The strain on scientific publishing 📄:

The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?

Myself, pablo, @paolocrosetto and Dan have spent the last few months investigating just that.

I bought Wolfenstein since it’s the uncensored version now and it was cheap.
Works surprisingly well on SteamDeck.

Volkskrant en NRC waren wat lauw over de nieuwe roman van Tommy Wieringa. Ik begrijp dat niet. Het si een prachtig boek en het komt ongetwijfeld (terecht) vandaag hoog binnen in de CPNB Top 60. In Vlaanderen alleen lovende recensies en het publiek staat voor Nirwana in de rij.

@JeanMarcvanTol ah, dank! Ik las die recensies ook en was heel verbaasd. Niet dat ik het boek al gelezen heb, maar ik heb van Wieringa gewoon nog nooit een slecht boek gezien. Dank voor de heads up dus (en misschien even nog @ boeken @ a.gup.pe gaan volgen en taggen :)

Start each with the same first lines below:

MORNING SUN…

or

SEASHELLS….

Post haiku in comments, as ever enjoy mulling over the first line & considering your options at different points during the evening or day depending on your time zone.

Look forward to reading your haiku - seeing where these lines take you.

Please don't ban this account!

Probably because Rebel News is well known right-wing propaganda outlet run by a racist fuckface with a tenuous grip on reality, when they aren’t just outright lying.

Odd thought - is there a book review site that focuses on the simple yet not so simple question of which edition of a book is likely the best? Ie comparing physical print to ebook to audiobook and coming up with an opinion as to which edition is the best (and why) relative to the others.

Perhaps with nuance like some ebook editions might be recommended only if you use a color screen / tablet for graphics heavy works but not if you use a B&W ebook reader

Frans de Waal - Moral behavior in animals.

Yes, humans too. 😊

Moral behavior arises, when social animals live together.

https://www.ted.com/talks/frans_de_waal_moral_behavior_in_animals

This study became very famous and we got a lot of comments, especially anthropologists, economists, philosophers. They didn't like this at all. Because they had decided in their minds, I believe, that fairness is a very complex issue, and that animals cannot have it.
