Alex Segura@alexsegura.com · 2w agoWe are seeing an increased ICE presence in NYC - making it imperative that NYers KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. I wrote a comic with @mayor.nyc.gov @nycimmigrants.bsky.social @davidhahn.bsky.social @elllewrightart.bsky.social @tayloresposito.bsky.social to do that! DOWNLOAD: www.weteachnyc.org/resources/co...

Another instance of Cot/Caught Merger trouble in the @nytimes.com crossword puzzle today! I've been seeing a lot of bewildered forum comments asking why this is the answer. #linguistics #NYTCrossword [SPOILER BELOW for just the one clue] . . . . . . . .
Has anyone written a response to textbook reps cold-emailing about AI products? I kind of want to respond to let them know I'm not at all interested, just in case they start to care what professors want, but if I start writing one I'll spend way more time and energy on it than it warrants. #academia
Managing to catch a few sessions of the Le Réseau Français de Phonologie while I’m here in Paris! Currently in @coollinguist.bsky.social’s super interesting talk on documenting phonologies in remote and endangered languages. #linguistics

Radical, A Journal of Phonology@radical-phonology.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis morning, we uploaded 20 papers all at once! Why? Because these 20 contributions are a tribute to J. Brandão de Carvalho, who received the present earlier today at #RFP. For some #AlignmentTheory, #diachrony, #romanistics, #iberics, #markedness, #representations... there you go ➡️ radical.cnrs.fr
I keep googling "42C in F" because I must be misremembering that it's 107.6, right? RIGHT?
Why is college important? Because I'm arguing 10th century theology about whether machines are sentient, 18th century science about microbes existing, 15th century colonial politics about who counts as human, and 21st century biology about why eugenics and gender essentialism are bad.

I'm pretty sure I've never lived through these temperatures in the US, where basically everything is air conditioned, let along in France where AC is shunned. Please send help/cold vibes!
I'm very happy to be visiting my sister in France, but I have to admit that I'm having a little FOMO at missing how happy, fun, and energized NYC has been recently!
I'm in France, hearing the whole town go absolutely wild for a game being played at home in NY/NJ! Allez les Bleus, I guess!
Poll question for anyone who's taught Intro Phonetics: Introduce vowels first or consonants first? Feel free to explain your answer. Or not. #linguistics #phonetics
"unusual deal" for "treasonous criminal action" for #woty2026 euphemism of the year? #linguistics @americandialect.org
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt’s bullshit for the Washington Post to call this looting of the Treasury a “deal“ and an “agreement.” The Trump regime is self-dealing to create an agreement between Trump and Trump, with no judge allowed to weigh in. It’s a dictator stealing from the people.
@jtillman.bsky.social I was just listening to an old @vocalfriespod.bsky.social episode that I'm using in a class, and at the end they did a shout out to their new Patreon supporter Joel Tillman. Hi!
I keep reading "Fool's Passover" on my calendar for Wednesday and imagining what that would be. What do you all think? Wrong answers only. #FoolsPassover #LetsGetItTrending
The USPS IS NOT LOSING MONEY. THE USPS IS SPENDING TAX DOLLARS ALLOCATED TO IT BY THE BUDGET. THE USPS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO ZERO OUT ITS BALANCE SHEET IT IS NOT A BUSINESS IT DOES NOT HAVE SHAREHOLDERS. IF THE USPS IS OUTSPENDING ITS BUDGET IT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED MORE BUDGET.
Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist@nameshiv.bsky.social · 5mo ago"did you know the USPS is losing money" no I didn't know and I still don't care do you know how much money your president has lost you since January
When people use language, we are not engaged in the activity of simply "creating output" in the form of text. We are using it to communicate ideas, to other people. >>
So far in 2026, I’ve replied Stop/End to 37 random political texts asking me for money. It’s making me almost regret having contributed to past campaigns. There’s no way to stop these coming, right?
Just got an email notification that Google Cloud is adding (default opted-in, of course 🙄) an "OpenTelemetry (OTel) ingestion API" - and I think that the choice of the word "ingestion" is revolting and also extremely descriptively accurate. AI is literally consuming us.

There’s a video of another ICE murder, either make sure your media settings are right, get off for a while, or be ready.
My doctor, the equipment supplier, and the manufacturer tell me to change my CPAP mask cushion every 2 weeks for safe and effective therapy. Insurance will give me *1* per 6 MONTHS. No one at any part of the process can do anything about it. Our health system is so broken and I feel so defeated.
@berniew.bsky.social as the emcee of NYC's mayoral inauguration is a perfect choice! 💟 🚋
