Major news: the highly corrupt @elsevierconnect.bsky.social journal STOTEN finally lost its IF!! The journal was under the hands of the corrupt editor & #papermill #fraud Damia Barcelo. Will Elsevier finally retract all the shit it published? Clarivate finally delisted this corrupt journal.

Larry Summers still teaches at Harvard. Imagine what it feels like to be a woman walking into this guy's classroom after reading those Epstein emails. From this Crimson story: www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

OTD in 1998 Ukraine demolished 1st of 44 Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers at Pryluky air force base as part of a written promise that we would never invade them.

It gets nuttier Cornell professor wants a faculty colleague fired for inviting me to lecture at Cornell 🤡 Remember when these guys ran climate science? Good times Glad they are over 🤓

Not speaking to any particular paper, because I’ve read plenty and I think economics is doing great stuff, but in general science suffers when methods precede question. When we try to use the method in vogue we tailor questions to match it, often Limiting the social impact of our work.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

A foreign country bribed the president with a bar of gold. Where are my Originalists at?

The levy on foreign students is an export tax. Has anyone in government wondered why countries don't usually impose export taxes?

For some things, Twitter is better. Whether true or not, Clinton can do the funniest.

Jeffery Epstein was giving Lavrov advice about how to deal with Donald right before the meeting with Russia in Helsinki. Kind of gives fresh context to the images taken after Donald’s meeting with Putin, doesn’t it? Also validates why it’s important not to elect people who can be blackmailed.

A reminder that in 2022, President Biden signed the “Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act,” eliminating the statute of limitations to file civil action for federal sex offenses. Seems relevant.

Electricity prices are high in Europe due to high sales taxes. Taxes are 22% of residential bills on average, with a high of 49% in Denmark. Amsterdam is trying negative electricity prices to encourage electrification and a shift away from gas heating and appliances. www.euronews.com/business/202...

and also from environmental* orgs on “overpopulation” *they’re not in the environmental movement, they’re in…another movement

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.
