Remember those German academics who developed a fraud detector that actually did nothing but look at whether the authors used institutional email addresses, had international collaborators, and were affiliated with a hospital?
And then they concluded, based on this "detector", that a high fraction of the papers out of Asia and the Global South are fraudulent?
And then they got a glowing writeup in Science?

Turns out there's data on all this.

For those that Spotify.. I made a playlist of Library Music GOLD.
What is a 'Library Music'? I hear you cry.
That's easy.. It's just music, made for all the other things that need music.. like Movies, TV Shows, YouTube, Adverts and websites. Over the years, all the same studios, composers & musicians (including me) who made the music you could buy in the shops ALSO made library music, & soundtracked your life on the sly. Sneaky buggers.

The most common gender affirming surgery is breast augmentation -- in cis (non-trans) women.
The regret rate is around 20%.
Gender affirming surgeries in trans people have around a 1% regret rate.
Guess which people need approval from a mental health provider...
Man, if you want to see #ChatGPT get all snippy, just ask it "About how much should the average person spend, monthly, on psychoactive drugs and commercial sex?"
What a little prude.

This fascinating timelapse of an orb-weaver spider building her web is even more remarkable considering she removes it before dawn each day and constructs a new one every night to avoid daytime predators.
