"Data Centers" are nothing more than surveillance centers that also happen to kill the environment. Fight to keep them out of your state.

Saw this on twitter. I totally agree with this. I've seen many papers that failed to cite something important from another field or subfield of study. Many researchers these days are very focused on their own field and don't have time to learn the advances in another field. #AcademicSky #Research

When it comes to platform governance, we must reframe the conversation towards mandating transparency and accountability, with a specific focus on the internal recommendation engines, writes Tech Policy Press contributing editor Amber Sinha:

🗽 Big day for new publications: the special issue of _Comunicazione Politica_ that @gboccia.bsky.social, @essideh.com, Laura Iannelli, and I edited has now come out, and includes our introduction on Fringe Democracy and the Platformisation of the Public Sphere. www.rivisteweb.it/do...

The ABC is very lucky to have a journalist like Bridget Brennan.

Jane Caro: “Education is used by the rest of the world to at least try to break down the class system. Almost alone in the developed world, Australia is using it to build one.” @janecaro.bsky.social #auspol www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2024/j....

If we’re not careful, generative AI could become a weapon reactionary forces use to dismantle liberal democracy. We must urgently foster education and harness AI in defense of it. 🧪 #AcademicSky

overambitious, if you ask me, for a nation whose animals are not even literate

My work with @arantes.bsky.social and Anitra Goriss-Hunter is finally out. We use Butler's notion of subjectification to rethink digital poverty in the context of initial teacher education, but the argument has broader application. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #education #AcademicSky #EduSky

OK but what if we kept boycotting Amazon and other dodgy brands for more than one day?

From Times HE "Australia’s opposition will review university fees, reintroduce the “50 per cent pass rule”, reclaim veto rights on research grants, regulate vice-chancellors’ salaries and “leave no stone unturned” to stamp out campus antisemitism if it wins the forthcoming federal election. *sigh*

So Dutton used a family trust to hide assets and minimize tax payable on buying and selling millions in properties but wants the people that can least afford it to use their super for a home ownership, that ruins their long game for retirement but Dutton will be just fine with his mega millions! 🤯

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

I swear this 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 happens in our lab #AcademicChatter

US based academics, how are you?

I really wish journalists would frame lying in politics as a weakness, as a sign of a lost argument, as morally wrong, as unfair on voters, as manipulative and bad for democracy, rather than the way it is currently presented - as a cunning political strategy.

The well-below poverty level of Commonwealth PhD scholarships is terrible for the people on them and for our national research capability. www.theage.com.au/national/kat...

If you missed it/are interested I wrote this rant about lazy comedians blaming wokeness for their bad jokes because it drives me insane 😃😃😃😃😃

On this day 12 years ago, @kcg.bsky.social posted the “This is Fine” comic.

Yep. The LA fires have made it abundantly clear the response will always be: 1) Blame environmentalists 2) Try to buy their way out of it. Tbh Australia has now had a 20 years of so of bushfires being blamed on Green groups.

I like to share stuff that's useful for PhDs and researchers. Despite more people being here, there's not much around. It seems years of algorithmic shaping has resulted in so many people giving up blogging/newsletter writing. I hope this place will encourage people to start writing again.

Vlado Chernozemski, who assassinated King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, belonged in his youth to a club that was devoted to a game of regicide. In the game, known as "chess," contestants subtly maneuver into a position that allows them to topple the opponent's monarch.

PESA is my academic home 🧡and after last week’s conference I am feeling intellectually renewed

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Keynote Speakers! As #PESAConference2024 comes to a close, we extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible keynote speakers: Professor Carl Mika Professor Ruyu Hung Professor Michael Hand Associate Professor Jacoba Matapo #PhilosophyOfEducation #ThoughtLeaders

The #PESAConfrerence2024 is starting very soon in beautiful Christchurch. I’m getting excited!

I’m in Christchurch for a conference and wow this city rocks. Beautiful river, fab food, flats roads for cycling, and lots of street art

This is... good advice. Advice I should take.

“First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is persistence in practice.” ― Octavia Butler #AcademicSky #WritingSky #AcWri

Hallmark Christmas movie where a big city academic goes to a small town and falls in love with the first person who's mildly interested in their research

🚨After an eight-month legal battle a university professor - who gave evidence over the PwC tax leaks scandal - has obtained a secretive complaint PwC made against him. It reveals the complaint is a sham. Goes to the heart of PwC's ongoing global cover-up... theklaxon.com.au/a3ok

Who could have possibly seen this coming?! (apart from those of us that possess critical thinking)

@australianlabor.bsky.social I will vote & campaign against every ALP senator from Victoria if you pass these cruel anti-refugee bills. Depriving a refugee of a mobile phone while you try to deport them? You can’t sink any lower.

“Having read through the vast bulk of the publicly available written submissions, it’s clear that most experts believe this is an ill thought-through policy which lacks evidentiary basis, likely won’t work, and will have wide-ranging ramifications for every social media user in Australia” #noageban
