Citation count is not the only measure of impact for academic publications. Rolled eyes, snorts of derision and involuntary wincing are also valid metrics

I needed this today and snickered at the circ desk while reading though (even though I've only occasionally played tabletop RPGs). Sorry, not sorry, colleagues. #AcademicChatter #AcademicHumor

#academichumor abounds in Jay Rubin’s _Making Sense of Japanese_. Very amusing joke in the Preface. Best one so far in the discussion of wa/ga. I should have read this decades ago. 45 years in Japan and still discovering things I get wrong.

#loryaiart Apr 9 — English Bulldog • Grape • British Racing Green
The Intellectual Underdog
You’ve spent the morning chasing your own tail.
#Bulldog #AcademicHumor #DistinguishedGentleman #GrumpyChic #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares
A highly stylized and caricatured digital painting of an English Bulldog with a scholarly yet slightly disheveled aesthetic. The dog is positioned in the center of the frame, looking upward with a weary and contemplative expression. It wears thick, oversized black-rimmed glasses that sit slightly askew on its wrinkled snout, and a thin, dark green collar with a small, matching plaid necktie. A few sparse, wiry hairs sprout from the top of its head, resembling a frantic professor's hairstyle. The bulldog’s fur is a mix of warm tan and white, rendered with thick, painterly brushstrokes that emphasize the deep folds of skin around its jowls and chest. The background is a muted, desaturated gray with visible textures, creating a studio-portrait feel. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the moisture in the dog's large, expressive eyes and the subtle pink tones of its lower lip. Keywords: Bulldog, spectacles, necktie, scholarly, caricature, grumpy, wrinkles, academic, digital painting, tan, gray, whimsical AI-generated; use is permitted for non-commercial creative projects.
