Is anyone else with a birdsite account seeing more right-wing, unsolicited tweets from accounts you don't follow? I've had to delete a few and block at least one in the last 24 hours.

Some strange stuff going on over there.

Ok, this is cool: a team of biologists worked out that turtles can talk. The hatchlings even talk to each other in the egg to coordinate their hatching. Turtle talk is at frequencies not very audible for humans and it can take hours for some species to reply to each other.

“Had we had a bit more expansive imaginations, we might have caught this earlier,” said Karen Bakker, a fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

Turns out the key to solving the mystery of why Roman cement lasts longer than modern cement... was to stop underestimating ancient people.

"...samples of Roman concrete contain small lumps known as lime clasts that are not found in modern structures.

While these have previously been explained as arising from poor mixing of the mortar or other errors, the team suspected there could be other reasons."

Why is this news? Does everyone not do this? I purposely set recurring meetings to end six months out as an implicit test of importance; you’d be amazed at how many people are happy to drop meetings but didn’t have a polite ‘out’.

Then again I’d consistently get in trouble at Twitter for not attending enough meetings and constantly revisiting how I handled recurring meetings.
