Great idea and beautiful formatting. What do you use?

Journals: I am *begging you*, do not make me download a .bib file for a single article citation. Give me some text to copy like a decent human being

And by "politicize it", I do NOT mean make stupid hasty and unfounded partisan speculations on what the shooter's MoTiVeS were. Stop that shit.

I will never stop saying this: if I ever die in the US due to gun violence, politicize it. Yeet my corpse onto the steps of Congress. Demand sensible laws. Anyone pretending otherwise has an agenda. It's the guns, stupid.

Well this is a fun one to add to my corpus 😂

Dans l'idéal, des jeux de données qui n'ont pas déjà été utilisés dans des livres stats/R pour linguistes (comme celui de Bodo Winter)

Also ideally not previously featured in R-centric stats for linguistics books such as Bodo Winter's.

Salut les linguistes! Je cherche des jeux de données publics pour mon cours de méthodes quantitatives comme études de cas. Idéalement variés en sous-domaines, formats (.csv, texte brut, JSON…) et sources (GitHub, HuggingFace, OSF, voire un peu de web scraping léger). Merci, n’hésitez pas à partager!

ling peeps! Looking for public datasets to add to my quant methods course as case studies. Ideally diverse with respect to subfield, file type (.csv, raw text, JSON, etc) and host/source (GitHub, HuggingFace, OSF, etc -- could even involve some baby web scraping). Thanks, feel free to share!

Oof. Sorry to hear. I had a hell of a time importing mine to Canada, glad I finally got rid of it

I didn't know I was in your data
