Researchers publish paper about the promise and perils of post-publication peer review (e.g. Pubpeer). Turns out the paper has several hallucinated citations, which are pointed out on... Pubpeer.
Commenters have also spotted that the last author (and EIC of the journal) has 11 retractions. 🤷♂️

SW quarter of France this morning experienced Tmin of 17 to 23°C ! 😱
Yes, some 'tropical nights' in November! 🥵
This is far more than what we can normally expect during the afternoon mid-november in these regions... insane!

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Uncles are always getting roasted on here and I'm tired of it. The only misinformation I tell my nephew is that he's good at drumming and his mother loves snakes.

As a theoretical cosmologist, I'm frequently asked "what is the benefit of the work you're doing for people's lives?" Nothing I work on makes money or cures disease.
There are a few different answers one can give, at various levels of "convincing" / "actually relevant to why the work is done."

#AcademicSky I'm trying to compile a list of academic conferences (> 1.000 participants) that were supposed to be organised in USA in 2025/2026 but that were canceled or made hybrid. (I saw some such instances here I think, but hard to find them again)
Let me know if you know of such conferences.

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.
Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Some years ago, in my town, a local politician threw in the trash the meager properties of a homeless person.
He got condemned by everyone, including his own very rightwing party, and fined for using the wrong trash container.
No one defended him.
Trieste is very far from California.

1) to argue that private jets are such a small percentage, therefore they should be left alone
2) to argue that until private jets are not dealt with we shouldn't do anything about the remaining 97% of emissions from passenger aviation

Very interesting new report on emissions from private jets.
They account for just about 3% of total aviation emissions, and they are overwhelmingly concentrated in the US (65% of flights) theicct.org/publication/...

The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season.
We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!
