       @Gelatinousrube @arzachel Did you see that his resignation statement was “100% AI”? It’s hilarious: almost wonder what they're using it (and FIFA) to hide.

       @Gelatinousrube @arzachel Very convincing all of it.

       @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @Gelatinousrube @arzachel There’s more and it’s beautiful Tribulations piled up throughout his life. Arday is nearly deaf in one ear; he’s dyslexic; he finds simple math befuddling; he has “marked difficulties” with memory, reading, and processing skills. As a teen, he was beaten so severely by a group of kids his age that he became an epileptic. To make his way through secondary school while—by his own account—illiterate, he needed ample help: support assistants who sat beside him in class and took notes on his behalf.When Arday applied to university, his girlfriend, Debs—who had been teaching him to read—“wrote out” the application on his behalf, including the personal statement. In university, a friend who took the same courses sat beside him, sharing notes. (She’s “the only reason I survived” university, he says.) By the time Arday started on his master’s degree, he writes, he was reading at about the same level as his 3-year-old daughter. Still, he pressed onward. Still, somehow, he got a teaching job.His obstacles were only multiplying, though. Money was tight, so after each day of teaching, Arday writes, he had to work an overnight shift in a supermarket, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., and then a morning shift as a cleaner from 5:30 to 7:30. The only time he had left to write his dissertation was when he was commuting between London, where he lived, and Liverpool, where he taught. On those semiweekly five-hour rides, the book explains, he would open up his laptop on the plastic seat-back table and start typing out his thesis, hunt-and-peck style.https://archive.ph/SA5Gc#

       @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @LadyMont @arzachel Fucking hell indeed! I've heard people read out some of his typos in his published papers. Also I have heard that he supposedly ran 600 miles in 6 days and some of those were on a broken leg. I really hope they find some people who know his actual history, I am curious.

       @Gelatinousrube @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @LadyMont @arzachel I’m finding more amusement on these Arday “revelations”. Very funny.

       @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @Gelatinousrube @LadyMont @arzachel We had a guy fake an engineering degree at work. He was a “minority”. He got fired.  I can’t believe he was hired.

       @LadyMont @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @virvallis @arzachel We're hiring southeast Asians on tech H-1B visas for the sake of exploiting them and pricing out American workers. Different but I feel you

       @virvallis @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @LadyMont @arzachel I'll be honest and say sometimes I feel a little sorry for serial fabulists because it seems very lonely in a way. But this guy is like pants-on-head-crazy levels

       @Gelatinousrube @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @LadyMont @arzachel He’s probably good at “improv”. He could teach improv classes.
