Ethnic Stereotypes and the Letters of Paul is now available in hardback + paperback and I happen to have some spare copies.

***Repost if you’re interested and by March 31 I’ll randomly select a few people who will get a free copy in the mail.***

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

agree with much of what has been said. you just have to accept the misery and enjoy the love and cuteness. you do adjust (a bit). also take care driving, sleep deprivation is as bad as alcohol for driver impairment, so drive slower and don't rely on your reactions as normal.

In discussion via email, the editor's English has also contained several ESL type grammatical errors. If it were a student or a colleague, I wouldn't bat an eyelid. But this is a professional who has been tasked with correcting my work. Should I say something to the journal editor or AITA here? 2/2

So, I think the (professional) copy editor has introduced a number of grammatical errors into my manuscript - presumably caused by not understanding the sentence, and possible prompted by an AI grammar checker. 1/

nice one. i recently made it into double digits, but between kids, work and dog walking needs, i find those saturday mornings available for Parkrun surprisingly rare. Parkrun is one of those inclusive participatory communities, like folk music clubs, which I think churches could learn a lot from.

is it me or has LOEB online gone up in price dramatically? I am no longer allowed to buy it in USD, but have to buy in pounds or Euro.

AI is not powerful enough to dominate. Right now a lot of its biggest investors are panicking because it doesn't work as promised. So they're trying to offload their debt onto consumers by making AI seem inevitable. It's a Ponzi scheme, and once they get their money back the marketing will stop.

A Fresh Crop of New Blogs I've been hearing rumours that blogging is making a comeback. Some of us never went away, but I admit, it's been slim picking round here for...

Generative Al Statement:

The goal of this course is to help you improve as thinkers, scholars, and community members. The use of generative Al and LLMs (including Chat GPT) is antithetical to these goals. I strongly encourage you not to use generative Al to complete readings or assignments. There is growing evidence that the use of generative Al facilitates labor exploitation of workers in the Global South, causes severe local and global environmental damage, relies on stolen labor of writers and artists, fails to provide accurate information or citations, and may be causing a microgeneration of students to struggle to think/write critically and become less employable after college. Beyond all of these, generative Al-written papers are (more often than not) poorly argued, woodenly and generically written, and obvious to humanities professors.

This course aims to help us practice the acts of critical thinking, analyzing, discussing, producing knowledge, and engaging with the communities in which we live. Accordingly, I ask that you embrace the difficulty of that process rather than attempt to outsource these skills. At the same time, I am not interested in attempting to surveil you through Al-detection software because this creates a hostile classroom environment between students and their professor. College is a time for you to decide who you want to be and how you want to engage the work set before you.

I never really researched Nuremberg, so I was unaware until today that the famous “Nuremberg Defense” (“we were just following orders”) was not, in fact, the only defense offered by Nazi criminals at Nuremberg.
