🧪Now Illinois. WHO's next ?
The Illinois Department of Public Health sidestepped the federal government this week by independently joining the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). It is the second state to do so, after California joined the network last month. trib.al/i2YAAVj

So, Epstein even did it to appear in Nature 🧪 . Unfortunate that one is the public occasion to consider that scientists are finally really connected to the real world. And btw we should consider cleaning our mess as well.
At least 30 scientists, including famous paleontologist Jack Horner and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, have been named in the Epstein files so far. Once again proving that shitty men think with the wrong head no matter how smart they are.

The 50 wealthiest families in the UK own more than 34 million people combined.
That level of inequality is totally unsustainable.
A wealth tax isn’t radical - it’s inevitable. And the Green Party will keep making the case.

No matter what city ICE chooses next, Minnesota showed how the people can turn back any invasion with sustained, widespread, nonviolent, civil resistance.

Come on. Are we still having fake 🧪 citations ? I mean (and I m so sorry about this take) recent sota ai tools dont even shit anymore with it. Did the guys worked with chatgpt 3 ?
Anyway that should not be a problem, as the minimal required is to open the doc to see how the ppl make the point, no?

What is wild to me is the defense, BY THE NEURIPS BOARD, that fabricated citations do not mean "the content of the papers themselves [is] necessarily invalidated"
It does. It very much does. What do you think citing other work is for? What do you think writing a paper is for? What do you *think*?
