Anyway a journal editor recently emailed me a rejection that said they "could not find anything encouraging to say" about one of my other preprints-also-in-submission manuscripts lolsob, it takes me 1-3 business years to recover from such things, maybe someday I will have a sabbatical that's just about working through my manuscript backlog

Another recent rejection: I worked for three weeks in the evenings making pages of revisions and turned in a several pages long detailed inventory of changes, line by line documented. The reviewer said they *did not bother to read the new manuscript* but were certain that I *did not make any substantive changes* and that I should be summarily rejected after the revise-and-resubmit because I didn't do all of their changes which *other reviewers disagreed with* (they were methodologically wrong)

"We describe the frequent nesting of non-native European paper wasps (Polistes dominula) at two solar facilities... conducting nest censuses to further investigate population density and nest siting behaviour. Active nests were found to occur at a density of 10–23 per hectare of solar facility, and paper wasps had a preference for nesting in sheltered metal torque tubes compared with the more exposed undersides of photovoltaic panels."

I hate to say this, but Apple rumor sites need not write stories on everything Mark Gurman says.

Tim Cook could fart during a recent executive team meeting, then news of it would be on the news sites.

Are we sure this movie isn't called "Polycule On The Moon"?

Everyone's familiar with the Bit Bucket, but only the BBS folks on the U'ni Net are familiar with the similarly-inclined Space Moose.

And it looks like the Space Moose ate tonight.

“Experts on 100 years of strongman rulers say that a buffoonish-looking authoritarian is actually the most dangerous kind, because at the end of the day they can and will still govern as a king.
