Book review by the one and only Paula Fredriksen, reviewing Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts. One line that made my editor’s heart sing: “Each essay is a jewel of careful
exposition and of ethical reasoning.” www.sblcentral.org/home/bookDet...

I just want to tell a little story for you academics out there, especially the ones younger and more viral than I. I've published 3 books and an Element in my time, so I've been through that part of the process a lot. And here's something that happened already with my second book:

P (5yo) has been asking for weeks to try coleslaw. Going on and on about how good he thinks coleslaw will be. I should have been suspicious but what do I know. I love coleslaw.

Bought some cabbage, told him we could make it. He got all excited.

KULFI. He wanted to try kulfi.

Women becoming like men was a major element in ancient Christian monasticism

Christianity has long revered saints who would be called ‘transgender’ today

There are at least 34 documented stories of transgender saints’ lives, three of which had widespread popularity in medieval Europe.

It’s clear even from comparing the table of contents to what is in the review. There is no contextualisation of anything in the wider Greco-Roman world, eg — the thematic chapters are focused on contemporary pedagogical and scholarly contexts.

Maybe the fact that it completely fabricates the book’s contents and focus?

I can’t express how insulting and enraging it is to have the first “review” of a book I’m really proud of be AI-generated nonsense. Beware, the hallucinations in this “review” won’t give you an accurate preview of the book. tinyurl.com/AIGuySux

reminder: restricting student visas even more is morally wrong (because immigration is good), politically stupid (because the far right will not be appeased), and economically disastrous (because the HE sector and all that surrounds it needs international students)

Charlotte Lydia Riley @lottelydia.bsky.social · Apr 8

I can’t believe that even after so many people have patiently sat down and explained how university finances work, the government still thinks turning the big dial that says “ban international students” is a winning economic strategy

Glen O'Hara @gsoh31.bsky.social · Apr 8

The UK government is proposing to finally finish off its universities by further tightening the terms of the graduate visa route. The stupid fools. Playing with dangers they don't even understand. www.ft.com/content/f441...

Your annual reminder that the Last Supper was not a Passover seder, Jesus’ experience of Passover was fundamentally different from ours, and if your church does a seder that’s gross cultural appropriation.

In case you don’t already hate Google’s automatic AI generated answers at the top of every search, here is some baked-in antisemitism for you! “While Jewish” is doing a lot of work there…!

A black screen with the Google search, Is Gal Gadot a nepo baby. The AI overview reads: No, Gal Gadot is not considered a "nepo baby" (a child of a famous parent) because her parents, while Jewish, are not known for being actors or other celebrities in the entertainment industry.
