Interest crossover moment: watched The Hobbit movies and just started the Lord of the Rings ones today. Bilbo is walking through Bag End when I exclaim, “The joints are different!”

Good point. Maybe it could be a per publisher transaction system to give a broader coverage of fields.

I try to decline fast, except when it's a MDPI or similar predatory publisher. Then I just sabotage the whole thing. (Unless it's Agronomy or Remote Sensing)

Has any scientific journal tried this? Why would this not work? (Sure, it might result in some people being added to the writing team bc. they are active reviewers, but that would be a good thing.)
How about reciprocal review credits? In order to submit a manuscript you would need to provide 5-6 good reviews? Avoids gaming the system and rewards peer review.

When charity is compensated it ceases to be charitable and loses its moral qualities. There is reams of literature on this from the study of care.

Trying to fix the commercialisation of academia by commoditising peer review is like trying to cure termites with a controlled house fire.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Politicians constantly claim that the government must “live within its means”, just like any family.

In this video, I explain why the household analogy is not only wrong — it is the foundation of austerity.

I am grateful for @adamjkucharski.bsky.social. He takes such care to deconstruct a claim made by the director of National Institutes of Health on excess mortality during the pandemic. We need sober analyses more than ever right now, even amidst the madness.

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

Maybe somebody should ask Grok about who's the best at rigging elections.
More evidence that the Trump/Witkoff “peace plan” for Ukraine came straight from the Russians - it uses Russian syntax.

Siinä on se haaste nyt tässä päivityksessä, että kaksi isoa kaupunkia puuttuu, eli se aggregoitu ei ole mitenkään järkevä. Katsotaan, mikä trendi on kohta. Ruotsissa tultu jo alas huipusta.

Oh, that was what the CDR in the climate scenarios was. Everything is ok, if our kids and grandkids just, you know,remove the CO2 we put to the atmosphere. Sounds fair.
Children Do Removals (CDR). Surely there must be something better...

Where are global CO2 emissions heading?

Middle-of-the-road? But just because we have followed the SSP2-45, SSP4-60 path for 10 years, does not mean we follow it for the next 70 years.

Policy & technology have pushed the world away from the high-end, but 2.7C in 2100 & rising is not a good outcome!

Tämä ILn vastaus ajelehtimismallin kaljakelluntasovelluksiin on teekkarihuumoria parhaimmillaan.
Pitää paikkansa – ennusteella on monia sovelluskohteita. Tällä hetkellä se seuraa pinnalla kelluvia, massattomia ajelehtijoita. Mikäli kellujalla on enemmän massaa, löytyy käytetystä ohjelmakoodista valmiudet myös tämän tarkasteluun.

By the end of January 2020, it should have been clear that the virus posed a "serious and immediate threat" and "urgent planning" should have started, it says. Instead, February 2020 is described as a “lost month” with life continuing almost as normal across the country.
