even when you're natively fluent in both, it can be hard to reconcile the two succinctly.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

What is the history of reading pagan origins into Christmas traditions? @kiwihellenist.bsky.social explores everything from the Puritan war on Christmas, to the long lasting “Christmas is pagan” meme!
KiwiHellenist's comment on "What is the history of reading pagan origins into Christmas traditions? I'm NOT asking about the actual origins, as these have been widely debunked. But when did people start making these claims? And to what end? How have they changed from say 17th c. Puritan England to 21st c. evangelical America?"
