this story about @georgweizsaecker.bsky.social and @steffenhuck.bsky.social is irresistible so i had to break the no LinkedIn rule. try out the game dedicated to Georg by Steffen: steffenhuck.github.io/kicktext/

In the mid-1990s, I spent many long nights with Georg Weizsäcker playing a football manager game. We became mildly obsessed.

Eventually we won everything: the league, the cup, and the European Cup.

The program crashed.

Apparently, the developers hadn’t anticipated that someone might actually complete the full set. That was the end of our managerial careers.

I still have very fond memories of those nights.

So, thirty years later, I decided to build a tiny football manager game of my own. It’s called Kicktext, and it’s dedicated to Georg.

It’s much simpler than today’s management games, and even simpler than the one we played back then. But building a successful club is still quite tricky. At least that’s what I found.

If you do play it, let me know whether you manage to break this one, too.

Journals want AI input flagged. But no one is forced to flag help from colleagues or hidden labor in RA factories — restrictions on AI risk entrenching privilege instead of correcting it.

Consider two editors, A and B, at the same journal, equally qualified for assessing your paper. A has a desk rejection rate of 50%, B of 25%. They use equal decision rules *after* obtaining reports and are equally fast. Which one do you choose? And why?

While most #econsky journals have improved their game with respect to the speed and quality of their reviewing processes, some not only lag behind but are performing like the worst journals in the 1990s. What can we do as authors and peers? Name and shame?
