Stephen Royle<p>Academic hyperbole:</p><p>When did "cutting edge" become "bleeding edge”? Why is “state-of-the-art” no longer sufficient so that we must now be working “beyond state-of-the-art”. Don’t forget that we can no longer be "world leading”, we must be "world beating”. Makes me wonder what's next?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hyperbole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hyperbole</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheseGoTo11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheseGoTo11</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EmptyWords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmptyWords</span></a></p>
DB 🌱💦<p>As I get older I find I have less and less tolerance for performative inauthentic behaviour, people saying and doing things just to show others how nice and kind they are, without it costing them anything at all.</p><p>“Performative behaviour is defined as an action taken specifically with an audience in mind, to elicit a response or reaction. In other words, it’s living for the likes. Only doing things so people notice you're doing them.”</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EmptyWords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmptyWords</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EmptyActions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmptyActions</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FakeEmotions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FakeEmotions</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/VirtueSignalling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VirtueSignalling</span></a></p>
