Is Treelaw just around the corner?

Do I know anyone who reads Persian well enough to help resolve a machine translation of a health research article from Persian to English and would be willing to have a look? The researchers have no funding but we could do some kind of skills barter perhaps.

What the US has done to Philippine food is a goddamn crime

It's like a postcard...

Calamity follows and it wasn't even my fault this time

Just saying, while the US is busy dismantling evidence-based healthcare and research, the Philippines is introducing a national level evidence-synthesis initiative to inform clinical practice guidelines in the pursuit of universal healthcare.

Exciting event in the Philippines today #jbi @jbiebhc.bsky.social

What's your sign?

Hi Sydney! 👋

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The cafe side of my local is closed so I'm eating breakfast over on the bar side. Feels slightly transgressive at this time of the morning lol

Weirdly, this is the kind of thing I miss now that I don't live in Brisbane. Adelaide is very tame in comparison www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Wow, no one could have predicted this...🙄

Today's Wordle solution is amusing in the context of Trump's idiot lawsuit

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Academic blueskyers who peer review, how would you feel about a peer review instruction that included a specific direction that peer reviewers should not ask authors to cite the peer reviewer's own papers unless there is an excellent justification? #academicsky

Man on 7-figure salary lectures on fiscal responsibility

This will be a interesting change for Alice www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

This explains SO much

Friends who also live in apartments - what is the bowling ball noise??? I hear it at all hours of the day and night and I'm baffled.

Sign the petition asking the VC of Melbourne University to use 10% of their salary to keep iconic literary journal Meanjin going. They'll still be earning more than the VC of Cambridge! #AcademicSky

"Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning." #academicsky

Left my laptop at home 😭

Who would you want as a speaker at a conference on evidence synthesis, #academicsky?

I have devised a foolproof age verification system to ensure that only older Australians can access social media sites. I have sent my invoice to the federal government. Thankyou for your attention to this matter

Katter is throwing a tanty because he doesn't want people remembering those times he claimed to be Indigenous, IMO

"People who attend the “March for Australia” rallies will almost certainly be marching alongside white supremacists and neo-Nazis," "Politicians from all sides should be at the counter-protests this weekend to demonstrate that neo-Nazis have no place in Australia." @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol

If you haven't, you really should, especially if you're Australian

Australia too.

I voted yes on a pet application (for my place in Alice) and part of it said the dog needs to stay inside because she's so little and an eagle might carry her away. Fair enough.

I continue to be surprised there are authors who don't obsessively read the author guidelines before submitting an article to a journal. Am I just weird? #academicsky

It's been about 48 hours since I was on a plane, so of course I'm coming down with something. So many coughing, sneezing people on those flights. I do not have time for this.

Well it's been about 24 hours since we left the hotel in Yogya, but I'm finally home. Tea and decompression are in order.

Oh God, a body builder is in the middle seat next to me. Neither of us are happy about it.

Flight is leaving hurrah! Bye, Yogya, it's been a blast!

Google Translate is so rubbish at Bahasa Indonesia and there's really no excuse. 4th largest country in the world ffs!

Flight from Yogya to Jakarta has been delayed. That 5.5 hours between flights we were complaining about is seeming more and more reasonable all the time.

But first, Prambanan.
