Pronouns in the news, 1930 ed: antedating and author identified. Richard Tingley, prolific crossword setter, put three common-gender pronoun clues in a puzzle that ran in late 1930; this one appeared in the Rockford (IL) Star, Dec. 28, p. 23. The puzzle ran the next day in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

Crossword with three common gender pronoun clues: 13 across: him or her, a suggested common gender pronoun; 18 across, he or she, a suggested common gender pronoun. 40 across, that one; he, she, or it, suggested common gender pronoun, third person.

Düsseldorf has a (very big and nice) public library right next to the train station and I think it's the best idea in Civil Engineering ever 😍.

I have sadly not taken any fotos, but this is basically me after two wonderful days of the second edition of Linguistic Intersections of Language and Gender (organised by @div-ling.org and @hhu.de). I am extremely grateful to the organisers and the students assistants, who have done an amazing job 💜

Sylvanian families bunny figure dresses in a red polkadot nightgown and lying in a single wooden bed bed on its tummy. One of the arms is hanging down the bed and the figure seems to be staring at the camera. The room has white, soft carpet floor and dusty pink wallpaper.

My legacy: being the one that all students and former classmates text even years after leaving a university to ask about admin stuff.

One chapter deserves special mention: it's based on the fantastic course work of my students in a class on gender linguistic methods @hhu.de. In "Form identity & gendered associations", we explore how similar forms influence gender associations across L1/L2. Huge thanks to my brilliant co-authors!

The volume brings together chapters based on talks and posters from LILG 2023, alongside additional contributions submitted through an open call. It is edited by @dmncschmtz.bsky.social, @terrorstein.bsky.social, and Viktoria Schneider from @hhu.de. 2/3

Yes, we can all laugh at this, but it also demonstrates the entire point of the AI push: They want to make you dependent on it to inform you, and then control what it tells you. It’s why they buy newspapers and social media, too. Elon is showing the billionaire playbook in the dumbest way possible.

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

Keir Starmer: I've already returned over 24,000 people with no right to be here. And I won't stop there.

twitter user: @grok Is this post misleading?

Grok: The claim of white genocide in South Africa is highly debated.  Some evidence, like reports of farm attacks and political rhetoric, suggests violence against white farmers...
