So I was thinking about how Biathlon in Norwegian is called ski shooting (skiskyting) and I think @adamcsharp.bsky.social should do an Olympics special

Det forklarer så mye at Ruter ikke ser det som en problemstilling at noen må gå🚶‍♀️

– Kommer Ruter til å rydde opp internt, og må noen rett og slett gå?

– Det ligger en premiss i spørsmålet om at noen i Ruter har gjort noe feil eller galt. Det ser vi ikke som en aktuell problemstilling. Og vi ser det heller ikke som en aktuell problemstilling at noen må gå, sier direktør for kommunikasjon og samfunnskontakt i Ruter, Elisabeth Skarsbø Moen.

Very good (though a group of crows is actually only called a murder if there is probable caws)

This is exactly what it’s like in my brain all the time, all four levels, simultaneously

When you don't know anything about
linguistics: The plural of "memorandum" is "memoranda", why can't people get it right

When you know a little about
linguistics: The plural of "memorandum" should just be "memorandums" because that's how people naturally say it, "memoranda" is just prescriptivism

When you know a lot about linguistics: Oh my god? So certain English words borrowed from Latin and Greek have competing plural forms, with one form using the English plural -s and the other using a borrowed Latin or Greek form? Do you realize how crazy that is a language borrowing *inflectional morphology* from another language? And here the two competing plural forms have become markers of education, expertise, and social class, isn't that incredible?

When you have a degree in linguistics and dgaf anymore:

memorandibles

Bit of an odd story this one - the main analysis says women don't use AI because they lack STEM skills, confidence and value in the workplace. Yet the anecdotes suggest that women excel at communication, whether writing or interpersonal, and can spot ChatGPT's flaws www.bbc.co.uk/news/busines...

bbc.co.uk

Why are fewer women using AI than men?

The use of artificial intelligence appears to have a significant gender imbalance.

Why invest in AI when it's so easy to find people who will be confidently wrong for free...

I dated a cricket umpire once, but she had real boundary issues.

Scholastic asks, "Do you want to opt out of 'diverse' books at your school's next book fair?" Your participation in white supremacy has never been easier, just uncheck the 'diverse' books box– poof, no problems. 🙄

Transphobes who get mad about pronouns are weak. I speak Vietnamese. The pronoun I use for myself and the person I’m talking to or about depends on how old I am, how old they are, whether they’re a relative, whether they’re related to my mom or my dad, gender, and more. There are over 20 of them.

I’d say this banned-books story horrifies me because I’m queer, but honestly I don’t think I’d be less horrified if I were straight. It’s the kind of insanity that should worry anyone who cares about a) living in a free society or b) other people. popular.info/p/florida-sc...

Librarians in public schools in Charlotte County, Florida, were instructed by the school district superintendent to remove all books with LGBTQ characters or themes from school and classroom libraries...

Today in the saga of cis people are awkward: Was asked by the new HR lady "Um so what do I call you? Girl? Boy? They?"
