@katiedimartin is this a U2 album

@joshraclaw I saw the fabled "mask on the nose but off the mouth" on the train the other day. A truly remarkable specimen

@psejenks Thanks so much! No, I’m staying in Cambridge; they have a Boston office.

Excited to announce I'm starting a user research position at Spotify, working on personalization, recommendations, and voice control. Day one as a non-academic feels weird to say the least, but I'm looking forward to a new chapter learning cool stuff about how we listen to music!

@m_faytak @duane_g_watson I remember these flyers being distributed in some Cal undergrad class!! In the LeConte lecture hall all the intro ling classes were in

@nbbaier Only 1/3 was declared wrong! The rest was in some middle state where we disagree over what semantics is supposed to be.

@JoshMartinLing Which two thirds are wrong? (Also, congrats!)

The name change is official: I successfully defended my dissertation - “Compositional routes to (non)intersectivity” - yesterday! Reviewers (aka Gennaro) call it “deeply unsettling” and “1/3 right”, which is all the praise I could ever ask for.

@ZahraMirrazi I recommend simply not doing this. Hope that helps!

If you're defending your dissertation soon I highly recommend forgetting how time works, so you can experience the high of realizing you have 3 weeks til the defense instead of 2 like you thought.

@AnyDs Jon Sprouse actually JUST gave a colloquium talk at Harvard where his team tested this (among others) - dunno if there's a paper out or anything but definitely the conclusion was it's a bad test

@wavyphd Is something only a novel if it was meant to be? Someone may have done this accidentally already just by writing a series of real journal article abstracts

We've got novels in the form of letters, diary entries, secret notes, etc. But has anyone written a novel in the form of a series of journal article abstracts whose findings gradually reveal a more and more insane reality?

@katiedimartin queer is short for queerky

@patrickdelliott Is tech under "alt-academia" for you?

@lingdustin it simply does not

@katiedimartin dm for venmo

@katiedimartin In my SALT talk Q&A, the first person asked 3 consecutive incoherent questions, the last of which was "by the way, are you crying?" Reader, I was not.

@Etyma1010 @complingy This tweet is how I learned that "on accident" isn't the universal default way to say this (mid-20s, west coast English)

"Pat, you were muted on accident?" Heard last Friday am at Provost's meeting. Until now, I thought use of 'on' with accident was particular to my 11 yo & her friends. COCA has 137 tokens of 'on accident', 3347 tokens of 'by accident'. Thoughts @complingy ?

@YuhanZhang_ My default assumption is that *any* publisher emailing you to offer that is suspicious; never really seen a counterexample

What do people think about Generis Publishing? I've received several emails from them asking if a working project can be published there. Feeling a little flattered but deeply suspicious.🙄

@katiedimartin Is the semantics situation a sad coincidence, or do you like semantic topics less and less as you learn more about them?

@NinaStrohminger This is a kinda intuitive but also kinda fascinating conclusion because, presumably (??), judgments of personhood *for humans* don't correlate with judgments of their moral character. Villains are still 100% people... right?
