Ok idea:
Goodreads but for academic papers. Then you can have 10,000 papers on your 'currently reading' list, and you can add all your friend's papers to your 'want to read' list.
And a new category: 'read the abstract' list 🙃
Surely someone already invented this?
An MDPI journal today sent me an "invitation" to act as a guest editor for a special issue. I am already annoyed about the particular journal because of the way it's clearly gamed the metrics.
I replied & told them I would not work for publishing companies for free. This usually gets rid of them 🙃
The responses here are 😘

In the car with Miss 11 today we were talking about anecdotes. Once she understood what they were she said "oh, like the chaplain at my school has heaps of anecdotes. And those guys from Quantitude..."

Christmas doggo 🎄🐕
That feeling when you log into the journal submission system to check on the status of a revised paper and it says:
"Awaiting editorial decision"
And you don't know if the editor has already gone on Christmas break
So you could be waiting
For a month

The number 1 movie when you were ten years old will define your 2026…
[Hm, maybe I shouldn't have played this game 🤔]
