Excited to attend #IFNW2025 at Keio University! Looking forward to insightful discussions and reconnecting with fellow FrameNetters in Yokohama! 🇯🇵
Marcelo Viridiano, a man with light skin, glasses, and beard, wearing a dark gray sweater, light-colored pants, and white sneakers, with his hands in his pockets, stands next to a blue conference poster for the 6th International FrameNet Workshop (IFNW 2025) at Keio University in Yokohama, Japan. The conference poster features white text highlighting the event’s theme on frames, cognitively grounded language resources, and AI, along with a list of invited speakers and a QR code for more information. The background shows a modern outdoor walkway with glass windows and metal columns.

‘You will be visited by three spirits.’ The three spirits:
A surreal room (the Black Lodge, from Twin Peaks) with red curtains and a black-and-white zigzag floor. Three individuals are present: one seated on a black sofa wearing a red suit (the arm), one standing in a gray shirt and red bow tie (the Fireman), and another seated in black attire (FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper). The setting includes an abstract atmosphere, with unique lighting and a white statue in the background.

‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

If watching Star Wars has taught me anything about the future¹, it's that AI and technology sucks and still can't flawlessly execute all rebel attack positions in a single blast, and that people are still way too emotional. _____ 1.

A stunning image of the Pillars of Creation captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. Towering columns of cosmic dust and gas rise against a backdrop of stars, glowing with vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold. The intricate details reveal the texture and structure of the pillars, with light from newly formed stars piercing through the dense material.

Word buildings. An old favourite by @tomgauld.bsky.social tomgauld.com
Single-frame, black and white drawing of four buildings or places in a row, each labelled underneath. On the left is the Institute of Neologisms, a fancy, futuristic building like the snub nose of a rocket with a glass dome on top and some scientific equipment. Beside it, connected by a thick tube like a robot's arm, is the Department of Everyday Language, an ordinary, rectangular block of a building with six storeys and lots of small windows, like a municipal or apartment block. Next is the Society for the Preservation of Antiquated Terminology, a narrow, rather charming building, vaguely gothic, with arched windows and a steep roof. It's also connected to the Department building, by a transept-like structure. Finally, on the right, is the Cemetery of Forgotten Words, a scattering of slim tombstones and a small, dead-looking tree.
