Look out for a forthcoming special issue on the manosphere in CDS, from the @mantrap.bsky.social group.

It seems that the end of teaching has freed up time for writing - we've received 30 submissions in the last 10 days!
I'm working through the backlog, but there will be break at some point, given the time of year. Hopefully people will be patient.

we've received our 501st submission for 2025 (10 more already than the total received in 2024).
Is the increase in submissions driven by GenAI?? It just might be, dear reader...
the last 7 editorial decisions for submissions; only one wasn't rejected for AI content.

We have just rejected our first submission where the use of Gen-AI to rewrite the article was acknowledged.
Given the way that they commandeer public water resources and contribute to climate collapse, we do not think that there is an ethical way to use such tools.
