I am absolutely thrilled to discover this morning that my book, The Case that Stopped a Nation, has been shortlisted in the non-fiction section of the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards for 2022.

Yes.
Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking.
Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

ANU trying to avoid public scrutiny by pushing the media out of their restructure/job cut gatherings.
Dr Liz Allen@DrDemography
Attended ANU CASS town hall. Gutting. A bigger venue meant folks managed to get seats. More job cuts than expected. Union questioned about attendance. WIN local news were ushered out and AFR journo Julie Hare was escorted out of the building by Chancelry staff in front of all. 💔

Excessive, frivolous spending on non-core business led to financial mess at ANU, it appears. Why on earth a university with expertise out the wazoo needs $$ consultants is beyond me. Don’t even get me started on the lavish spending on + by executives. canberratimes.com.au/story/8954111/…

I wrote a book about a group of Parthian royalty who lived at the court of the Roman emperor in the first century CE. Today, finally, it is an object in the world.
You can read the open access PDF here and it would mean the world to me if you did!

Fun tariff fact of the week via @peteredwell on BBC Worldservice Newshour bbc.co.uk/programmes/w17… (at 30 minutes in): tariffs in Ancient Rome on luxuries like pepper & incense funded about 30% of Rome's military expenditures.

Frequently Roman inscriptions on stone and coins feature abbreviations intended to shorten the long titles of political offices. This readable shorthand for information was known as a SPQR code.

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad.
Which is also why you should share it.

An article I wrote for The Conversation about tariffs and Ancient Rome has just published.

Glad to be back at the Theban necropolis! This view from the mountain is endlessly fascinating and a special way to start each morning

Here’s an article about Rome’s inflation crisis that I just published in The Conversation. There were a lot of editorial changes so please be gentle!

@MichelleArrow1 When your salary is so enormous you actually think you’re a genius.

@drjpersian Yes, I just got mine too. If only it was paper - I’d have a good use for it.
