I turned it over and some sliced celery (Hemköp ekologisk, 1 bitar) came out. This is not good.

(internal laptop keyboard - Lenovo Legion, Swedish, NOT MECHANICAL - works fine).

I was moving to lean one arm over the back of my chair (gaming roller chair). I slipped, and the whole table (IKEA mass produced) wobbled, sending some soup (salt, water) and one (1) noodle into my letters (specifically cC อฮ).

Thanks!

I teach medical anthro! These aren’t things we talk about for the most part. Critical medical anthro would ask “why are health issues compounded by politics/economy”? Ethnomedicine we might be interested in the logics. But not saying “this is good / bad”. That question is just not interesting.

You have to imagine it’s delivered with a kind of awed conviction.

It’s a good example of a very common and terrible misuse of data. It’s not active disinformation, just awful design.

None of this is relevant to the NYPost story, which is a combo of “monolinguals don’t know anything about comparative kin terms” and “racists don’t know anything about non-white communities”. And, of course, “can we find a story about Mamdani that makes him not look like an absolute hero?”

In Chinese, part of this specificity has to do with patrilineality, whereas Thai society is more loose (some areas were matrilineal, whereas elite groups and official records today are patrilineal).
