Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

This raises a very real question about how we talk about AI. To call this slop is to downplay the fact that it was published in an esteemed journal. We used to call such things fraud, but this suggests the publisher is innocent. AI has changed the terms of debate. We urgently need new norms.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Finally, a metric that favours the humanities!
Love it: this article argues tongue-in-cheek for a new metric that combines the weight of a researcher's published books divided by the number of years since their doctorate.
It is normalised: "A kilogram of philosophy weighs the same as a kilogram of physics."

Science has become obsessed with publishing numbers. With this new satirical proposal, have we reached peak metric?

It's hard to believe self help books are brimming with wisdom when they all have titles like "Girboss the fuck out of this shit!" "Your life is a fucking mess" and "The subtle art of being a cunt"

I cringe every time someone says "librarians should run the world!" like they're a whimsical moral caste of people instead of just people in a regular job, and who may think your cutesy praise is patronizing, actually.

darkly funny that the first movie personally greenlit by trump is about a guy who would be barred from entering the country and a cop who would be fired in an anti-DEI purge.
‘Rush Hour 4’ is officially in the works.
This comes after Donald Trump personally requested Paramount to revive the franchise.

On more than one occassion I have used Skyfeed builder as an advanced search tool. It's good for tracking down posts when you don't remember the exact phrase but you remember a few words you can put into a simple regex. It can also retrieve from people's reposts, not just original posts.
