English speakers talk as if the past lies behind them and the future before them; for speakers of one Andean language, it's the other way around. How does language shape our perceptions of the world?
How Much Does Our Language Shape Our Thinking?
English continues to expand into diverse regions around the world. The question is whether humanity will be homogenized as a result.

The public radio station KQED (the station I listen to most, currently) serves the San Francisco Bay Area. I just learned it has a show and podcast called “bay curious”. I find this hilarious - does anyone else?

So let me get this straight.
If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check.
But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't?
Got it.

Enlightening thread.
THREAD: Today is a sad day for justice. Jack Smith and the DoJ are bound by the Constitution to dismiss the charges against Trump. It's unlikely that charges will be brought again in four years, but the DoJ doesn't want to close the door completely and has asked for dismissal without prejudice. 1/

Thanks to a Biden reg, I was able to get a refund and rebook on another airline
Trump promised airline CEOs he’ll get rid of the reg
