"Etymology (the study of word origins) is often presented as just arbitrary speculation or a kind of game. But responsible linguists can defend seemingly bizarre etymologies on the grounds of regular, predictable sound changes that the languages in question have undergone." https://youtu.be/Y-0LQXNB9LE #Video #Etymology #Language #Languages #Linguistics #Word #Words @linguistics

@bibliolater @history @histodon @histodons @medievodons Great post, and follow up questions from The Conversation. Medieval and ancient Roman time reckoning is a fascinating wormhole to explore. It's fun to find out where our various modern weird-isms come from...Feb 29th and the like.

"Having mapped and reconstructed Hegel's conception of colonialism through his writings and lectures, the article argues that his account of Europe's modern colonial expansion is based primarily on economic considerations, rather than on civilizational assumptions proclaiming the spiritual superiority of European peoplesโto which Hegel nevertheless subscribes."

@bibliolater If they don't provide an RSS icon, you can still sometimes find the feed:
- try just appending "/feed" to the end of the base URL. This is the Wordpress convention, and a lot of blogs are Wordpress, so this will get you a decent chunk.
- if you view source and search for "rss", "atom", "feed", or "xml", often you can find a feed listed in the source.
Though I agree developers should still provide it. Or browsers should search for the link in the code and flag it in the interface.

'Roger Guillemin identified the molecules in the brain that control the production of hormones in endocrine glands such as the pituitary and thyroid. His work led to a torrent of advances in neuroendocrinology, with far-reaching effects on studies of metabolism, reproduction and growth. For his discoveries on peptide-hormone production in the brain, Guillemin shared the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Andrew Schally and Rosalyn Yalow. He has died at the age of 100.'

@bibliolater I find RSS feeds more often than not. It's usually not advertised, but there if you know where to look.

Browsers used to display rss icon in address bar, making it more prominent. That was removed along with rss support in browsers (Firefox used to call them โdynamic bookmarksโ).
On the other hand, most readers these days allow you to just paste the address of website and they will automatically discover all feeds that page references. So thereโs hardly any reason for you to think about specific feed address.

@bibliolater @psychology curious to see if this has changed since.

"The author argues that a cadre of Southern theologians rejected the liberal heritage of the United States and redefined the relationship between the individual and state. Southern clerical fascists reconceived of an alternative modernity that reflected Godโs precepts. Slaves, laborers, and slave masters all had a mandate to guide secular and spiritual progress."

๐ฉ๐ช "Using an inductive approach, we asked 987 German citizens to describe what being German means for them. A latent class analysis of content-coded responses revealed four classes: a heritage-based identity class with a strong focus on language and culture (39%), an ideology-based identity class that revolves around democracy, welfare, freedom, and economy and safety (19%), a legal-formalistic identity class that is mostly concerned with the legal requirement for obtaining and holding citizenship of national identity (26%), and a trait-based identity class describing personality-traits that are supposed to be typical for Germans (16%)."

"Our results show that presenting the success rate of previous raters works as an incentive to evaluate information more accurately, but that monetary bonuses provide the strongest increase in accuracy, and that only remuneration is associated with a greater use of external resources (e.g., search engines) that have been shown to meaningfully improve evaluation of new content."
