36 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre #NeverForget 🧪 👩🔬 ⚛️ 🎢 #AcademicSky 🇨🇦

It's not great that a student can turn in a bad essay but vaguely point to the Bible and religious beliefs as an excuse for not following the actual assignment and terrible writing. That's not what college is supposed to be.
The professor did nothing wrong but she was pulled off the course anyways.

Who could say no to having a Kerrywoman cursing your enemies this time of year? Much better value than any supposed discounts. And you get some awesome artwork into the bargain #BuyIrish #Artwork
Not doing Black Friday because I'm against the creeping Americanisation of Irish life and can't afford to as a small artist, but WILL be doing Vengeful Hag Friday where for every piece of art you purchase from www.ciaraioch.com/artprints I will fervently wish bad cess to your enemies

I am allowed to fail students for AI use, and I do, and I say I will, repeatedly and emphatically. As a result, I wind up having to fail very few students for AI use.
I read the thread and know why they're not failing the students. They gotta let colleges fail the students for the sake of the curriculum and other students
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Bravo to Olwen Fouéré and Margo Harkin, who turned down honorary doctorates from the University of Galway over its ties to Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology which works closely with the apartheid state's "defense industries", key to its genocide of the Palestinian people.

FACT OF THE DAY. 8 November 1939. Adolf Hitler narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by Georg Elser (pictured). Hitler was making his annual speech at a Munich beer hall on the anniversary of the 1923 Munich Beer Hall Putsch but he left 13 minutes before the bomb exploded.

In Sweden this is what my generation grew up with. Of course we called them forests. We are a text book example of the shifting baseline syndrome.
We are constantly told by the media and authorities that these are both 'forest'.
One is a complex, diverse native ecosystem, full of life. The other is an industrial monoculture deadzone.
They could not be more different.

The US investigation into the shooting of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by an IDF soldier found it was not intentional.
But a retired US colonel who was part of the team that reviewed the scene shortly after the shooting says the evidence showed a soldier deliberately shot her.
