Thatcher sold the North Sea oil fields & in return we got a broken Britain & 171 billionaires. Norway kept their much smaller oil fields & today have the biggest sovereign wealth fund in the world $1.4 trillion. But yeah, it's socialists that run out of other people's money.

Universities will be like “I know we have a preferred internal candidate, but wouldn’t it be funny if we got 450 people’s hopes up?”

In Geelong at the Deakin University Waterfront campus. It’s been 24 years since I left this building. It’s very strange to be back.

Thank you @qatarairways for making it so easy to do something nice for my partner and spend some extra money with you. That was sarcasm by the way. Needless to say, it was a horrible experience working with your telephone person.

The college supports the proposal to rename the English Department the “Tortured Poets Department” but only after we institute more torture - starting with the forms requesting a department name change.

We never eliminate departments. Some departments go extinct because they can’t adapt.

You don't *need* any videos. Asynch is an opportunity to think: what activities, done over more time, would benefit my students. How does this format allow me & their peers to engage differently with their thinking. Point them at existing content & then focus on designing tasks.

Thanks! Was trying to think about how many videos I need…that’s the really new part of this for me.

I’m demo’ing the audio capture of ChattyG to someone and it types it out in Welsh. I try speaking again and again Welsh. Finally I typed in English, why are you speaking to me in Welsh. It says ‘You started it’. I respond with ‘I didn’t’. ‘Oh you’re right, I’m so sorry’. Love AI. – at Melbourne, Victoria
