If you were hoping to see a #rugby match featuring #Shona and #Georgian players at the same time, it is technically possible for the Rugby World Cup to make that happen. It won’t, but….. one can dream. #GeoxZim

tbh I'm not 100% sure how "Mexican-American and Latina/Latino" gets categorized as 'Other' in **checks notes** Texas

ok google, I know you think AI summaries are helpful, but....this layout led to some extremely fallacious presuppositions.

I think I don’t have the working memory to solve @nytgames.bsky.social #Letterboxed in one word, if that’s ever possible. But two is a fun challenge.

{rmb}{tph}{ayd}{sco}: a word game where the goal is to use all the letters without ever having two adjacent ones from the same subset. The solution shown here is Champs -> storyboard

Gee English has a lot of negation prefixes. Why so many? un- non- ill-/irr-/in- anti- a-/an- Non negating: re- locational Latinate ones (circum-, ex-, trans-, etc)

Does anyone else ever randomly match up the meter in a song with an arbitrary phrase from another context? Is it just me? youtube.com/shorts/2C4o4... #silly #linguistics #jokes #prosody #syntaxjoke #gender #agreement

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

I’m experimenting with different filming options. Expect the next video to be better and/or worse quality. There will probably be awkward jump cuts based on inter-device latency.

Is it bad form to ask people to send videos where they talk with their mouths full? (Asking “for science”, of course.)
