Excellent, Amazon. Readers that like Southeast Asia history books are also interested in the Very Hungry Caterpillar!

Why does IPSA say 'Job Offer'? You are not offering people a job, you are announcing a job is available, inviting people to apply.

If you encounter a manuscript that includes references to articles that do not exist, is that evidence of fraud? Or could it indicate something else---an accident, an oversight, something innocent, not worthy of the term "fraud"? My position is that it is fraud. Here is why.

World Market seems confused about territorial autonomy arrangements...(South Tyrol is an historically Austrian, culturally German region with self-government in Italy)

I came across this review of a classic 1960 anthropological study in southern Thailand. A one-paragraph review in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society. Just wow- the reviewer drips with ego.

Last month, two journals asked me at the same time to review the same manuscript, although the author modified them so they were not identical. Both journals rejected the manuscript for 2x dipping and AI. Today, a third journal asked me to review the same manuscript. Sigh.

On the reviewer side- Was asked by Journal A to review an article, then by Journal B the very next day. The articles were 80% similar, random rewording, likely by AI. Journal A rejected and chided author. Journal B: Still wants me to review it!

So I agreed to review a manuscript for a journal. The next day, another journal asked me to review something on the same topic. The manuscripts were 80% identical, many words rearranged. Sufficed it so say, both were rejected. I hope this is bad mentoring, not intentional dishonesty.

Really enjoying my ICE train ride in a private compartment with family through Germany. I think @deutschebahn.com thought my kids were younger, as our compartment is covered in cartoon trains and has a play area. I love trains in Europe. C'mon Canada and USA!

The article lays out the concept of territorial autonomy, derived from Latin American and Nordic areas, and applies it to cases in Asia- Lumad in Mindanao, Taiwan, Sabah and Sarawk, Papua, Northeast Asia, and more!

OMG- @raulpachecovega.bsky.social has reportedly passed away suddenly. I remember his warm encouragement and great discussions when I was a graduate student at UBC. I have never met anyone that does not love him.

Great thrift store find, I don't know Stevie Wonder's work well. At the cashier, I noticed a great detail- his LPs have titles in braille. And on the inside is a message only for braille-literate fans, which I cannot read. Well done!

www.reuters.com/world/asia-p... Fascinating from the world of Japanese coalition politics. First female PM is far-right, pro-Thatcher. Komeito left the 26 year old coalition- says it was about graft, but my guess it is about remilitarization.

I never want to close myself off to other political views. An old friend suggested the right-wing Babylon Bee is as funny as the @theonion.com. I checked it out. It is not- 'jokes' involve poor folks, migrants, women suffering. At least I tried...

Explained to my kids this morning that what is going on in LA is different than a protest. This is not communicating disagreement with govt action, this is seen by Angelinos as an invasion, govt abducting members of the community.

Weird. Staying overnight in Oceanside CA. Lots of police and military. Turns out JD Vance is across the street, for a wedding. Must be tuckered out after supporting the far right AfD in Germany.
