Building on Grimes’s (2025) critique, I understand microblogs as digital spaces defined by brevity, ephemerality, and performative expression. Rather than fostering meaningful dialogue, they often prioritize immediacy over depth, virality over reflection. In what follows, I show how media shape the
Grimes [@Grimezsz]. (2025, July 7). Ok I’ve basically been entirely off social media and returning here it is overwhelmingly abundantly and profoundly clear that this place – and all of these places – are a poison – a prison of utterly short form deep sounding nonsense attached to no one that ur brain will discard imaging its learning.

In Dresden today for the second day of #LinguisTikTok conference – excited to be presenting later today.

(Yes, it’s not lost on me that I’m here to talk about Reddit at a TikTok-themed event – but that’s exactly what makes cross-platform discourse so fascinating. 😌)

Testing OpenAI's Operator with the @simonwillison.net benchmark—asked for a pelican on a bicycle, got abstract art instead. The agent gave it a valiant effort, trying multiple tools before failing miserably. 🚲🦩🤖
A screenshot of an interaction with OpenAI's Operator feature. The user requested a drawing of a pelican riding a bicycle using Paint.js. The interface of Paint.js is visible, showing a mostly blank canvas with a small, diagonal black scribble. Below the screenshot, a message states that there were difficulties drawing the requested image.

spannend ist an dem paper die methode: wir zeigen modellen bildern von plots und schauen, ob dabei was sinnvolles rauskommt. so würde ich mit bescheidenen mitteln das auch machen. und research labs bei google fällt auch nix besseres ein. hashtag very reassuring

Coming soon im Narr Verlag: "Reingegrätscht. Eine kleine Linguistik des Fußballs" mit Beiträgen von @konstanzemarx.bsky.social, @karinafrick.bsky.social, @dpfu.bsky.social, @outdooracademic.bsky.social und vielen anderen mehr.
Fußball wird nicht nur gespielt und geschaut, über Fußball wird auch gesprochen und geschrieben. Woche für Woche füllt er Medien und Alltagsgespräche und ist für viele Menschen nicht nur ein Zeitvertreib, sondern beziehungs- und identitätsstiftend. Es ist deshalb kein Wunder, dass sich auch die Sprachwissenschaft für das Kulturphänomen Fußball interessiert. Denn die Sprache des Fußballs, wie sie von Spieler:innen, Trainer:innen, Journalist:innen und natürlich den Fans gepflegt wird, ist ein ausgezeichneter Trainingsplatz für die unterschiedlichsten linguistischen Teildisziplinen. Zur Fußballeuropameisterschaft der Männer, die 2024 in Deutschland stattfindet, hat Simon Meier-Vieracker ein Team von fußballinteressierten Sprachwissenschaftler:innen zusammengestellt, die das Feld der linguistischen Fußballforschung vermes- sen. Herausgekommen ist ein Buch, so vielfältig wie die Sprache des Fußballs selbst. Ein Tiki-Taka aktueller sprachwissenschaftlicher Fragen, das alle begeistern wird, d
