It is a truth universally acknowledged that all of your university’s key systems will break down in the first week of term.

I understand that nowadays many people use AI to give them short summaries of articles. Let me save you the bother. The short of version of my Cromwelliana article on the whether the Remonstrance was a blueprint for regicide - yes.

I was watching the classic Star Trek TOS episode 'Space Seed' last night which introduces super-villain Khan Noonien Singh. I had forgotten that this episode features the ship's historian, Lt. Marla McGivers, who seems to spend most of her time making erotic drawings of gladiators in her quarters.

Nice to see my review of John Rees’ Fiery Spirits in this month’s Literary Review. A work that demonstrates how popular politics made the English Revolution.

Is anyone aware of/can point me towards any university guidance on tackling suspected misuse of AI in doctoral vivas?

Does anyone have a link or suggestions for good guidance on managing footnoting in long word-docs? One of my PhD students is finding it difficult to get their notes in order. Any suggestions gratefully received.

My current role ends in October: if anyone needs a temporary tutor in early modern history or as a freelance researcher please do drop me a line! I have over 10 years experience in teaching and a wide practical knowledge of working in archives in the UK and abroad.

Guys there’s an easy way to check whether something’s true online. You just breed a couple generations of space witches trained on discerning the truth and pay the leaders of the sisterhood to grant a witch to every powerful politician

And in which he compares the Levellers to today’s anonymous online sh💩tposters! An extraordinary reading of the 1640s, replete with quotes from William Dell among others.

Excellent thread but this one was my favourite as the only bio hacker to actually mention their family but only in the context of trying to give their children listeria or leaving the house as soon as their partner came home.
