  A friend of a friend of mine lives in Beirut and when Israel started bombing the city he got told “yes, it’s a shame your neighbourhood got bombed, but we hope you understand that we try to keep normal life going in these times so we are expecting you to come into the office tomorrow”

  Good recommendations! I’d suggest doing some spacy tutorials as well, regarding the topics in the first paragraph. But arguably it’s possible nowadays to just start at transformers without any NLP knowledge, e.g. using huggingface’s AutoTrain or something similar. I wouldn’t recommend it, but you definitely could.
