إنك يا أبا القاسم حين تُمدح فإن الشعر لا ينتهى بانتهاء الإنشاد؛ وذلك لأنك «من أنفسنا»، ولأنه كان «عزيزًا عليك ما عَنِتْنَا» ولأنك كنت «حَرِيصًا علينا»، ولأنك كنت فَأْلَ هذه الأمة الحَسَن، فكنت متعبًا مثلنا، ومظلومًا مثلنا، ومنفيًا مثلنا، ومُكَذَّبًا ومكذوبًا عليك مثلنا، ثم انتصرت

Folks who work on #NLProc for disaster response: you can't use Twitter data that encodes health information about people. That includes the existing government surveillance datasets like "CrisisNLP". This is now banned by Twitter's terms and ACM's code of ethics.
