Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵

Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

It looks like Russia has sunk some vessels/barges by the pier of Novorossiysk so that Ukrainian naval drones would not be able to enter the port.

The catch is that the remains of the Russian Black Sea Fleet have now barricaded themselves inside the port and cannot get out.

I know I should just brush this aside as the having of opinions by a professional opinion-haver, but it is as offensive as it is ignorant to suggest that people in Poland, of all places, are in the grip of a delusion for fearing the very real possibility of Russian invasion.
What are you even talking about! I am saying it is a delusional fantasy to suggest Russia is going to invade European countries like Poland, Germany or indeed the UK, which is the insane drivel currently being promoted in support of a disastrous arms race.

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering.

Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed.

At least two suspects are in custody.

When the winner of the Nobel peace prize smuggled herself over the water and out of Venezuela to attend the ceremony in Oslo this week, her allies called the Pentagon to ask them not to arbitrarily murder her. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

And the thing is, there's little cost to insulting the EU. Elon Musk doesn't go after the Chinese Communist Party because doing so would destroy his business. But Europe has independent courts and checks and balances and it's not a dictatorship so he can send mean tweets with little consequence

Jon Gelius på Dagsrevyen nå stiller spørsmål til norsk opprustning som om han jpbbet for russisk TV, eller var en del av den russisk-sponsede "fredsbevegelsen" på 80-tallet: "Bidrar ikke Norge nå til et opprustingskapløp?" Hvordan sikrer dere at denne satsingen ikke fører til økt spenning?"

USA styres nå av en kriminell bande av mentale tenåringer som tror verden er et dataspill.
"Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight 'would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,' said Huntley, now director of the national security law program at Georgetown Law."
SCOOP: For the Trump admin's Sept. 2 strike targeting 11 men on a boat suspected of ferrying drugs, SecDef Hegseth gave an order, officials say, to kill them all. When two men were still alive, orders were given to strike again, finishing them off.

What Trump has made me realise is how much the post-Cold War relationship hinged on shared values rather than shared interests. Trump is illustrating how, whether on Ukraine and Gaza, our interests diverge and, absent those values, there's not much holding us together.

America is vast. That fact in itself has shaped& defined its politics and culture. And it is really far away. Sounds trivial but it matters. I have always thought of myself as an Atlanticist. The current transatlantic rift is shocking. But America was never our Appendix. How arrogant to think that.

Punktet i "fredsplanen" der USA skal megle mellom Russland og NATO er avslørende. Vår viktigste allierte stiller seg på sidelinjen, er ikke til å stole på. Savner kriseforståelse. Europa må bygge seg opp til å stå på egne ben. Kommer ikke i mål før 2028, men kan håpe at det valget gir oss mer tid.

Fun conversation just now with one of my favourite journalists.

She: "Can we talk about the new Trump plan for forcing Ukraine to surrender?"

Me: "What makes you think this is a Trump plan and not a Russian info op that Western media have all fallen for?"

She: "Hold on. [clickey click] Ohhh..."

Ja, BBCs fremstilling av Donald Trump 6. januar 2021 var misvisende. Men vi bør ikke glemme at det Trump holdt på med var et halvhjertet kuppforsøk. Jeg har lagt ut det relevante kapitlet fra min bok Trump og fascismen, som oppbyggelig helgelesning. snoen.substack.com/p/om-trumps-...

The Norwegian Forsvaret has a really nice YouTube-channel with historical films. Including this gem detailing how No. 333 (Norwegian) Squadron of the Banff Strike Wing plans and conduct anti-shipping strikes (also featuring Catalina ops and RNZAF Beaufighter).

Surely the truly progressive solution to AI making up non-existent citations is to get AI to write the cited imaginary works, so they are no longer non-existent
I checked the reference list on this now-retracted article, and almost NONE of the referenced articles actually exist! Total AI slop!

Who were the peer reviewers? Did an editor look at the article?

It was published online 30 April, and the retraction didn't happen until 3 November. Yikes.
"Following publication, concerns were raised by a third party regarding the accuracy and validity of many of the references in this article ... the Editor and the Publisher no longer have confidence in the content presented".

Ser fleire saker om fredsprisen som refererer at Trump seier han har stoppa 6-7 krigar. Det er ikkje berre lov å ta med at det ikkje stemmer — det er nødvendig. Poenget med nyheitssaker er å spreie fakta, ikkje løgner. At noko er i sitatform betyr ikkje at det er unntatt frå faktasjekk.
