I guess I'm going to be that jerk and ask . . . how did a paper that makes really big claims about preprints while presenting no data in support of the claims get past peer review? And isn't it more than a little ironic for such a paper to be a complaint about preprints? 🔭🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2609.35787

i agree with the key point here and will add to it that there IS a reward, it’s knowing you did one right thing instead of walking around plagued by the nameless shame that afflicts all men who are determined to live the most frictionless lives possible

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Tuesday past I saw my doctor for a check of my medications & supplements. He discontinued one medicine then asked questions about my eating. That produced a printed diet which he recommended, a 'longevity' diet to replace mine. When does longevity kick in? I'm 94.

La neutralité journalistique n'existe pas.
Texte complet : 

Ce qu’il vient de se passer en Allemagne est un signal clair : l’extrême droite avance, avec un programme raciste décomplexé , climatosceptique, anti sciences, etc.

Par conséquent, être incapable de dire clairement que l’extrême droite est un danger, c’est grave.

C’est valable pour certains médias « écolos », pour certaines ONG, associations etc. Ne soyez pas irresponsables et dites clairement les termes. Sinon assumez clairement de faire partie du problème.

Chez Bon Pote, notre ligne est claire et n'a pas bougé depuis le début : un média anticapitaliste et contre toute forme de racisme. La neutralité journalistique n'existe pas : nous sommes contre l'extrême droite parce que ce serait un cauchemar pour l'écologie, les humains, les animaux, et plus globalement pour la démocratie de notre pays.

A l'avenir, avant de soutenir un média ou une asso, demandez-leur de clarifier leur position sur l'extrême droite. Vous aurez quelques surprises…

These grifters are paid by organisations to advance an agenda. They have been laying the ground work to use the WNBA as a test case for this agenda first by silencing people who know better including using money and by building a narrative that builds up to this conclusion over time.
