I agree it's annoying and can be time-consuming (unless you spot the hallucinated/fake references straight away, as you did!). I'm not quite sure of a better or more practical way than including it in the new normal for peer reviewers though to check for fakes, tho.

Lindsey Arielle Davidson @hebraicaveritas.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

I mean, I sort of have started doing it as a peer reviewer since picking up the habit from marking students' essays... but also the publisher focuses on typesetting, which is after acceptance. Annoying to take it on, but I'd probs prefer a specialist like a peer reviewer was checking for fakes.

It is striking that teaching at the speed of wordy PowerPoints becomes too much information for learning and discourages students taking notes by hand. In high school my teachers used to write on chalkboards. We'd write as they wrote in front of us, same speed. But PowerPoints race ahead faster.

sometimes all I can manage is five minutes with a book (apart from after bedtimes when I can sit for longer in free time) but even in five minutes I feel like my soul is nourished culturally & mentally. I don't know what other parents call this? I call it micro-reading. Feels 10x better than phone.

Reading Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham and it is truly a wonderful read. I'm really enjoying it. In writing a scene, Maugham has such perfect timing in when to add a sentence about an internal feeling or observation that cuts right to the heart of human experience. With two little children

This Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to introduce you all to the magical curse bowls used in Upper Mesopotamia and Syria in late antiquity. Written in Mandaic (as here) or Syriac Aramaic, they trap demons who trespass on a household by sucking them in with spiraling spells to the center of the bowl.

A Mandaic curse bowl in the Royal Ontario Museum. It has a spiraling Mandaic text that leads to an encircled x at the center.
