'Kowaltowski is one of countless researchers who report they’re too strapped to pay these article-processing charges (APCs), which can reach more than $12,000 per paper and are becoming the dominant business model for scientific publishing. Publishers tout fee waivers or discounts for researchers in need—but obtaining them is cumbersome, authors say. That’s a worry especially in the Global South, but even some authors in wealthier countries say they end up paying APCs from their own pockets.'

Q: Is the pay-to-publish model for #OpenAccess pricing #scientists out?

A:Yes
it’s further entrenching inequality by blocking smaller and younger researchers from being able to publish in glamorous journals, reducing grant success creating a #MatthewEffect

'It was inevitable that holding Olympic events in a river in which French people had recently threatened to shit en masse would be problematic.
Just weeks ago, this very column wondered if “getting dysentery” was about to become an Olympic event and that seems to be happening after the swimming part of the triathlon was repeatedly postponed because the Seine is just too dirty.'

Cory Doctorow: «We call it “generative” but AI art can't generate the kind of turnover that aerates the aesthetic soil. An artform that can't be transgressive is sterile, stillborn, a dead end.»

And this is how Vladimir Putin has welcomed the Russians exchanged in the prisoner swap:

Judging by what has been published about them the group consist of an FSB linked assassin, a family sleeper cell (disputed if SVR or GRU), a GRU agent, a hacker (son of a Duma MP), a businessman guilty of insider training, another GRU linked spy and smuggler/FSB colonel (more info on them here:

'Reeve chronicles the alt-right’s rise in “Black Pill,” a chilling and insightful account of the throughline from dopey internet memes to Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, the seductions of QAnon and the storming of the Capitol. In Reeve’s telling, Charlottesville was the fulcrum between a before, when hateful ideologies were coalescing, largely out of view, and the after — which we now inhabit. If you want to understand why it increasingly feels like liberal democracy is failing, and why white supremacy, misogyny, antisemitism and homophobia are ascendant, read this book.'
