@BeAware@social.beaware.live @adredish I had a toot appear in my timeline yesterday from an account I do not follow. It did not have any hashtag associated with it nor was it boosted by an account I follow.

<strong>Arabic Loanwords in Hebrew</strong>

"_The influence of Arabic, both spoken (in innumerable dialects, including those spoken by Jews) and written, took place in the mediaeval and modern periods of Hebrew; its vocabulary forms more than half of the Hebrew lexicon, according to the renowned dictionary of Abraham Even-Shoshan (Rosenstein, 1906–1984). The approximately 8,000 lexical items in the Bible are not sufficient to entirely meet the needs of either a written language or a spoken one._"

@Nonya_Bidniss More than irritation, it may be a case of clicking on a link that leads to a malicious site. If there is no way to tell what the link is pointing to, I avoid clicking.

@Nonya_Bidniss In complete agreement. I also found it strange when I first started using Mastodon that links would be posted without any explanation.

<strong>Ancient DNA sheds light on the genetic origins of early Iron Age Philistines</strong>

"_Our analysis suggests that this genetic distinction is due to a European-related gene flow introduced in Ashkelon during either the end of the Bronze Age or the beginning of the Iron Age. This timing is in accord with estimates of the Philistines arrival to the coast of the Levant, based on archeological and textual records (2–4)._"

<strong>Indigenous Arabs are descendants of the earliest split from ancient Eurasian populations</strong>

"_The Arabian Peninsula was the initial site of the out-of-Africa migrations that occurred between 125,000 and 60,000 yr ago, leading to the hypothesis that the first Eurasian populations were established on the Peninsula and that contemporary indigenous Arabs are direct descendants of these ancient peoples._"

<strong>5 Famous Cartographers You Need to Know About</strong>

"_Gerardus Mercator is perhaps well-known for all the wrong reasons. His last name evokes the infamous Mercator projection, which depicts the world in a distorted way. The projection has been criticized for putting Europe at the center of the world and favoring the northern hemisphere by making countries there appear bigger than they are in reality._"

According to the #data the #UnitedStates comes in at 20.87% while #Russia comes in at 23.76% so there is a 2.89% difference.
