sincerely believe this should be a career-ender for everyone involved, from the editor downwards
Holy fucking shit this is a *real* image from a *real* (presumably peer-reviewed) paper in [Nature] Scientific Reports.
How many people had to sign off on this figure?
The editor, one hopes, the reviewer(s)? The copy editor?
What had to happen for THIS to get published?

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

This whole article is a bit of a disaster. And it's very difficult to find other published work for the author. Strange! 🧪

Or, indeed, how hard is it to google the word “co-morbidity”? I may suffer from anxiety and constipation if I literally *can’t walk*. The DWP do not list the conditions in order of severity in their statistics.
I was livid the other week after stumbling across an article which stated that people were getting motability vehicles for anxiety & constipation. The disinformation is infuriating & we all know why it's happening.
How hard is it to check eligibility criteria = higher rate mobility = can walk ≤20m?

also the model choice was already reduced by the coalition government in 2012 - for exactly the same spurious reason - and afaik it’s made no difference at all
Don’t want to be too moralistic about this, but it is an active disgrace what people are doing to a profoundly liberational scheme that costs relatively piddling amounts on the basis of a couple of right wing shitposters misrepresenting it on Twitter.
