The way one learns on Mastodon about the efforts of someone to make this place at least a little more relevant by providing a bridge to Bluesky: the timeline is full with "how can we block this?!", "Make this opt-out!", "if this entails the implementation of reposts, this is the end of everything"... 😔

People who write #ResearchGrants: do you write about

1. projects that you’ve already almost completed (hiding the fact that they’re almost completed, so that you can use the funding for completely new projects), or
2. new projects that you haven’t really started yet (for which you might just have some preliminary data)?

Do you think 1) is unethical? Do you think 1) is necessary? Do you think 1) has the highest chances of funding? Please comment :)

A clean record is a happy record. 🤓

What’s your method? Mine is distilled water, vacuum, then cleaner, vacuum, then distilled water with a different brush, vacuum.

I'm at the stage of writing a book when I keep finishing it.

I finished it yesterday.

Then today I found a problem, rewrote parts, and finished it again.

I'll keep finishing until I have to give it to my editor.

Books are never finished. They are abandoned.

(Next comes the part when I say, "I'm never writing another book. That usually lasts about 6 months.)

Just finishing a paper with a colleague and he noted that the paper is older than his daughter 😂

So much to love about the front-matter of the early issues of the Sitzungsberichte der königlich preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin.

First, the fact that they list the addresses of the residences of the members. I can just see how the day after a lecture, an enraged dissenter appears on your doorstep and demands a discussion.

Second, the titles and their distinctions. I mean, I would be pretty upset if I was listed as a "Geheimrat" and someone else is "Wirklicher Geheimrat".

In The Court of The Crimson King, the documentary about the band King Crimson on tour (or perhaps how impossibly annoying Robert Fripp can be to work with) begins its tour of U.S. theaters today. I hope to go!

So you would be fine with a behavior like the official app for feeds? Loading the newest 20 posts and then showing a gap to load more posts in between?

I can think about doing that, but I'll certainly not keep the current and this new behavior. So, a choice needs to be made.

"Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable."
The Writings of Oscar Wilde

Irish poet and playwright Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was born #OTD in 1854. He was a spokesman for the late 19th-century Aesthetic movement in England, which advocated art for art’s sake, and he was the object of celebrated civil and criminal suits involving homosexuality and ending in his imprisonment.
