Honestly one of my favorite parts of the Yiddish children's book about the dog who wants to bite every cop is the fact that, at any given moment, the narrator just has no idea where the little dog could be. He's a dog folks, who knows what he's even doing right now, surely not me

Totally off the topic of the pending apocalypse... I realize two important traits about myself: 1. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to certain things. 2. I spend WAY TOO MUCH time giggling at my jokes.

This is SO important. We have to make arguments clear and concise for the public. Save the caveats and asterisks for the colloquium. And yes, your colleagues might call you unserious and be mean to you about it; remember no one is listening to them.

There's been a lot of work on "culture" in NLP, but not much agreement on what it is. A position paper by me, @dbamman.bsky.social, and @ibleaman.bsky.social on cultural NLP: what we want, what we have, and how sociocultural linguistics can clarify things. Website: naitian.org/culture-not-... 1/n

Just cuz everyone KNOWS there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, that doesn’t make the pot of gold real. Just cuz everyone KNOWS “standard language” promises a pot of gold too, that doesn’t make standard language real. Leprechauns, unicorns, and standard language don’t exist.

If I had a dead lover whom I wished to treat with respect but also ensure that a ninja clan could not resurrect them as a dark messiah, I would simply think about every vampire or zombie story I’d ever read, or take the briefest look into Buddhist burial customs, and then BURN THE DAMN BODY.
