What's that called, when you feel less and less motivated to dive into your bigger and bigger email inbox (knowing what terrors lie within)? #academicChatter

Pro tip: don't give the office next to the elevators to the faculty member who no one has seen on campus for the better part of a decade. And, if the movers just dumped his stuff in the middle of the office, say in 2018, it's not too late to have someone put it away or at least hang a curtain over the window from the hall.

Anyone know of good articles on solipsism in games, especially with regards to game engine design and level design? Feels so obvious someone must have written on this before but Google scholar is not coming up with a lot.

Today I met with a student who will visit my lab in a few weeks, and students are just the best! 🤩 One such meeting makes the whole week worthwhile #academicChatter

FYI, there's still time to register for this Thursday's #DefendResearch webinar with
PEN America
to learn about what's going on with academic #censorship and what we can do about it

I'm worried that if I don't come up with some batshit or vaguely antisocial behavior quick, they're going to make me take on more consequential admin work. The bar for appointment as chair really is wildly low.

One time a student* told me if I didn’t correct his homework and let him write the exam, I would hear from his dad’s lawyers. - But that’s not a threat, he’s just informing me
* _exmatriculated_ student, who had already failed out of the program

Bei kleinen Inkonsistenzen bei den Literaturverzeichnissen/Referenzen, würdet ihr inzwischen direkt mit Betrugsversuch durchfallen lassen? (Titel und Journal passen nicht zusammen, Jahreszahl im Text und im Verz. ist unterschiedlich, etc.)
Oder bin ich zu empfindlich weil ich schon zuviel Slop lesen musste? #academicChatter #lehre #hausarbeiten

I was on vacation the last two and a half weeks and I did NOT do any work, not even a little bit, for 14 days. Not finishing a paper, not grading, no grant applications, no reviews. This is what it was like and it was glorious. Special thanks to my parents-in-law for the all-inclusive pampering #academicChatter #break

I very briefly feared that the number of printed exams wouldn’t suffice 😱 But it turns out German students are reliable when it comes to not showing up for exams phew
And only 1 copy printed in vain! 🌱 #academicchatter
