@daedalus they were pretty awesome and haven't changed much since :blobcatderpy: had no time to peruse #theCrux yet cos too much outdoorsyness 😄 how are you ?

I have a lot of great Long Reads in this week's issue of #TheCrux to keep you entertained over the break.

It's time to compile the last issue of #TheCrux #newsletter for the year!

I won't be talking about the ongoing :birdsite: meltdown but I'm not sure what to write for my final column of the year.

What would you like to hear about?

also why was there no #TheCrux tag yet?

Really liked this in #TheCrux

The Strength of Weak Ties
- A paper (by Mark Granovetter |1973 American Journal of Sociology) about how networks of people might work, drawing a contrast between strong ties (people who know each other very well and like each other a lot) and weak ties (people who don't know each other that well, but maintain contact).

Weak ties appear important for information flow between #people. #StrongTies bind groups together, and #WeakTies act as "bridges" between #groups.
