Sometimes I feel like these platforms are like my music collection:

first I had tapes, then I had cds, then MP3s, now a subscription.

First I had message boards, then MySpace, then Facebook, then Twitter, then Instagram, and now blue sky.

This is just hilarious to me. Threads is suddenly realizing that…GASP…people actually want to see the accounts they follow and not a bunch of other stupid shit.

So we are the algorithm? I guess we are still the product ;-)

Teach me, wise one.

Cracking under the pressure of the first post on a new (to me) social network.

The best thing about being a prof: living vicariously through your students & experience the joy of "1st 1st author paper accepted" again & again.

The worst thing: experiencing your student's anguish at comments made by Reviewer 2.
