Finally, if you can get through the paywall this piece from earlier in the week illuminates how the experience above is just a tiny part of an industrial-scale, global, and sector-wide catastrophe of AI and citations to nonexistent papers in academic publishing bsky.app/profile/mile...

The Cosy and Comfortable Liberal-Democratic Political-Media Class and the Darkness Ahead Who will – truly – hold the line with the prospect of a more extreme politics coming to Britain via the ballot box?

Truly living one's values & doing what is comfortable are different choices. Will our liberal-democratic journalists & politicians be willing to scrutinise the establishment they are a part of to ward off darker forces coming to Britain?

I'm not so sure. It's worrying.

Tortoise and the Heir: The 'Slow News' Media Firm Behind the Observer Sale and the Curious Company It Keeps As the Guardian announces the 'sale' of the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media, Carole Cadwalladr takes a closer look at its moneymen

'There's money behind money' - this is what is so alarming about the Observer sale to Tortoise. Where's the independence from corporations and oligarchs? It looks like we're moving from client journalism to a captive, concierge media

The WSJ has made a doc about Liz Truss.

I reviewed her book for @bylinetimes.bsky.social in April.

Her anti-blobism is an attempt to revive the politics of the John Birch Society.

First, let’s definitely support them in whatever way we can πŸ‘πŸΌ
Second…the cover art is grievously accurate and a prescient warning to the world that the U.S. is part of dark and dangerous coalition, rather than a force for good or, as the other GOP idol, Reagan, called it,”a shining city on a hillβ€πŸ€’
