14/ As @mccowan.bsky.social has written in his 2025 book 'Universities & Climate Action': "Individually & collectively, university has equipped [graduates] with the apparatus either to continue destroying the environment... or to move towards... ensuring a sustainable human society & planet"

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you. Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

This is what I keep telling students: you think AI is producing "good writing" and that it "thinks" because you have not actually learned what good writing and what critical thinking is, and if you want to survive in this hellscape, you have to learn these without AI.

Hundred years of solitude is one of my favourite books. But I always remember García Márquez vowed it should never go on screen. Does it feel like a bit of a betrayal to watch it now?

Clarivate’s highly cited researcher list just came out. 21 academic areas. Of those, 17 in STEM. And then “economics and business”, “psychiatry and psychology”, “social sciences” and “cross-field”. Nothing on arts and humanities. Something a bit skewed here?

Major carbon emissions come from flights of international students. Whose responsibility is it, universities or students?

There’s no purely empirical research, there’s just research that doesn’t own its theory
