Isn't it interesting that the only ones on the Supreme Court that have empathy for a innocent man are Women?

Just saw Stephen Miller outside Tysons Mall getting into a car with his security Told him to his face that he's hurting American families. He didn't look up and his security told me I need to keep moving.
I was with my son and holding a Lego bag. These men are weak, cruel cowards.

Asked my smart economist friend about how #TrumpTariffs help Americans or even the rich, because I couldn't see it, and he said, "It doesn't. He's destroying stuff. It doesn't benefit anyone...except our enemies."

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

From the Past is Prologue department: Today, in his excellent substack news letter, @jefftiedrich.bsky.social dug up this evidence of something I have thought about ALOT: this article from a 1924 New York Times reporting on Hitler's release after a prison sentence. And speculating about his future.

Are there any #linguists here who can explain why the British say ur-eye-nal for urinal but vit-uh-min for vitamin (basically, the mirror image of the American pronunciation of these words)?
