More evidence against compositionality!

I’ll never understand this logic

If you have at least lower intermediate level Persian, come to Yerevan this summer and I will teach you how to understand Bāburnāma and other texts in the original Chaghatay already at our second session. Sign up here https://t.co/sXCcNF7ztI

New paper at #LREC2026 🎉

We introduce ACID, a cross-cultural dataset to study classism in NLP.
🔍 Key findings: pervasive negative stereotypes especially concerning morality, frequent offensiveness, and strong individual blame.

Same day, same outlet (the BBC):

Somalis "hijack" ships.
The US merely "boards" them.

This is how consent is manufactured in real time.

[Alireza Doostdar علیرضا دوستدار @docstobar]

Iranians have a popular expression, the polite version of which is "We'll buy your burnt nose."

He was also a cognitive psychologist and chairman of the board of trustees at the Institute for Cognitive Science Studies.

[Reza Nasri @RezaNasri1]

A few days after an Israeli attack that claimed his wife’s life and left him critically wounded, Dr. Kamal Kharazi succumbed to his injuries.

He was a seasoned, veteran diplomat who served as Iran’s Foreign Minister during President Khatami’s tenure—the very period when Iran advanced the idea of “Dialogue among Civilisations” as a direct counterpoint to the notion of a “Clash of Civilisations.”

Israel targets diplomats because it thrives on bloodshed and destruction.

Dr. Alireza Zarei, Mathematics Professor and Head of IT Center at Sharif University of Technology, just held his "Randomized Algorithms" class for graduate students inside his office destroyed by American and Israeli crimes.

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

I am heartbroken yet not the least surprised. Of course the US and Israel would commit yet another war crime and bomb Sharif University. This is where Iran’s greatest minds are produced. Nothing instills more fear in Iran’s adversaries than the promise of its young people.

[Alireza Akbari @itsalireza_akb]

Abolfazl Dehnavi, a humanitarian aid worker with the Iranian Red Crescent in Mobarakeh, Isfahan, has been martyred in a U.S.–Israeli attack.

He is now the fourth Red Crescent aid worker killed while carrying out life-saving duties amid this ongoing war.

He was killed by a US-Israeli strike on Tehran.

[Alireza Akbari @itsalireza_akb]

Funeral of street sweeper Hassan Kheiran in Tehran. He was in his 50s, originally from Bandar Anzali. He had no wife or children, and his parents passed away a few years ago

but today, he was not alone. His friends came.

From now on, he’ll live on in our hearts

همین که بازار تهران سرپاست و نفس می‌کشه، مردم در حال گذران روزمرگی خودش محکم‌ترین جواب به اون احمقیه که توهم شکست ایرانو داده

[Mohammad Saeid Miri @da_saeid]

As a metaphor researcher, I've come across many love affair metaphors in political discourse, but TBH, this is the ugliest one I've ever seen.

[Somaieh Jalily ⁦⁦🎒 @jalilyonline]

Tehran is full of life, people are resistant against bombs and death.

[Setareh Sadeqi 𓂆 ☫ @Leelako]

"The war in the Middle East" is an orientalist framing of an illegal invasion of a sovereign country-Iran- in the middle of 'negotiations' by the United States and the apartheid Israeli regime, seeking to blame 'both sides' & portray the region as inherently a hub of violence 1/2
