arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

If you liked my musings here. I do a substack on vice presidents (topic of my PhD dissertation). It uses the vice presidency as a window into politics. Since we're talking about nukes, I've got an upcoming post about the Netflix movie "House of Dynamite"

The Blue Jays can still win if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing.

Anyone remember the Kinsella novel the Iowa Baseball Confederacy? Not the one made into the movie Field of Dreams (Shoeless Joe Comes to Iowa.) In IBC the 1908 Chicago Cubs come to play a local team in Iowa. Game goes into a temporal vortex and goes on endlessly. Just asking, no reason.

Look, I don't care how much you all love sports, you can't be posting like that as long as Donald has the nukes without at least mentioning you're talking about baseball.

Down the Hall heads into new territory—studying fictional vice presidents. This post looks at the VPs in Netflix series The Diplomat. Fun show, but it shouldn’t be taken as an accurate depiction of politics, which doesn’t mean it isn’t worth examining.

Today we’re analyzing the fictional vice presidents in the Netflix series The Diplomat. Is the depiction realistic? What does the depiction of the VPs tell us about politics? All this, and more in this ground-breaking installment of Down the Hall!

A footnote in the horrors of the 21st century, the anthrax attack, coming radio after 9/11, helped tip our national feeling from resolve to panic and set our decision-makers on a disastrous path.

It’s Throwback Thursday, so I’m sharing my thoughts from a decade ago—anthrax! It’s been mostly forgotten in all of the insanity this century has brought (so far!) But it helped move the needle towards crazy and maybe tipped the scales. Plus a VP angle!

Free Friday: Takaichi delivers her first policy speech, a blunt statement announcing the return of Abe-ism — with her own twist. Abe’s shadow, meanwhile, will be felt when Trump visits Japan next week.

Some light weekend reading about former vice presidents who later serve as ambassadors! Why this topic? Well, it’s to whet reader appetites for my upcoming analysis of Netflix’s The Diplomat in which (Spoiler Alert) an ambassador becomes vice president!
