Slowly saying goodbye to this house. We had a lot of good times, but it’s lost its furry heart

In other news: went lake swimming twice today, in two different lakes, both 🌟

keeping this garden in a decent shape is a very sweaty business. I won't miss the insect gala that happens every time I cut the grass and trim the creeper

“Indeed, scientific publishing is starting to experience some Taylorism with the insertion of AI. Rigorous human checking of AI-generated research papers is creating bottlenecks as publishers strive to maintain the integrity of the scientific record.” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

AI in scientific publishing: Slower, worse, and more expensiveThere’s a saying in the management world, popularized by NASA administrator Daniel Goldin in the 1990s, that the goal of technological improvements is to make products faster, better, and cheaper. Alt...www.science.org

I’m viewing flats in Tampere trying to reconcile my volatile wishes, which switch on the same day from wanting a green quiet area near the forest to wanting to be close to the nice city spots like Kaleva (to say nothing of what I consider acceptable in terms of kitchen appliances). It’s so 1/2

My feed consists entirely of dark mythological motifs and it is not an accident 👾

It’s not the first time i come to the conclusion that fine dining is lost on me because everything tastes mostly super salty

You know whose accepted panel you will find on that list 😎 @sofiaruediger.bsky.social 'The pragmatics of online influence: Persuasion and authority in online coaching discourses' 🐦🐦

Submitted 📝 Very happy about this project, firstly, because I've been wanting to do a Twitter vs. BlueSky comparison for a long time, and secondly, because it's a collab with my brilliant MA student (who frankly could be a postdoc)

My Finnish language tutor assigned me a blog post by Johanna Isosävi to read as homework! (It is about quiet Finns and not politeness research per se, but still, I thought it's a great coincidence🙂)

ready to submit the second paper this year that uses BlueSky data! I really hope at least one of them comes out before this place burns under Toni Schneider, AI and all that

I like a lot of things about this paper, but one of its special features is that it’s from the future: published in December 2026 apparently 🙃 Great stuff from Paul Baker, as usual www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In the gardens of the Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwick, there’s a plaque that reads “Those returning from battlefields find comfort in growing.” I found comfort in meeting the Ural owl and its three screeching owlets in our forest where Belya used to run. They’re so fluffy and such absolute units

In the history of English textbooks 50 years on, we will be talking about 2 events: The great standardization of the printing press And the great de-standardization when everyone started trying to make weird mistakes on purpose so as not be be accused of LLM writing 🙃 #linguistics

Last day to submit 🔥

Excitedly watching a trickle of abstracts turn into a steady stream 👀👩‍💻🐙 CFP ends July 1! events.tuni.fi/persuasion20...
