The present looks different.Asking people to stop drawing inference from these stats as if they're about the present& asking authors to put time period in their title and abstract!🙏 https://t.co/bphnK6Hy7H— Anna Stansbury (@annastansbury) December 31, 2024

The best journal article titles tell you what the study actually found, rather than being a teaser to make you read the paper. Here's a good example: "Spaced mathematics practice improves test scores and reduces overconfidence" https://t.co/iXxdkAgYPM ($)— Dylan Wiliam (@dylanwiliam) December 31, 2024

The material here is partly derived from the "History of memetics" chapter in my 2011 "Memetics" book - and partly derived from my memetics booklist.
Speculations on the Future of the Scientific Method
The following essay was published 20 years ago (January, 2006) on my blog The Technium. I edited the intro here, but the speculations are basically unchanged.

An update on leap seconds – Tony Finch
It has been a couple of years since my previous blog post about leap seconds, though I have been tweeting on the topic fairly frequently: see my page on date, time, and leap seconds for an index of threads. But Twitter now seems a lot less likely to stick around, so I’ll aim to collect more of my thinking-out-loud here on my blog.
