    Fury! This kind of AI-generated sentence is flooding academic writing: &amp;quot;This case is not merely xxx. It is a site where yyy.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;This is not simply xxx. It is about yyy&amp;quot;. I think what makes me furious is the reductive straw figure of &amp;quot;not merely&amp;quot;. Whoever said it was &amp;quot;merely xxx&amp;quot; in the first place? Surely not our fellow academics? But we suggest that they are all idiots, narrow thinkers, reductionists. There are epistemologie...

    We&amp;#39;re online! We&amp;#39;ve been thinking about design and education: &amp;quot;Which designs design which worlds? Whose designs are we talking about?

    Well, I never thought I&amp;#39;d write an article about defence, or with &amp;quot;military&amp;quot; in the title. Who said only military officers can deal with uncertainty? On the importance of uncertainty in edtech data visualisations. With @juliane Not #openaccess (they wanted over 4000 EUR, &amp;quot;scandalous&amp;quot;, said my library), but some copies here and a preprint is on its way. https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/RGATIGJRXCMIUBCJAT8I/full?target=10.1080/01596306.2025.24673...
