Metrology is for measurement; mereology is for parts and wholes. Division is in both. You can divide quantities just as you can add and multiply them -- that's quantity calculus. And you can divide wholes into parts. One suffix in Hungarian expresses both! ojs.ub.uni-konstanz.de/sub/index.ph...

Lots of Supreme Court decisions. Some good, some bad. Bad one: Mullin vs. Al Otro Lado. Eliminates the right to seek asylum at the border. Hinges on meaning of "arrive in". I completely agree with Kagan's dissent, and her analysis of the meaning of the phrase here. But inhumanity will prevail.

You have to cite everything that is relevant and not everything that is relevant is entirely relevant. You just have to check that whatever you say about a paper is true (which does require opening the paper and reading parts of it).

In Newar, saying "one-one fish" means each person got one fish. But "one-one letter is correct" means every letter is correct — no licensor needed. How does reduplication of one become every? New paper draft! #linguistics #semantics #fieldwork #reduplication #numerals eecoppock.info/SULAAAA-proc...

ICE officials, under a judge’s order to clean up overcrowded and squalid conditions inside holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a separate floor where they decided the the ruling didn't apply. The revelation comes in a hearing today: www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/09/2...

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.

Ok so it was an attack. You said it wasn’t an attack. It was. I think it’s justified to attack him for the “hysteria” comment. That suffices. No need to bring his wife’s age into it. I don’t think it’s justified to attack him based on his wife’s age.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN
