Going to check out this incredible offer now

Interesting coordination I encountered today #🗣️💬 #syntax #examplesentencesfromthewild

Jack Smith’s cucumberesque demeanor is the ice I want to see more of ❄️🧊

Best headline I’ve seen in a while

I bet you somewhere someone’s trying to use LLMs to find Gödel’s loophole

This says a lot about the role of Deans in American academia. The job is to shill someone else’s agenda, not to demonstrate respectable leadership

Empirical question: what number makes us count ICE facilities as “death camps”? www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The moment has arrived when I urgently need #linguisticssky to come through. Let’s figure out what went wrong here. #linguistics #🗣️💬 👂🏻👀 Serious discussion and dunks welcome

“Why don’t you publish your research in Nature? That’s a good journal, isn’t it?” -your neighbor’s uncle Meanwhile, @springernature.com is barely looking up from its bong

When did @nature.com start hosting predatory humanities journals?

Most vindicated person in modern history

No one: Stephen Miller: I have a right to own Greenland Historians, maybe?: *mumble mumble* appeasement *mumble mumble* www.axios.com/2026/01/06/s...

Hey hive mind, is there a theoretical upper limit to how much you can multiplex on a single signal? Urgent.

Urgent advice I heard today for Americans: “put a trans girl on your couch, immediately” I don’t *think* I know any t girls facing homelessness, but I am going to think damn hard about it. And maybe you do know someone in a crunch? #itcouldhappenhere

The invidious Nord be at it again

Nerd tip: if you just gloss “Thule” as “North Pole”, you’ll save yourself the hassle of explaining what Thule means

“1 - the manuscript should be edited to be much shorter 2 - the authors should state their research questions in a way that can be tested with their methods 3 - they should employ modern statistics in their analysis of their data 4 - their conclusions should be supported by their results” Ok, thanks

This is not what I thought the ai bubble’s end would look like

Google AI telling me I should just use Safari instead #aioverview

Inkhorn - acorn - eggcorn Is a strong candidate for most irritating triplet ever

What’s your favorite leafy green? Rocket. Rock what? No, like arugula. Yeah but WHICH rugula?

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Just saw video of ICE posted in a forum completely unrelated to their mission. I’m not sure where on the creeping fasch barometer that it, but it feels like the kinda thing that demarcates a new phase or degree of normalness

Pre-plan your best salacious remarks in the comments #bondi

The media on climate change and global warming did not prepare me for so many headlines about ice

Why does this have to exist?

@edzitron.com please can you look into adoption of AI in “rest of world”? I feel like one of the main LLM use cases that is actually holding up is people pretending to know languages they don’t know

As a clade, fish include all of the largest animals and none of the most poisonous ones #science #taxonomy #🐟🐠🐡🍤

Which level of prosodic domain boundary does semicolon indicate? Because if it’s the colon I’m gonna be mad as hell. #lingsky

Rouet pre-match "I'm not worried about New Zealand" to Pelletier post-match "It's just fun to play rugby". Canada don't give a shit about anything but balling and it's incredible.

What a show from Canada!

So the US is now involved in supporting BOTH sides of the war in Ukraine? Hmm www.reuters.com/world/europe...

As a society, the one thing we were totally unprepared for was annoying leftists being right.

Watching the #RWC2025 and the match commentator just said something was “like Belgian karate” and I’m so confused. What could that possibly mean?

Who pooped in the Kleenex? Fess up!

I found a dead bat today

I filmed a giraffe dick today

“I’m so anti-rape that even ‘ratepayers’ is uncomfortable to say” #awkwardphonologyjokes #placeassimilation #coda

Oh look, a book! global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Holy shit. ICE is offering agents cash bonuses for arresting immigrants? No wonder they aren’t following procedures - they are incentivized not to.

It’s actually short for HUMANsplaining, just so you know

I need the right one to win and it’s not

Guys Alex makes amazing things for us to enjoy

Someday for my next (next?) book imma hire a research assistant to comb through vids of my toddler looking for examples of his speech, and I fully intend to use this as an opportunity to challenge the record of cute to time on clock to pay #clickacquisition #linguistics #phonology #clicks

Humphrey’s Executor? I hardly even know’or!
