@sam_berstler @m_j_hannon 💯

@m_j_hannon @emichaelson2 Knowing Eliot, he means both!

If anyone else interested in philosophy of language is still lurking in this cesspool, here you go: philevents.org/event/show/132…

@MattNoahSmith They’re called Range Rovers here. Same basic function.

Here in London there are no giant F150s or their ilk driven by macho bastards who seem to revel in terrifying pedestrians and cyclists.

Cheryl, why in the world did you divorce Larry David and marry this guy?

Keep wondering when Biden is going to come out and say ‘I would have won’. The suspense is killing me.

@NoamChompers @larkofadefinite You guys just want trigger warnings on everything these days don’t you?

@larkofadefinite LOL

Twitter has been really insistent about showing me ads for a particular school I interviewed for a TT position at a year and a half ago

@DruckerDaniel Because most of you aren’t related to Fodor’s granny?

why dont more papers have fodor-style granny-like "characters" in them?

@NoamChompers Just wisely hobbling the competition.

@emichaelson2 bit of a shame for the authors of the papers i already accepted requests for though lol

i am but a humble academic, but in my view, abruptly locking outgoing postdocs out of their university email addresses with no notice is actually not a good system

If you want to know where all the cool kids will be at the end of September, it definitely won’t be here: philevents.org/event/show/119…. But if you want to come and talk about the philosophy of language, this is the place.

@NoamChompers This is clearly optional for Zoom interviews. Get with the times!

1. WEAR PANTS. search committees find it unprofessional if you show up naked from the waist down, so definitely throw on a pair of pants. this goes for interviews AND job talks btw (2/n)

okay y'all, i know we're all prepping for the job market right now, so here's a thread of some tips that have worked for me. follow these simple tips and you too will sail through just like i did🧵 (1/n)

@Lzucca Subject, not citizen. There are no citizens here.

Becoming a citizen today 🇬🇧🇮🇹

@LedermanHarvey @schafer_karl Just think of all the people you don’t want to have reviewing your papers and then remind yourself ‘Hey, chances are they’re not!’

@schafer_karl glad someone has a positive spin on it. im not feeling as warm as you are

@EliseWoodard20 Oh boy! It’s time for us to introduce the pessimistic induction.

@danielwharris @larkofadefinite @kennethblackphi Ah the context sensitivity of ‘context sensitivity’.

@ProfSteveFuller Thanks! That’s one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about my work!

I just read this paper, which could have been written 50-75 years ago, if not longer. Of course, the references would have been different, but the content largely the same. It's a testimony to academics' reading habits and their need to score points among contemporaries.

What’s the proper function of language? Let’s find out: doi.org/10.1080/002017…

A short history of the Conservative Party backing the mob

@LedermanHarvey Messy, messy sandwiches.

Wondering how to actually go about doing that ‘non-ideal philosophy of language’ thing you keep hearing about? I have some thoughts: doi.org/10.1093/analys…
