Academic Journal Publishers Antitrust Litigation

As detailed in the complaint, the defendants’ alleged scheme has three main components. First, an agreement to fix the price of peer review services at zero that includes an agreement to coerce scholars into providing their labor for nothing by expressly linking their unpaid labor with their ability to get their manuscripts published in the defendants’ preeminent journals.

Second, the publisher defendants agreed not to compete with each other for manuscripts by requiring scholars to submit their manuscripts to only one journal at a time, which substantially reduces competition by removing incentives to review manuscripts promptly and publish meritorious research quickly.

Third, the publisher defendants agreed to prohibit scholars from freely sharing the scientific advancements described in submitted manuscripts while those manuscripts are under peer review, a process that often takes over a year. As the complaint notes, “From the moment scholars submit manuscripts for publication, the Publisher Defendants behave as though the scientific advancements set forth in the manuscripts are their property, to be shared only if the Publisher Defendant grants permission. Moreover, when the Publisher Defendants select manuscripts for publication, the Publisher Defendants will often require scholars to sign away all intellectual property rights, in exchange for nothing. The manuscripts then become the actual property of the Publisher Defendants, and the Publisher Defendants charge the maximum the market will bear for access to that scientific knowledge.”ALT

This is incredibly important. Each of these three issues are almost universal across academic publishing.

These are all companies I work with every day and let me just say, destroy them. Rip their dicks off

Rats are absolutely adorable and I’ll hear no words against them. Their little grabby hands are perfect: perfectly for holding your finger, perfectly for holding goldfish crackers, perfect for holding their sweet little tails.

Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump

Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump:

The Department of Homeland Security launched a failed operation that ensnared hundreds, if not thousands, of U.S. protesters in what new documents show was as a sweeping, power-hungry effort before the 2020 election to bolster President Donald Trump’s spurious claims about a “terrorist organization” he accused his Democratic rivals of supporting.

This clone baby is some kind of half-nephew or something who’s not going to grow up with the same…

Cary

This clone baby is lunch yum

specialagentartemis:

Scenario: a sample of your DNA was taken, popped into a cell, and cloned into a baby, gestated in a sci-fi artificial womb vat. The first time you or anyone in your family meets this baby is after it has already been born out of said vat. You can hold the newborn if you want, it’s up to you, but it is a living breathing baby that was cloned from your DNA and is genetically identical to you.

I love clone philosophy. Give me all your philosophy of clones

This clone baby is some kind of half-nephew or something who’s not going to grow up with the same life experiences I did, but the same bullshit genetic predispositions towards being short, hairy, bald, and needing both braces and glasses.

good morning everyone have an absolutely furious mongoose

It’s cuter when you recognize that the lion with visible spots is a juvenile. There’s a very high chance the other lion that runs over to investigate is the MOTHER.

The first lion is asking for comfort because she was given a big spook!!! and she needs mommy to tell her it’s safe and ok!!!! (What’s cuter is that mommy clearly reassures her, and goes on to take the parent role of ‘deal with the scream rat in order to protect my large and easily frightened daughter’)

this is all in all an adorable video 10/10

SHUT

actually you’re completely right that the original lion is a juvenile, but it’s a male! his size and the fact that he still has some baby spots left also indicate that he’s a very YOUNG juvenile, equivalent to a human preteen!

so really what’s happening here is a fantastic mother dashing outside with a broom to defend her 13-year-old son from the angry opossum that he just found in the trash can while taking out the garbage.

And quite clearly neither know what to do, really.

I love how mom looks into the camera like “are you SEEING this shit?????”

Homestead Aurora

by PDDTV

Duluth photographer Tone Coughlin captured northern lights scenes from Monday night’s stronger-than-expected solar storm. “It peaked around 10:30 pm and was so strong you could see it with the moon lighting up the foreground!” Coughlin wrote in the YouTube description of his video. “Another wonderful light show.”

Gun Brain

by noreply@blogger.com (Atrios)
You start firing your gun in a crowded area if a) you don't care about killing people and b) you know there will be no consequences if you do.
“Greg wasn’t even in the same train car when he was shot,” Nicholas Liakas, an attorney representing Delpeche, told The Post Tuesday. “He was one train car over when he was shot. You wonder, were the officers just spraying bullets?

“If the individual had a knife and was so close that officers feared for their lives, if he was close enough to be an immediate threat, how did you miss him so many times and shoot people in the next train car?

“He clearly wasn’t right on top of them based on the pattern of the ballistics,” Liakas said. “An innocent bystander on his way to work was shot in the head.”
Main subway "threat" is cops.
