I plan to stay on Twitter
I plan to stay on @Twitter as long as a critical mass of valued friends and colleagues stay. If you're reading this, I hope that gives you one small reason to stay a while too.

A study on scholarly repositories’ availability
https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2207.12879
“[W]e harvested the content of four prominent scholarly registries and resolved over 13 thousand unique repository URLs. […] [T]he results show that about one out of four URLs from repository profiles in scholarly registries is problematic. Moreover, this result is a lower bound, as problems could be related to the content served after a successfully served request.”

Kings in the Mountain: Myths from Germany and Byzantium
https://www.medievalists.net/2022/09/kings-mountain-myths-germany-byzantium/
“[A] series of myths arose in various European countries about the return of a former great king, who is just sleeping, waiting for his time to return and save his homeland. These “king in the mountain” myths have appeared across the world, but have been most prevalent in Europe, featuring both mythical and real historical figures, such as King Arthur, Charlemagne, and King Sebastian I of Portugal. Here, we will focus on two of the most prominent of these myths: the long slumber and future return of the great Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick Barbarossa, and the last Byzantine emperor, Constantine XI Palaiologos.”
