Every academic has one core theory they don't actually believe in, but can't stop using because it’s so **neat**

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?

We also talked about:

🎬 Why villains always have accents.

🎬 Why "Parasite" was a game-changer for non-English films.

🎬 How AI is secretly shaping the voices you hear on screen.

Such interesting stuff!

Remember when we all turned to the Great British Baking Show because it was so calming and NICE? May I recommend revisiting that coping mechanism, but with the ULTRA-nice Great Canadian Baking Show? It’s niceness squared.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
