I get plenty of this sort of predatory publishing nonsense in my inbox but this is the first time I've received one from a top 1% university. Can you not?

Elon Musk (xAI, Tesla, SpaceX), Bill Gates (Microsoft), and Richard Branson (Virgin Media, Virgin Galactic) all named in the Epstein files. It's almost as if these tech-bro billionaire types are (allegedly) the worst people imaginable... 🤔 www.bbc.com/news/live/cv...; www.bbc.com/news/article...

Does e-cigarette use cause stroke? ~2 years ago, Gal Cohen & I alerted MDPI to fatal flaws in a published paper which claimed nicotine vaping causes stroke. This morning, the journal finally retracted the flawed article: doi.org/10.3390/neur... ... #tobaccocontrol #harmreduction #statistics

If you actually think that Zohran converted Trump to socialism, and not that Zohran is just another center-right corporate democrat like Fetterman, then you're going to be just as disappointed in Zohran as you were with Fetterman. Both parties hate you.

It's going to be delicious when Starmer, Streeting, Lammy, @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social, Nandy, Reeves, Rayner, & other genocidal ghouls running this soulless party are similarly ousted next election. They promised nothing and delivered less. Good riddance. www.bbc.com/news/article... #Caerphilly

It is very good news.

80 years ago today, the Soviet Union and its allies 🇺🇸 🇬🇧completed the largest pincer movement in history, obliterating nazi 🇩🇪 and its satellites 🇭🇺 🇷🇴 🇫🇮 🇮🇹. So many brave men and women sacrificed themselves to destroy fascism in Europe. Be grateful they did. #VictoryDay #VEDay80

Have you guys read the collected scientific articles by floe foxon? He's (?) local, and does these statistical papers about cryptozoological animals. Like, trying to disprove that Nessie is an eel because the eDNA doesn't support that.
