👇🏻We are experiencing the same deluge and it is overwhelming and unsustainable.
benpatrickwill.bsky.social Ben Williamson @benpatrickwill.bsky.social · Sep 6
We're experiencing an unbelievable deluge of submissions. At our journal we got ~200 per year in 2020. Last year it was 600. This year it's 800 with several months to go. So that's why we're slower to get stuff out for review.

Here's what I sent them. Not my greatest writing, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Please submit your own comment today before 11:59 pm ET.

I have read that you're planning to prevent people under 65 from getting new COVID vaccines. I am writing to demand you walk that decision back and allow anyone who wants to get COVID vaccines as we have been for the past four years. I got COVID in the first wave in New York City, before the vaccines, and I never want to get it again. Without the vaccines, COVID will spread more quickly and each infection will be more severe, with more people developing long COVID. If you deny us the right to make our own choices and get vaccinated, you will be responsible for the sickness and deaths of potentially thousands of people. You will also be responsible for destroying the economy and security of our country. Let us make our own choices and get the vaccines we want and need.

Can’t make Trump’s unfitness for office the talking point: that’s “boring”. So, gotta go with what gets the attention now, and that’s arguing that Biden is unfit. Once again: there are legitimate questions about Biden, but the attack dogs are more interested in controversy than enlightenment.

Richard Lynn’s racist national IQ data sets and papers that use them should be retracted. New piece in Stat News from @dsamorod.bsky.social, @stairwaytokevin.bsky.social, @jedidiahcarlson.com, James Lingford, @rebeccasear.bsky.social, Cathryn Townsend, and me
Journals that published Richard Lynn's racist 'research' articles should retract them
Richard Lynn's work has been repeatedly condemned for using flawed methodology and deceptively collated data to support racism. It's past time to retract the studies.

I love how the New York Times, which ran more than five dozen articles on Gay and almost single handedly maintained the drumbeat for her resignation, switches into Neutral Observer Mode here.

Excerpt from NYT article “Newspaper articles about Dr. Gay and the board kept coming.”
