Ok Fabrice.
Le nouveau red flag téléphonique: "Bonjour, c'est Fabrice. Je vous rassure, ce n’est pas du tout un appel commercial."

Limite cet agriculteur est un terroriste parce qu'il a écrasé un œuf sur un faf.

Quand d'autres agriculteurs balancent du fumier partout et menacent de mort des agents et des écologistes, c'est une colère légitime.

C'est presque beau, ce niveau de double standard.

Lorsqu’il qualifie de «maladresse» l’adoption par des fonctionnaires de police de codes propres aux hooligans néonazis, le ministre macroniste de l’Intérieur participe évidemment à leur banalisation.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

Admin are continually pressuring us to make the course "more accessible," by which they mean "devastatingly easy to complete," but it's not about access. Many students refuse to read or write in any capacity that isn't tech-aided, no matter how simple the assignment, no matter how process-based.

At this point, our intro comp/first-year English course has been so heavily revised, it no longer includes a novel, or "extended reading" of any kind, no "specialized" or "historical" reading, mostly in-class assignments, no research essay...and we are still seeing a 40-50% rate of AI misconduct.

It's only a matter of time before humanities departments will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

The acclaimed writer Tom Stoppard has died, at 88. For the award-winning playwright, “art is a game within a game—the larger game being life itself,” Kenneth Tynan wrote, in 1977.

We shed as we pick up, like travelers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it.

How can we sleep for grief?

By counting our stock. Seven plays from Aeschylus, seven from Sophocles, nineteen from Euripides, my lady! You should no more grieve for the rest than for a buckle lost from your first shoe, or for your lesson book which will be lost when you are old.

As Stoppard wrote, and as I contemplate often: “I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.”

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

Curieusement, le ministre de l’Enseignement supérieur est beaucoup moins scandalisé par une descente de députés fafs sur un campus que par l’organisation d’un colloque sur la Palestine au Collège de France.

Le 17 novembre dernier, le collectif violent d'extrême droite "La Digue" a agressé des étudiants à Lorient. Ce genre d'attaque par des groupuscules néonazis se multiplie, selon l'aveu même de la DGSI. Le ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur doit réagir !
