Thank you, Arash Abizadeh for your kind words! OLH is academic owned & not for profit We have shown that there are alternatives to the commercialisation of scholarly publishing; OLH has been flipping subscription journals to not-for-profit #diamondOA since 2015 🙌 shorturl.at/aOazN

Academic journals are a lucrative scam – and we’re determined to change that | Arash Abizadehshorturl.at Giant publishers are bleeding universities dry, with profit margins that rival Google’s. So we decided to start our own, says academic Arash Abizadeh

cool! very happy to hear that work has sparked these thoughts! seems to me every name maybe does something like this? even "Commander" i suppose, but there whatever microideology is coming out says something very questionable about the person who named this dog (Biden)

strongly disbelieve in the power of machine learning / "AI" to do anything but make life more boring

who names their dog "Commander"????????? wtf

I also like these papers sometimes because they give some highly implausible universal principle and immediately say "well it doesn't account for ABC & D" but it does show what is going on in all of literature .. like .. guys?

Bonevac tf, I knew he had gone sour but this is SOUR

Two professors at UT Austin, John Hatfield and Daniel Bonevac, are suing for the right to penalize their students who miss class because they are obtaining an abortion out-of-state. media.aflegal.org/wp-content/u...

again a plea for suggestions on publishers for a short book on a new strategy for literature/art, which also uses techniques from semantics/pragmatics and so is a little technical! please share if you can

book proposal fell at the post AGAIN, so frustrating

these people are like sopranos but more basic
