all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

everyone’s discussing how financially stupid this is and they’re right but it’s also logistically stupid. zero way to charge foreigners and not locals without a hell of a lot of racism coming out in the wash

"integrate AI into your workflow..."

buddy, given half a chance I'd be scratching on vellum with oak gall ink in a nice dark clochán on Skellig Michael.

I have no interest in generative AI at all, I wish they would stop trying to crowbar it into *everything*.

Sometimes the effort is the point.

To mark the 125th anniversary of the Schwebebahn in Wuppertal this month, here's a 1950s tourism poster designed by Harald Gutschow.

Father Purdon developed the text [Luke 16: 8-9] with resonant assurance. It was a text for business men and professional men setting before then as exemplars in the religious life those very worshippers of Mammon who were of all men the least solicitous in matters religious.

Max Hegarty, who is studying aerospace engineering, said the proposals also affect students on other courses. He has taken modules in German, and said this enabled him to do an internship in Germany. "So much of our European engineering is based in Germany," he said. "While a lot of people are willing to learn English, not returning that effort to them is not great for that collaboration, for that international co-operation that we need. "Cutting funding for modern languages courses serves only to paralyse our growth as a country."
