Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

LLMs are nothing more than models of the distribution of the word forms in their training data, with weights modified by post-training to produce somewhat different distributions. Unless your use case requires a model of a distribution of word forms in text, indeed, they suck and aren't useful.

Academia already acting like the ethnic cleansing of gaza is complete. Shame on Leiden and Cambridge Uni press. Utterly disgusting.
I was just reminded by Facebook memories that I submitted my DPhil thesis for examination this day last year. I can’t believe that was already a year ago. Time flies 🫨
So this is at least the second horrific murder in the US within the last six months predicated on “speak English”.
Please keep this in mind as you interact with English-only movements. Language ideologies are not benign or apolitical.
when you stop reading "believe women" as "women never lie" and see it as "one of the foundational myths of patriarchy is that women can never be trusted" it makes a lot more sense.
Jonathan Rosa and I had the amazing opportunity to work with an undergraduate student and a high school student to "translate" our "Undoing Appropriateness" article for high school students. The final product is available for free here:

Abstract of my TESOL Quarterly article on rethinking Global Englishes and moving toward reparative redress for language-minoritised and racialised TESOL practitioners
Hello bsky, I just wanted to share my first publication from my PhD thesis: doi.org/10.1002/tesq...
This paper is an attempt at rethinking the Global Englishes paradigm and conceptualising a critical-ethical framework for addressing social injustices in TESOL and language education more broadly. 🙏
Omg…
Today marks my official first day as an Assistant Professor of Applied Linguistics (TESOL) at the School of Linguistic, Speech & Communication Sciences, Trinity College Dublin. Truly very grateful for this opportunity. I look forward to meeting my colleagues and students in the new academic year 💕
I had the most wonderful and meaningful time at AAAL. Reconnected with old friends and made new ones. Listening to the many people who do amazing work within their respective communities makes me truly feel hopeful about our capabilities as applied linguists to help make this world a better place. 💕
Btw I was at the CIES Conf in Miami. Made new friends & connections. But if CIES doesn't take its commitment to education seriously - this year's theme is the Power of Protest - then I see no reason to be part of their society. Not even a solidary statement on the ongoing violence in Gaza & Israel.
