We continue with proposed dialectal differences in Early Irish. The word for ‘house’ occurs in various forms in Irish sources. The nominative singular is simple: the oldest form was teg < *tegos, but it is most commonly...

#Neige ❄️☃️ Une perturbation neigeuse est prévue sur la Bretagne ce lundi avec un dépôt fréquent et des chaussées qui s'annoncent glissantes.
Il est prévu parfois 5 cm sous les précipitations les plus intenses et durables.
Prudence sur les routes lundi matin !

🌨️ ❄️ Une perturbation abordera la Bretagne ce lundi avec un risque de neige dans l’intérieur des terres. La tenue au sol dépendra du positionnement exact de la dépression, encore incertain à moins de 24 h.

Je ne veux inquiéter personne, mais il y a vraiment un repositionnement très énergique et rapide de moyens américains vers le théâtre européen là depuis quelques heures.

Sachant que la flotte au large de Caracas vient à priori en grande partie du Pacifique, ça peut être un renfort mais aussi des avions positionnés pour commencer un retrait de troupes des bases européennes.

Ce qui aurait du sens si les US ont besoin de mettre de la masse au Venezuela sans unités NG.

So this is sort of fascinating because on the one hand obviously the Roman imperial senate was a shadow of what, say, the Senate of the third and second centuries BC had been, but at the same time it was a pretty crucial component of imperial governance into the third century.
You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

Got it! With MAJOR thanks to @benpohl.bsky.social and others. The original reference is to JL 4366, in H. Bresslau's Papyrus und Pergament in der päpstlichen Kanzlei bis zur Mitte des 11. Jahrh. published in 1888. BUT he clearly states that the original document is lost! 🧵
I am on the trail of my very own manuscript studies chortlemuffin (™️Drimmer). Everyone says that the last dated papal bull on papyrus was issued in 1057 but I cannot find a shelfmark or incipit or image or any supporting evidence for this statement. I will get to the bottom of it, I assure you.
The citation chain usually works like this:
-supposition stated as fact

-supposition with reference to reputable book from c.1930s

-reputable book from c.1930s with reference to Sir Edward Chortlemuffin, 1782

- Sir Edward Chortlemuffin, "here's an idea I'll fart out," 1782

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

#HappyBirthdayTolkien

According to Ryszard Derdziński, the surname "Tolkien" is probably Low Prussian meaning "son of Tolk", ultimately from Slavic *tъlkъ

Slavic *tъlkъ from PIE *tlkʷ-: "talk". The form *tlokʷ- also survives in Latin "loquor", as in "loquacious", "eloquent", "locution", etc.

Ah tiens, il n'a pas attendu longtemps avant de désigner sa prochaine victime.

Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."

J'ai tenté pour vous la conférence de presse de Trump. Eh beh, il est parti totalement dans un délire.

Par contre, j'ai l'impression qu'il prépare le terrain à des destitutions de dirigeants locaux démocrates.
