@dhlexpress.bsky.social you have for the second time failed to deliver my parcel. The photo of “proof of delivery” is a joke as it’s a pile of parcels in a warehouse. @olaplex.bsky.social you need to know your courier of choice is not doing its job.

Reviews like this show a lack of understanding of sample size and paradigms.

Delighted to announce that Joy Perkins and I won Best Paper at the Micro-credentials and Sustainability Symposium in Tallinn, Estonia. This paper was based on work with employers that Joy led on my #QAAScotland collaborative cluster. More details at www.enhancementthemes.ac.uk/resilient-le...

“A promotion for everyone”
That is laughable.

You do know this is nonsense?

I’ll make sure I get at least an unofficial message to you tomorrow.

You should hear soon, Sharon. We have a huge number of proposals and decisions are going out now. I can check the list for you tomorrow.

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Why? Why does the burden of payment have to lie with students? It’s a major cause of mental ill health in the student population. Why are you so intent on imposing more damage on students?

Why aren’t we honest about Westminster as a currency issuer? Thatcherite economics have had their day. We should bury the myth of the household budget.

How can the Scottish government do anything? Labour have cut funding to Holyrood by 16%. All roads lead to Westminster and their ridiculous neoliberal policies which are fiscally illiterate.

thank goodness for @lawriephipps.bsky.social, @donnalanclos.com and @richardwatermeyer.bsky.social for writing such a clear eyed take down.

Another league table to give a miss, ably anatomised in @wonkhe.bsky.social . Amuse yourself during a tedious meeting by checking profiles. The success rate for capturing Humanities publications is unsurprisingly low (albeit inflated by mis-attributions). As for the institutional attributions....

Do we need a league table of scholars produced by Silicon Valley?

For Lawrie Phipps, Donna Lanclos, and Richard Watermayer a new ranking of individual academics is a troubling development in a changing academic landscape
