Are you sure you don't want a roller bag (or a bag w/ wheels in general)? Have you considered the layovers, the delays, the sprinting through the airport to make your connection? The next practical choice is a backpack.

Social media scholars: Why do I miss Twitter (pre-Elon)?? lol @teachguz.bsky.social Is it because social media is so fragmented, or is it more that I'm older and have to be more professional (e.g. no more streaking videos)?

Sora Transform text and images into immersive videos. Animate stories, visualize ideas, and bring your concepts to life.

Just checking in to see if this is still a thing. Personally, my new favorite social media is Sora.chatgpt.com Banter through images is my preferred method of discourse!

Fellow social science and technology scholars… Do we have a safe word for when we see humanity…solving the Fermi paradox?

Ok, but I don't see anything here about surviving the existential crises that occur when you've been awake for 3 days straight to figure out how your work advances the entirety of human knowledge.

Ok, so like 3 of my 64 students have "vaguely maybe" heard of Bluesky... and yeah... I feel old and nerdy right about now. But at least I'm not alone. If you are reading this, you are probably old and nerdy tooπŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦³πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦³πŸ’ΎπŸ“ΌπŸ“ΊπŸ“Ÿ (these are emoticons under "old" πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜˜)

Should we begin by appreciating the fact that this article was shared on an AI-driven social media platform? lol! I ❀️ when I see the β€œme-search” in HMC research! πŸ˜†

I support this idea. I was thinking we need a cross-academia coalition - All parts uniting as one to form Professor Megazord or Professor Planet?
