#Researchers everywhere, including my #authors around the world, here is an article about how to determine whether a #journal is #predatory and is one that you do not want to submit your articles to. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Hat tip to Ivan Oransky: tinyurl.com/4z9btkrd

Still sick after the weekend. Feels like an upper respiratory infection. Do not like.

From @asindexing.bsky.social: Thinking that surely #book #indexing is something #AI could do? … ASI has published its statement on indexing using #LLM-based AI tools — these tools simply don't do a good job. For a quality index, use a human indexer. asindexing.org/ai-news/stat...

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses?
Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

I know we’re resigned after so many years of it but for real, social media giving high-ranking elected government officials the ability to harass individual private citizens by name for an audience of millions as a recreational pastime is actually Caligula shit if you think about it

jenn m. jackson @jennmjacksonphd.bsky.social · 4d

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

This was my brother Wally and me yesterday as he talked me through a batch of software updates to my PC. He lives in TX, & I live in NY State. Thank goodness for technology for chatting long-distance while seeing a kind face in real time. And thank goodness for a sibling who’s an IT professional! ❤️

One of the things that sucks about this era is having to think about the racists all the time, because they’re so boring. They have like, three tools in their toolkit, so we get to say things like “oh look, they’re using the hammer again”

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 4d

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude
