Yeah. I still don't trust him to have any ability to realize what makes him look bad. There is SO much Stern audio...

Merrick Garland was dragging his feet on the process of acting on the issue and Biden respected the process rather than sending everything to every news desk editor in America.

THAT is a pretty big change, but you are right in that the other issues with academic publishing have been around for a while.

Not true. Actual scholars are also now having to compete with AI slop published without editing, fact-checking or peer review. And librarians were having to start navigating around that crap even before the B&T collapse.

It also used to have Star Trek reruns.

I haven't watched it on years for fear that it might be showing The Watch Season 2.

Funny how we all just “have to” accept AI as progress even if it’s janky and either has demonstrated no improvements to productivity or outright tanks it, but we never had to accept remote work despite every study showing it improves productivity AND workers lives.

Hmmmmm

Just imagine a figure climbing out of the water, gasping.

I just presumed it was a multiverse of Bonds.

Then again, that one ends with everyone dying when the casino is blown up and Woody Allen going to Hell.

So... Best Bond Movie Ever!
