I haven't had such a great time watching linguistics singing and dancing since last year's "I put the glamour/back into grammar" video
This is a thoroughly delightful video from some linguists in Finland marrying Finnish etymology with Finnish folk dancing and even if you know nothing about any of these things their enthusiasm is contagious
(and it has English subtitles)

Since I've somehow become a relatively popular person, I had a privilege to observe human behavior on a decent scale. One thing I noticed is that when people criticize me they are often talking about themselves. So yeah, criticize me and I'll tell you who you are, I guess. :)

Just caught a pretty nasty bug in my software renderer with clang -fsanitize=undefined. Who needs Rust really? Learn clang sanitizers - they are awesome!

FMLA is a good start but not enough. Isn’t the US supposed to be the richest part of the way. So many disabled people could work if leave was available. It also needs to be illegal to retaliate when an employee takes leave (I know that exists for FMLA). #chronicillness #disability

Nearly 49% of adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in the U.S. aren't receiving treatment, despite MDD being the leading cause of disability worldwide. It's time to break the stigma and prioritize mental health. #MentalHealthAwareness #DepressionStats

More vulnerable people will die.
