We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.
We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.
The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

There is no way to watch the new 'Harry Potter' show subversively. If you're watching, you are buying in.

Just 1 example of the kind of thing unis are getting for their massive spend on consultants. ANU spent $6k on a "non-significant meeting" with a reputation management firm at which apparently no one took a note. That's more than a tutor gets for a semester's work

“One of the great ironies of the AI age, such as it is, is that it wound up looking like shit.”
It was absolutely outrageous but also not surprising at all. So sad to see universities I have cared deeply about (UOW, ANU) gutted.
Watch ABC Four Corners tonight as our corporatised universities come under the microscope - the VCs, the consultants, the sheer mismanagement that sells students, staff and taxpayers short.

> there is a structural analysis that Enshittification doesn't seem to be making, and that taking Lorde's speech seriously rather than as a meme might push us toward.

Creates the Student Educational Technologies Rights Act. Provides that it is the policy of the State that a student and the student's parent have the right to: opt out of school-issued personal electronic devices, electronic textbooks, electronic required reading, or electronic or online assignments; request a human teacher review any automated scored grade or scored grade generated by artificial intelligence; and opt out of predictive analytics systems without academic penalty. Amends the School Code. Removes language allowing school districts that collect biometric information from students to adopt specified policies. Prohibits a school district from purchasing or otherwise acquiring biometric systems to use on students
A new proposed law in Illinois - the Student Educational Technologies Rights Act - looks promising!
