I started watching yesterday and could not stop before binging all 5 episodes. This is a mesmerizing account of journalism, activism and the rapid rise of fascism in Russia. Relevant for absolutely everyone in our current global landscape. Highly recommended.

thinking about the time I referred to myself as a Latinist and some random guy came in with 'actually the term is latina' and anyway that's when I deleted my mastodon account

OK, I'm obsessed with this study in @science.org It took Reddit "Am I The Asshole" posts & asked LLMs if the poster was the asshole. Aaand (surprise) AI was more likely to tell people they were NOT the asshole ... even when humans said yeah YTA 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This book is going to be incredible + open up an entire new field of research/inquiry for the literary & cultural studies discipline (grad students take note!). It models an entire new form of cultural criticism that combines close reading + historicism + theory + platform studies. Read her thread!

The notion of "correct" and "incorrect" language stems from classism and racism (and is in many cases still fueled by it). 🐦🐦

We do not know when language evolved

Halfway through @mttpsq.bsky.social ‘s The eye of the master. What a great perspective to the history of AI in light of the knowledge theory of labor and the origins of industrialization. The book is also a good read, thoroughly enjoyable on a lazy Sunday. Highly recommended (so far :)

‘An abuser does not just have a network. An abuser is a network. Kate also said, “they have each other’s backs.” When they have each other’s backs, their backs become doors’. Powerful from Sara Ahmed. Warming; discussion of abuse and s*xual violence open.substack.com/pub/feminist...

It’s not just biased—generative AI is importing old stereotypes into new languages and cultures. My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ai-bia...

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women Unreal www.science.org/content/arti...

One of my favorite podcasts, In bed with the Right, has started a new series following the events of 1933 and Hitler’s takeover month by month. An enlightening and sobering account. Highly recommended!

So, @elsevierconnect.bsky.social added an AI question and answer to my article in Computer & Education. The answers are wrong! They did not ask permission! The answers are WRONG! How is this science?!

I’m late to this party, but I’m losing my mind with Malala’s cameo at ‘We are lady parts’ 😍

New review of my book "Postcolonial People. The Return from Africa and the Remaking of Portugal" by Sofie De Baere. It comes with some well-deserved criticism and much praise, e.g.: "Kalter possesses the invaluable skill of making complex processes comprehensible." brill.com/view/journal...

Hace un par de días encontré este artículo (en noruego). Habla sobre el próximo cierre de una empresa de #traducción que ha dejado de ser viable porque sus clientes han decidido ahorrar mediante el uso de IA. www.kode24.no/artikkel/ai-...

In our new chapter “Discourse: A map in constant redrawing” (coming out in Flubacher & Del Percio’s “Critical Sociolinguistics.

Back at it. How did this thing work again? Very happy to see familiar names from sociolinguistic twitter :) If you don’t know me, I’m a critical sociolinguist interested in language, multilingualism & migration in education and work. My research is based in Norway and Argentina. Let’s chat!

Norway is working hard to defossiliate!🦕We started with the most important issues, renaming government agencies working with oil and gas: "Ministry of oil and energy" = "Ministry of energy". "Norwegian Petroleum Directorate" = "Norwegian Offshore Directorate". Fixed it! ✅ www.nrk.no/stor-oslo/re...

Avsløringene i NTNU saken fremstår som veldig alvorlige. Det er ikke overraskende at rektoren går av etter å ha lest meldingene hun utvekslet med NHO ledelse. Det er interessant hvordan «sunn ytringskultur» brukes for å diskvalifisere faglig kritikk. www.vg.no/nyheter/inne...

Question about #TESOL research, ideally adult education: can you point me towards research on multilingual Tesol and / or multilingualism and Tesol scholarship? Thanks 🙏

The bunny paper!!!

OH MY GOD WE'RE TWO AWAY

Historians: why oh why do you refer to literature in a two-step process?? An endnote in the text leads to an incomplete reference at the end of the book/chapter that needs to be searched for in the Bibliography to get a proper title and publication year. You’re killing me!

Finally got a copy.
