Rediscovered this old story on "ultraconserved words" that have supposedly retained their meaning and pronunciation across languages for millennia: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/linguists-identify-15000-year-old-ultraconserved-words/2013/05/06/a02e3a14-b427-11e2-9a98-4be1688d7d84_story.html And then this article from Language Log that casts some doubt on the flimsy theoretical framework behind the sensationalized story: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=4612

So you know how the Joe Biden #AnimalCrossing island has fenced-off areas you can't really visit, meant to be viewed from a distance? If you enter the dream wearing a wetsuit, you can jump off the airport pier and swim around the island to get to at least some parts of those areas. Here's me behind the "White House" (museum adorned with custom panels)

I'd forgotten that US astronauts are still going up to Station on Soyuz, in this case Kate Rubins, the microbiologist who was first to sequence DNA in space: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2020/10/14/hatches-open-station-crew-expands-to-six-2/ . This is her second trip to the ISS and she'll be on orbit from today till April 2021. I sure wouldn't mind being off Earth till next year.

@brownpau I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
