Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.
Oh wow
Yeah, preprints aren't peer reviewed research
Sigh
This is nonsensical. Libraries buy huge numbers of books you wouldn't otherwise sell. They're a massive discoverability vector for authors. The reasons behind the declining author earnings are not hard to guess. People read less, have less $ to spend, +media is being consolidated by megacorporations

I've long been vocal about how two-faced AG are.
Reminder: Authors Guild are in partnership with an AI Licensing company. They're trying to funnel members to this company in the guise of 'earning more' from their books. There's no way to extract titles from an LLM meat grinder.
Humans started cooking food "at least 50,000 years ago and as early as 2 million years ago."
It's asinine to suggest that our ancestors, who literally had to gather, hunt and process their own food, didn't know any better and should have been eating raw.

Holy heck, *Masters of the Universe* (= He-Man) is the MOST FUN! A warm+lovingly unserious sendup/deconstruction of the original—that delivers in live action exactly the gorgeous adventure-visuals us ‘80s kids have dreamed of for decades! Rad soundtrack, too. A wacky-sweet romp, not to be missed!🐅🗡️
For the first time in 50 years, the Minnesota State Fair has a new cookbook filled with blue ribbon winning recipes.
Humans have only eradicated 3, maybe 4 diseases. Smallpox was the first
Rinderpest was second.
We got a whole strain of flu, pretty much by accident, during lockdown/masking.
We're still waiting for the final final death call on guinea worm disease, thank you Jimmy Carter et al.

Ugh. Not good reporting about unrefereed preprints. Sabrina Tavernese at NYT says two studies were "published," one of which was "published in the National Bureau of Economic Research" (not a journal) the other is on SSRN (not identified).
