The AAUP calls on Texas A&M & Texas State to reverse the ideological firings of faculty members. We condemn the removal of the dean of the College of Arts & Sciences & the chair of the English department at Texas A&M for supporting the academic freedom of an instructor as a draconian abuse of power.

Corporate America has been waging a war against the trade union movement for a simple reason:

They know that union workers earn higher wages and better benefits than non-union workers.

Outside the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Santiago. An absolutely terrifying but invaluable place for an American to visit now.

How did a sailors’ pidgin from the Mediterranean end up in the commands of Senegal’s colonial troops? This study follows the unexpected journey from sea jargon to Français Tirailleur.

Beige graphic with the heading “NEW ARTICLE | THEORETICAL ESSAY” in small uppercase letters. Below, the title reads “Individual Contributions to the Documentation and Expansion of the Colonial Linguistic Landscape of 19th Century North and West Africa” in large dark brown text. Underneath, a small turquoise dot precedes the author’s name, “Joanna Nolan,” followed by “SOAS University of London.” In the bottom left corner, there’s a minimalist black logo of radiating lines.

Are other states trying to use AI for court interpreting? Are any linguists engaging on this?

You know, I don't do chives. Hot peppers and a bunch of herbs ... basil, parsley, rosemary, oregano, etc. My sister has oregano that's spreading like mad.

Amazing things are happening on X: The Everything App
FischerKing @FischerKing64 Subscribe English will be the common be the international language for the foreseeable future. It has almost no grammar that is really important. It's just a group words cobbled ogether from around the world. It's easy to learn. Iits only problem is that it's hard to spell because of Il the historical interludes. It has 26 letters that most people know anyway. Chinese or anything like it has no chance. No one wants to learn 3,000 characters or hieroglyphs to read a newspaper. The Chinese won't even want to learn tt long run. You could think of English as a proto-Al - a first step toward artificial intelligence that made us able to communicate seamlessly, while also making us all stupid. 4:45 PM. 22Jul 25 . 356K Views
