Am in the #APSA2023 human rights and migration panel, and the discussant claims to be against discussants on panels! And here I was charmed by this custom we don't have in NLP conferences. Grass is greener etc etc.

I'm presenting "Determinants of Engagement with Misinformation in Armenia" at #APSA2023 this morning.

What’s the German word for when you can’t go to the conference because of a strike but you also can’t cancel your travel plans so you make the best of it and explore an island off the coast of CA? #apsa2023

I can confirm that #APSA2023 didn't change in the pandemic. 99% suits. It is nearly 90 degrees.

#APSA2023 someone is presenting a reactionary petition disapproving of people and groups who boycott future APSA events in solidarity with labour strikes.

At the #APSA2023 business meeting. LOL, they have *investments* of like 50 million dollars. ACL doesn't have even a million I think?

Day 1 at #APSA and there’s nothing more depressing than seeing the number of people — some attending panels on autocratization, no less — using X to private message and post even as this news hits the wires. Network effects are a powerful thing, but it’s especially unfortunate how deeply that site has burrowed its way into professional academic social networks. #APSA2023 https://flip.it/IetZ4i
