publicly name them.
One of the most serious problems in academia is that there are basically no consequences for sloppy peer review. What can the journal do? Ban them from reviewing again (the horror!)
Springer-Nature statement
“Whilst the details of peer review are confidential, we can confirm that the article underwent two rounds of review from two independent peer reviewers, supporting an accept decision.”
How am I now expected to believe that two people looked at the paper twice and DGAF?

the time perhaps for severe penalties. Authors named and shamed, and likewise reviewers publicly identified.
Even the the damn twitter card for this Nature Scientific Reports is clearly AI Slop.

I'm thinking of starting a business selling books & writing supplies out of the back of a station wagon.
I'll call it: "The Non-Stationary Stationery Station(wagon)"
How did we get words with almost identical spelling & pronunciation with such different meanings?

Their video simply reiterated the Uniform Code of Military Justice's requirement to only carry out LAWFUL orders.

Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing
Especially any veterans?

Watching videos of hoplite reenactors, I am struck by how many of them use the 'a-hoo' grunt from 300 or a 'huh huh huh' marching cadence, but none of them do the *actually attested* things of the "alale!" (ἀλαλή) battle-cry or singing a song (a παιᾶν).
