Don’t choose PhD programs by rankings—they may not be a good fit for you (& everyone applies there!) Instead, focus on potential advisors. How to find them? 1. Pick your top 20-40 favorite papers 2. Find the authors in academic positions 3. Apply to their schools Good luck!🍀
Dear MAGA, friends & family. RFK Jr. wants to immediately stop the development of new drugs for cancer, Alzheimers & other illnesses for eight years. Hope your family stays healthy. Is this what you signed up for when you voted?
The DoD linked Trump’s Defense Sec to extremists. 9 tribal security chiefs banned his Homeland Security chief from their homeland. Attorneys suspended the next AG’s law license & investigated him for sex crimes The anti-DEI folk sure like white affirmative action diversity hires
I hate to put a lot of highly paid pundits out of business, but look at this f**king graph
BREAKING: The Republican National Convention just announced their keynote speaker for tonight. It’s Project 2025’s lead author, Tom Homan. Make no mistake, Donald Trump’s Administration will implement Project 2025. Retweet so all Americans see this.https://t.co/yX2m1wFVZc
Kudos to the @PhillyInquirer editorial board for taking the media to the woodshed: "Apparently, it’s OK for Trump to spew nonstop nonsense, but Biden can’t ever lose his train of thought." inquirer.com/opinion/editor…

The lingering focus on Biden’s shaky debate obscures Trump’s major verbal miscues | Editorial
The president must now convince voters he has the mental acuity to do the toughest job in the world. The same bar does not exist for Trump, who loses no points for incoherence or incompetence.
All three of the guys behind Project 2025 worked in the White House for Trump when he was president.
My PhD student is running a research study evaluating the quality of automatically-generated code comments. We're looking for participants to judge a number of #Python #comments on several quality measures. For more info & to participate: drexel.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3P…
Some shameful, cowardly, and unacceptable shit right here.
My theory — Purdue CS denied me tenure because of its shallow, insecure view of scholarship, deep dysfunction and pettiness, apathetic PL leadership, culture of silence, and, yes, sexism. It has taken me a while to call this out; I am speaking up because someone should.
A few months later, can't tell you how many stellar PL faculty candidates and potential grad students I've heard talk about not even applying to Purdue because of this honestly. Will never understand why Purdue CS would do this
This practice is unethical--it's pay to publish (and not even for open access). If a student is presenting they should pay only the student registration. Do better @ICSEconf!

Apparently Outlook has a timing-dependent bug where if you (i.e., me) look at your (i.e., my) notifications on Android, some emails disappear from your inbox? This definitely happened to at least 2 emails I got notifications for, so if you emailed me please try again and/or DM 🤦
Are you interested in doing a PhD, but can't figure out if you want to do linguistics or programming languages? Or you'd ideally do some combination thereof? Maybe you should come with me at their intersection:
