.

Finished my #KillTeam… …Started working on their boss. #Warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity

It's @alisonhicks0.bsky.social in the Guardian! You should never have needed to write this. But well done 📚 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

MPs being (rightly) recalled over the 2,700 jobs at risk in British steel, while 5,000 university jobs are actively being cut this year with a further 5,000 jobs under threat and very little intervention is... interesting. Academia is also an industry in collapse. www.ucu.org.uk/article/1393...

If you’re a new professional or attending LILAC for the first time, head over to the First Timers and New Professionals Breakfast! It’s taking place each morning of #LILAC25 before sessions begin on Level 3 of the Centre for Student Life (CSL).

After two decades out of the hobby, I’ve been distracting myself from upheavals at work by building an Inquisition #killteam. Miniatures are the perfect decompression activity! #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity

In the new episode of Chatting Info Lit, I blur the host / guest line to talk about AI literacy teaching in Higher Education. The brilliant @evetagg.bsky.social prevents it from becoming a rant. Find the episode on SoundCloud, Apple, and Spotify! m.soundcloud.com/chatting-inf...

The CILIP Information Literacy Group is running a webinar on 1 April on AI and infolit teaching. Details below and the organisers will consider adding small case studies to the event, for anyone wishing to contribute. @infolitgroup.bsky.social #infolit www.tickettailor.com/events/cilip...

CILIP is concerned that the removal, hiding, and modification of data, research and other information resources by authorities in the USA is already starting to impede the vital work of UK information professionals. Read more👇 www.cilip.org.uk/news/693964/...

New BBC study finds that four major gen AI platforms risk misleading audiences by distorting journalistic output. The study concludes that ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini & Perplexity can't currently be relied upon to provide accurate news, thereby undermining public trust www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/...

One of the themes for this week is the importance of critical habits, including effective verification skills and the ability to detect misinformation. This free infographic provides a helpful overview of how to apply these skills to AI tools and content. @newslit.org newslit.org/educators/re...

If you want kids to develop good information literacy and research skills, give them comic books. Specifically, give them 5 random X-Men issues from the late ‘90s and encourage them to figure out who everybody is and what is going on.
