Struggle to think of female scientists? It’s in the stories we tell. Or don’t tell. On International Women’s Day, Robert McNees shares stories about women who deserve more spotlight than they got:

Ik hoor je. Had deze vervangende windowslaptop helaas al in huis. Maar de volgende stap is inderdaad Linux.

"My employer has my passport" sounds like a fair reason to stay.
I maintain there should be public funding to keep Charlie from airing his nightmares. Of course he writes about happy futures like AI-directed supermarket gimps to get them out of his own head. Pity any techbro can feed those books into chatgpt for inspiration.

Ik heb net geprobeerd ʔappel en ʔeiland uit te spreken zonder de ʔ, en nu denken mijn katten dat ik rijp ben voor opname. (Of dat er brokjes komen, maar da's hun nulhypothese.)
Thanks @fonolog.bsky.social, goed begin van de zaterdag!
Misguided cryospecialists? Have fun nonetheless!
I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center:
If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.
Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Ergens komende weken lanceert NASA Artemis-II naar de Maan. Indrukwekkend, maar ik vrees dat het de zwanenzang gaat zijn van een ooit fier ruimteprogramma.

Yeah, it’s very good. And suddenly getting seen again - is the original skeet getting reposted?
Cram in a pendulum somehow and you’re cooking.
I think about 60% of US posters on here, and 60% of European ones, are overdue their nap times right now.

Northern Lights over suburbia. Iphone6.
Iphone 12 (wife’s) vs 6 (mine). Had to crank all the sliders on mine to get even a hint of colour. But it’s there! Northern Lights from a city window in Dutch suburbia.

Old English had two words for “knife”:
‘cnīf’ (the ancestor of ‘knife’) and ‘meteseax’.
‘Meteseax’ was a compound of two words:
- ‘mete’ (“food”), the ancestor of ‘meat’;
- a word for “sword” related to ‘Saxon’.
German ‘Messer’ and Dutch ‘mes’ are its living cognates.
