For today's linguistic lesson, here's a refreshingly positive take on new ways language is using. (I'm not sure about the name "kidspeak" but I guess we can't have everything.)

And I learned that apparently "yeet" actually has a meaning and isn't just a noise people put in memes and stuff, which is the only way I'd seen it used so far. ;)

Wenn Tampons in einer Buchhülle verkauft werden, fallen nur 7 Prozent Mehrwertsteuer an. In der üblichen Pappschachtel sind es 19 Prozent MwSt.
(Übrigens: Champagner und Kaviar sind auch nur mit 7 Prozent besteuert. Sind ja wichtig für den Grundbedarf.)

Jason Scott just dumped the ZIL source code for every infocom game on github. Clone it before Activision's lawyers wake up. And now we see how long it takes for the internet to produce a compiler for a language that's been dead for 30+ years from a cache of production grade source code for said language. We've had compiled z-machine files, but never the original ZIL. https://github.com/historicalsource

Do you know of an electronic literature/poetry piece? I have a 800 word essay due where I need to analyse one, and rather than go through the official archive, I want to see if I can find a newer one that might not be as well known. Please boost.

You are British and have turned 100 years old today. You get a congratulations card from the Queen = and in the card she invites you to join a top-secret club for centenarians. You arrive at the club, but there's only young people there when you arrive.

Developing this theory that Barbie isn’t rich and smart and talented and that’s why she has all these jobs and houses and clothing...

Instead she’s a drifting con-artist who moves from town to town pulling jobs that require her to be a different occupation for a short period of time.

Her multiple jobs and outfits are just a tool of her trade.

Twitter verlangt jetzt von mir den Zugriff auf mein Mikro, wenn ich Fotos oder Videos versenden will. Kein opt out.

Die Borke gehört einer Kanaren-Kiefer. Die Kanaren-Kiefer gehört zum Lebenserhaltungssystem der Insel. Ihre dünnen, langen Nadeln (wir nennen sie auch "Kuschelkiefer") fangen nachts Luftfeuchtigkeit auf, die gegen Morgen wie Regen zu Boden fällt. Auf diese Weise leisten die Kiefern einen erheblichen Beitrag zum hiesigen Wasserhaushalt.
