@hlntnr.bsky.social is right – it has been exaggerated how much of a let-down GPT-5 was. If you have been in the field for 10 years you know that everything has pretty much been an incremental improvement #academsky #gpt5

The true peer review signature:
“Overall, this is a great study, but the authors forgot to relate it to previous literature (Reviewer et al. 2008, 2013a, 2013b, 2015, 2018, 2021, 2022).” 🙃

Do you ever sign a peer review? I reviewed a paper last night and the journal have the option to sign the review. I almost did but then decided against it. #NeuroSkyence

Historians have started referring to the period in the 16th century as the Italian Renaissance, to avoid confusion

Stop blaming professor salaries for the skyrocketing cost of college and unmanageable student loan debt! #Academsky
The University of Texas will waste $325,000 of public money on a speechwriter for the President.

Anyone on here working on theories of Global Capitalism, World System Theory or Neo-Gramscian theories? Looking for the IPE angle and a post-colonial perspective but no must. #Followerpower #academsky

I'd love to know how you managed it, & mostly I'd love to know that it's possible. Every day feels like an exercise in trying not to drown in despair.

Maybe I need to convert all large references (at the very least) to links rather than uploaded attachments, but I was hoping that would make it easier to use across my devices since I'm working off both a laptop and desktop. I'd be grateful for any suggestions, #academsky, #academia, #academic

who knew that the oral candidacy exam willies were described in China in the 17th century
![Pu Songling, a Qing dynasty satirist, described the "seven transformations of the candidate":
When he first enters the examination compound and walks along, panting under his heavy load of luggage, he is just like a beggar. Next, while undergoing the personal body search and being scolded by the clerks and shouted at by the soldiers, he is just like a prisoner. When he finally enters his cell and, along with the other candidates, stretches his neck to peer out, he is just like the larva of a bee. When the examination is finished at last and he leaves, his mind in a haze and his legs tottering, he is just like a sick bird that has been released from a cage. While he is wondering when the results will be announced and waiting to learn whether he passed or failed, so nervous that he is startled even by the rustling of the trees and the grass and is unable to sit or stand still, his restlessness is like that of a monkey on a leash. When at last the results are announced and he has definitely failed, he loses his vitality like one dead, rolls over on his side, and lies there without moving, like a poisoned fly. Then, when he pulls himself together and stands up, he is provoked by every sight and sound, gradually flings away everything within his reach, and complains of the illiteracy of the examiners. When he calms down at last, he finds everything in the room broken. At this time he is like a pigeon smashing its own precious eggs. These are the seven transformations of a candidate.[123]
— Pu Songling (1640–1715), who never passed the provincial examination](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:anrpcemiqwbb3j4rh7pt5t2x/bafkreidzl7gozpoyvufflzb2suqofvhj2f3ai2gdlh3b6q2tzo22mjpi5e@jpeg)

Let’s see how large the IPE community is on here by now! Any must reads on South Africa from an International Political Economy perspective? Especially with regards to voices from the global South and/or dependency or neo-gramscian theory? Ain’t no shame in self-promotion! 🙏 #Academsky
