the French are having so much fun being anti-American again
French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

The aI ScieNTist - grifters gonna grift 🙃
Taylorism is a management philosophy based on using scientific optimization to maximize labor productivity and economic efficiency.
Here's the result of making the false Taylorist assumption that the output of scientific research is scientific papers—the more, faster, and cheaper, the better.

obviously it was pea-hacking
No-one has ever been able to replicate Gregor Mendel's observations of pea plants. They're a little "too perfect", lacking even random statistical noise that would have been expected from small sample sizes.
