@sopokudarkwah @arpitrage some journals do this thing where the assign papers to issues but then make some of them available earlier online. it's heaps confusing

These results suggest that getting a PhD causally worsens mental health, or at least receiving psychiatric medicines. The reversal post PhD degree is particularly convincing. But the up trend among the control group is intriguing. The highly educated are in distress.

@arpitrage I bet a lot of the control kids do masters degrees

How are humans able to make sense of time? Not with special biology but with “time tools”—ideas, practices, and artifacts that render time more concrete. My new paper explores this vast toolkit—one that makes use of knots, nuts, hands, flowers, mountains, shadows, and more. 🧵

dearest @cragcrest . I am not here for my semi-regular plea for you to do more podcasts, especially with @ClareMalone . I am here to say that the video on your old article is down and please do you know who to poke to fix it please? ty + you're so cool! fivethirtyeight.com/features/not-e…

@SusantoSaman in section 3.3.4 I discuss differences between comparative concepts in the traditional HL sources I use as compared to Grambank. Section 3.3.2 has an overview of data coverage.

@Laserhedvig Very interesting paper. How does the study account for potential biases or limitations in the data used from the Grambank structural database which could arise from factors such as sampling biases, data quality issues, or incomplete coverage of linguistic features?

I have written a paper about Ancestral State Reconstruction in Historical Linguistics. It is out now in Diachronica. benjamins.com/catalog/dia.22…

Achievement unlocked: Etymonline-editor Douglas Harper agrees with me on something. So, I can't be that dumb.

@hankgreen are the mystery packs mystery sizes?

1. 12 pairs of mystery socks...fun designs for cool people for $60 ($5 per pair) 2. Free shipping on all domestic orders over $59 3. 10% off any order over $50 with the code SAVE10 4. 20% off any order over $100 with code SAVE 20 good.store/products/myste…

For the last three years, we have had tens of thousands of people subscribed to a monthly sock subscription that donates all profit to charity. Every month, we order a little extra, which has resulted in...a warehouse problematically full of socks. We are...oversocked.

Tulsi Gabbard will be Director of National Intelligence. She's in a cult and has deep connections to Indian fascists. @MikePrysner's 2-part QAA episode is full of severely under reported information about her. Part 1: soundcloud.com/qanonanonymous… Part 2: soundcloud.com/qanonanonymous…

@maxplanckpress It is nice to highlight such an illustrious birthday 🥳! However, I believe it is customary to write her full name after marriage (lest her polishness is forgotten): "Marie Skłodowska-Curie". It is for example the name of the @ERC_Research grant and on her @NobelPrize diploma 🇵🇱

Two incredible women scientists share a birthday today😊 Marie Curie (1867), two-time Nobel Laureate who coined ‘radioactivity’ & discovered #radium & #polonium, and Lise Meitner (1878), who unlocked the mystery of #nuclearfission, but was (in)famously snubbed for a #Nobel. Both have elements named in their honour: #Meitnerium (element 109) & #Curium (element 96). Happy birthday to these trailblazers!🥳#OTD

People usually think replication attempts in science are rare. Journals don't publish replications, so scientists don't do them. In reality there are countless replication attempts (and failures), it's just PhD students assume they did something wrong journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

@harshavmb @MudgeRulf @dwnews That is why it would be good with phone-based interpreters like in Sweden, Australia etc. Doctors and other medical staff should not be expected to be multilingual, even in English. They should be recruited for their medical skills only.

@MudgeRulf @dwnews Again, I am asking which language? If the patient speaks German, all is well. English, mostly spoken by doctors, shouldn't be a problem. But if patients speak only Türkish, Russian, etc., etc., you can't expect doctors to speak those languages in Germany.

Germany is a multilingual society, but accessing health care is often frustrating for people who don't speak German. dw.com/en/germanys-he…

I had the great pleasure of talking to Berthold von Maris from @nrc about grammatical diversity recently. It was fun and the resulting piece is very well-done! nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/10…

I loved this chat with @JulieSedivy about her new book "Linguaphile: A Life of Language Love". And a discussion with Matt Spike about LLMs and impossible languages. Wherever you get your podcasts. @fsgbooks becauselanguage.com/107-linguaphil…
