Academics will have a 2 hour conversation about how busy they both are that ends in them agreeing to co-write something new

Watching a cheesy movie where the hot young neighbour gifts Jennifer Lopez a first edition of her favourite book...The Iliad.
A first edition. Of The Iliad. He found it in a garage sale.

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI).
I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.
Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.
I open my original photo.
No bra showing.
I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...
Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨
Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)
He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.
He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.
She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.
AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

Academia is held together by caffeine, free labour, and the two people who nod encouragingly during presentations

academia is so brutal to ECRs. my current job ends this month & my email is vanishing that same day, which is causing havoc with the journal portals where Ive got articles submitted / accepted / in production. mayb Im naive, but is it rlly that hard to give us a few months grace?

Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at “Downing” (@DarwinCollege) Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that you’re not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the @spectator libido section.
