mjSince I use them mainly as search engines, & am theory building, there's a thin line that must be walked between continuity & #novelty.
The results have gotten better, I can get (real) papers suggested by teasing out un (/little) -known connections. But they seem stuck on flattery now: always Yes&.

Beware of "experiential" events that are just razzle-dazzle. Instead, design events that provide truly useful and meaningful experiences.

N-gated Hacker News📚 FrameBook: Because nothing screams #innovation like cramming modern #tech into a prehistoric artifact! 🚀 Let's take a moment to appreciate how someone turned a once beloved, now glorified doorstop into a Frankensteinian #novelty.

WIST QuotationsYou see, happiness ain’t a thing in itself — it’s only a contrast with something that ain’t pleasant. That’s all it is. There ain’t a thing you can mention that is happiness in its own self — it’s only so by contrast with the other thing. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain’t happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.
Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]

"Splish Splash" is a 1958 #novelty #rockSong performed and co-written by #BobbyDarin. It was written with DJ #MurrayTheK (Murray Kaufman), who bet that Darin could not write a song that began with the words, "Splish splash, I was takin' a bath", as suggested by Murray's mother, Jean Kaufman. The song was credited to Darin and "Jean Murray" (a combination of their names) to avoid any hint of #payola. It was Darin's first hit.
