a hair shirt?

Screenshot from https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trui_(kleding)
a pullover sweater under the text "Trui", and captioned "Jersey-trui (2011)"

Directed graph showing the derivation of English "hair" and Dutch "haar": "hair" from Germanic *hērą: "hair" < Proto-Indo-European *kesróm: "hair" < *kes-: "to scrape, to comb, hair"

Plus the tenuous derivation of Gaulish kassis, which appears in several Gaulish ethnonyms, from perhaps PIE *keseh₂: "hair", from the same *kes-

from Gaulish kassis to Latin Tricasses/Augustobona Tricassium/Tricassae, whence the French city of Troyes, and possibly also the Old French word that became Middle Low German troie/troye, the origin of Dutch "trui", Swedish "tröja", Icelandic "treyja", etc. which all mean something like "sweater".

All-in wheat and potato Sunday rolls (overnight proofing at room temperature, just 1g of yeast). Did not have the orange juice that the recipe was asking for and ended up using left-over dry sparkling wine (33g), which seems to have worked just fine.

Very productive baking day started with over-night-proofed braided bread and continued with two sourdough loaves, one rye and one wheat with ground lentils.

Does society romanticize obesity, or does it just dislike seeing fat women take up space? This study analyzes lexical choices in Brazilian social media ads to find out. By G.M.S. Leal. doi.org/10.25189/267... #langsky #linguistics

Square graphic with a soft green background. At the top, in small uppercase text: “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA.” Centered below, a bold title in a light box: “THE LEXICON THAT FRAMES FAT BODIES.”

Beneath the title, a paragraph reads: “On social media, the fat female body is judged, mocked, or softened through word choices that range from compliment to insult. This study analyzes how the lexicon of digital ads keeps the thin standard as the norm, even when the discourse pretends to embrace diversity.” The phrase “thin standard” is bolded.

Minimal decorative elements include a thin horizontal line near the top and a small abstract mark in the bottom-left corner.

With an abundance of both kefir and sourdough discard, made two more loaves (this time twisting the dough before the second proof).

A Swiss tradition on Easter Sunday: Zopf (braided bread). This one with yellow wheat, overnight cold proof, so all you need to do is heat the oven and bake it. (Pre/heated to my usual 250°C instead of 230, so crust is darker than intended). #breadsky

This is so, so well-articulated.

People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

Made these energy bickies after the recipe of a medieval mystic to share at work today. They’re super spiced (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves), so apparently consumption should be limited to 2-3 per day. This version made gluten-free so all can partake.

This 7.6cm terracota figurine shows a woman baking bread in a tandoor style oven, right? Very accurately as well. Where is it from? Cyprus, 600- 450 BCE It's amazing how far and wide georgaphically, and time-wise, this style of baking encompasses! Check the air hole at the bottom too!

Sustainable home baking. Been too productive and some of your bread has gone stale? Toast, grind and replace 5-10% (of flour) in your standard recipe with this (having soaked over night in some of the water, boiled). Improves aroma and crumb texture. #breadsky #sourdough
