Memories of a walk in nature, 11 years ago, in search of a Silent Sunday, a bit of peace in a tumultuous and turbulent period of my life that would soon come to an end, although I didn't know it yet.
This photo holds a profound significance, known only to me.

Hey #Socialcoop friends, a question: what would you think of us piloting a Personal Data Server for Bluesky under the co-op? No commitment, just an experiment.

Did art exist before modern humans? New discoveries raise big questions.
Scientists are finding ever-earlier examples of artistic expression in the archaeological record that reshape what we know about the cognitive abilities of our archaic human relatives, such as Neanderthals.Tom Metcalfe (Live Science)

I enjoy much of the bardcore music I've found online. This is "Running up that hill" by Kate Bush done in Early Middle English. Later Middle English you would have some hope of deciphering!

Counting citations hasn't been a reliable measure of scientific impact for a while, especially on platforms like Google Scholar that compile info from random documents. Hyper-authorship, predatory journals, etc have all contributed to the problem.
This preprint just drives home how important it is to measure scientific impact more carefully and without reliance on automated metrics
Google Scholar is manipulatable

Hey I like this! Where do I sign up to buy citations, you ask? Here you go:

service while undercover as a fictional author, and managed to purchase 50
