Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky Synopsis. Social media has become widely used by the scientific community for a variety of professional uses, including networking and public outreach. For

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!

"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

An Alternative Top 100 Just some theorizing about how to make the top 100 a little less Hotness and a little more classic. This list uses AVERAGE RATING + LN (# of VOTES). There could be errors since we only have average ...

Just another relaxing night watching the Edmonton Oilers play.

It’s Florida so the rules don’t apply.

watching an Oilers playoff game

This is thoroughly depressing. I never imagined the Oilers would come out this flat.

Maybe the worst playoff game I’ve seen them play in two years.

I don’t hear anyone talking tonight about how this series is a classic in the making.

Amazing tennis from both Sinner and Alcaraz. Incredible comeback by Alcaraz. One of the best Grand Slam finals I’ve ever watched.

Off to a tie break in the fifth set. What an epic final.

So bad.

It felt like a whole game in 20 minutes.

No, we’re not extinct! 🦖

#ULethbridge Library is open during the summer semester and ready to serve you!

Also, be sure to check out some great reads from us and our friends at #LethbridgePublicLibrary! lethlib.ca

Let’s gooooooooooo!

That stung.

Really enjoyed this great chat with @mollythomastv.bsky.social on @bigiftrue.bsky.social

Thanks for posting that. I got the spelling wrong in an early paper I wrote and was gently corrected by a reviewer. I’ve always been curious about the history.

University Hall, the Centre for the Arts and the University Library are closed to due to an unforeseen power outage.

And now Hyman goes off. Maybe Season 2 of The Pitt can just take place in the Oilers dressing room.
