In your heart, you know "On Avery Island" is the better album, but the number of people in your life who would even begin to have that fight with your is down to one, and she's threatened to go to her sister's if you ever bring it up again.

A man moves his arm up and down. Why? He is pumping water. Why? To replenish the house water supply. Why? Because the water is needed. But also: to polish that lot off. Why? Because they are the baddies. But also he taps out "God Save the Queen" while he operates the pump

There's a Holy Roman Empire joke about stablecoins I don't know how to complete: they're neither stable, nor coins, nor...something else. But they're here, and here's a recent ABC by @ninaecon.bsky.social about them:

This, for the record, is what goes into a footnote. It’s the key part of the research process where I examine the practical, methodological, ethical implications of my sources before I join the stream of interpretation. It cannot be outsourced to an LLM.

If you've recently had a bad experience with your proofs at a Springer Nature journal, this might be the reason. I described the fun @mattch13.bsky.social & I had this summer with Phil Studies in the comments of this post. Have a read, and add your own story #philsky

Like the Nile Perch of scholarship: except, the Nile Perch actually did have a proper home before it was let loose to destroy ecosystems
Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things
