Hmm
Work in HE learning & teaching, particularly student engagement & learning analytics.
Also, love the Peak District and TTRPGs.
Mostly here for the jokes. Apologies if discussion about pedagogy is interrupted with DND jokes and vice versa.

the most predictable consequences ever:
Strikingly, every single one of the many smart glasses videos we found were captured by teen boys — and their bad behavior was overwhelmingly directed at girls.

Teen Boys Are Using Meta Glasses to Terrorize Girls at High Schools and Middle Schools
Teen boys are using Meta's AI glasses to harass and bully victims -- overwhelmingly girls -- at middle schools and high schools.

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace.
It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

Labour's stupidity around universities is driving me insane
A cheery message from the new minister responsible for research funding for the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences (and the subjects that the majority of UK taught undergraduate and Masters students study).
Science and maths degrees offer most value to the nation, says minister
Chris McDonald told a room full of vice-chancellors that science, engineering and mathematics ‘offer the greatest personal, social and economic value’

As I keep pointing out, does no one understand Ricardian comparative advantage anymore.
FACT: China produces over 1 million engineering graduates per year
FACT: To date, China has not produced a single internationally marketable game show format
Where does it look like our advantage lies?

It's just weird isn't it when the British Museum is running a sold-out exhibition, when The Odyssey reports $1billion at the box office, when the V&A has just opened the most innovative and accessible museum model in Europe....and this is what our minister for research comes out with.

So Kent Police knew about the fash mobilising 24 hours prior to the event?

Did Kent Police ignore a 999 call?
Contrary to their public statement, HOPE not hate can exclusively reveal that Kent Police were tipped off about the Patriot Platform mobilisation – and seemingly did not act on the information.
