Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

NEW: I can't get this story out of my head. And I know I'm not alone. The attempt to cover up the complicity of the UK media's role in Jason Arday's death may be its sickest move yet. broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-jason-...

Just hit the “finalise” button and in doing so sent the final proofs back to the publisher. No turning back now. Feels less scary than I expected, more like that if any awkward phrasing or typos have slipped through, they’ll reinforce the fact that this is 100% human-written #AcademicSky #FirstBook

Why are academics using GenAI to write articles, grade assignments, compose emails and a lot of other tasks that they would/should otherwise be doing themselves? A brief summary of our anonymous survey of over 200 academics' 'grey uses' of GenAI ... researchwhisperer.org/2026/07/21/a...

Working in digital education for an Arts & Humanities Faculty, I'm often called upon to discuss what creative professions actually "do" about GenAI - and this is a very, very generous and comprehensive account of handling it in fiction. Recommended read.

I have a foolproof way to make sure that your papers contain absolutely no fake references . . . . . read the papers you cite.

Another first for me: have finished reviewing the manuscript of the book about digital education leadership that I’ve written with @albertsangra.bsky.social and today it goes off to layout! This is beginning to feel real!

J’ai très sincèrement encore du mal à réaliser ce que la France pourrait subir dès dimanche. Le pic de chaleur s’allonge et s’intensifie : c'est désormais mardi qui apparaît comme la journée la plus chaude de l’épisode. 1/4

If you see this and you are in a position to hire me to write your video game for a living wage you should really do that. Things are dire. I haven't gotten a paycheck for 8 months. I am really good at my job. I know this will apply to approximately zero of the 53,100 of you, but.

Happy May Day from Fidel Catstro and Frida Katlo! They won’t come if you call their names, but the will always come running when they hear The Internationale.😻 #MayDay

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸 We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto. The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

I always try to buy books directly from the publisher but what do you do when you live in France but not a single EU country appears in the drop down list despite @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social saying they ship worldwide?

NEW on Wonkhe: Jim Dickinson explores the growing evidence that AI isn't just changing what students produce – it's changing what their brains are ready to do, and asks whether HE can redesign itself around a question it has been avoiding for decades buff.ly/uHtisNU

If AI deepens inequality, disempowers people, or displaces civic participation, it is not delivering the future we want—no matter how advanced the technology may be, or how much money some individuals can make from it, writes Michael L. Bąk. buff.ly/jIps6RS

Critical studies of ed-tech are becoming increasingly popular ... but how can they be a useful force for change? New report outlines 8 main areas that the CSET community needs to get discussing! 🧵 bridges.monash.edu/articles/rep...

Good points about leadership mindsets, a whole-institution approach and ensuring that staff who work in the digital space have a seat at the table

This is one of the many reasons I love #academicsky as I really needed to come across something like this right now!

I was in Paris last week for the #AIActionSummit & was honoured to participate in the “AI in public interest” panel. 👇🏾 my thoughts & reflections on what AI in public interest is/isn’t & some concrete steps/initiatives for `bending the arc of AI towards the public interest' aial.ie/pages/aiparis/

Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines? Jevin West (@jevinwest.bsky.social) and I have spent the last eight months developing the course on large language models (LLMs) that we think every college freshman needs to take. thebullshitmachines.com

This is a good if terrifying summary of Trump’s war on science www.science.org/content/blog...

Wonderful piece of research just launched by EUA. Survey of staff development in teaching and learning across the European Higher Education area. shorturl.at/GcnRQ. Congrats to all and noting particularly input of Owen Jump and Katy Dineen @cirtl.bsky.social. #EduSky
