My son has exams coming up and told me he studied an hour of history. I asked him which hour of history he studied, but my dadly comic genius went unnoticed.

Some serious nerdery.... The Corpus of Oz Early English (accessible at data.ldaca.edu.au) has 3 entries in its contents spreadsheet with no corresponding files. As good stewards of the data, we wanted to try to fill these gaps. And this turns into a strange story worth a thread! 1/8

Thrilled to launch a #journalism resource written by myself, @nabelew.bsky.social & Amanda Holmes: tinyurl.com/languagejour... We appreciate the growing attention the #media is giving to #language endangerment & revitalization, but issues are often covered in ways cause unintentional harm. How? 🗞️

I bought the complete Bach edition when Telefunken put it out on a memory stick a few years back. I try to listen to the appropriate cantata(s) on Sunday as a somewhat structured way of exploring that repertoire. I must have missed the 2nd Sunday after Easter before. 1/2

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

I don’t think we’ve properly explored the possible anagrams for Clive Palmer’s new party, Trumpet of Patriots. I particularly like Soft Muppet Traitor, and Muppet Fart Risotto. But do find your own.
