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?

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

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.
