Experience isn't always a good thing. For instance, I can't see this Portuguese Tax Authority website and not giggle. My assumption: the designer did a mockup in Balsamiq, sent it to the devs who implemented it blindly. The style is a mockup style, nothing like the website. But it's live 😅

Did Portugal and Spain just forget to pay their electricity bill?!
🇵🇹 Portugal’s power grid operator said the outage was caused by a ‘rare atmospheric phenomenon’ in Spain.
💡Meanwhile, Portuguese Development Minister says the power outage may be due to "cyber attack".
🇪🇸 Train traffic in Spain is at a complete standstill due to the power outage, - AFP

Instead of that, write one of Bluesky's wonderful threads! Even if it's just two posts, write more, not less.
But leave your links intact. Won't someone think of the PRECIOUS LINKS?

If a drug was prescribed to a patient, that would mean its underlying research was impactful in society, right? @altmetric.com can now see if it was recommended in Clinical Guidelines, which is a nice proxy.
