Time to stop reading The Economist. A story that looks like dark factory denialism completely discredits the magazine.

With regard the foregoing #toot, I append this #PSA.

Every morning I read the "links" over at #NakedCapitalism, which I consider to be the most important source of news on the web. It's a #CrowdSourced project. Readers send in the important links they've encountered and Naked Capitalism posts them with commentary.

There are a lot of X links in there, but Naked Capitalism isn't an X participant. They do the dirty work so you don't have to be on there. So, here's what I ask:

1. Support Naked Capitalism. You can find them here: https://www.nakedcapitalism.com

2. Then, use Naked Capitalism to help build out the #fediverse by #ripping X content and freeing it to #mastodon unattributed. My preferred tool is here: https://twittervideodownloader.com/en/

3. Finally, and this is important, do a little happy dance knowing your one of the many who are helping the world become a better place by sticking your foot squarely up the ass of #ElonMusk 🥳

For fediversers interested in #science and the rigor of scientific #research, this #nakedcapitalism article is a weekend #mustread 🙏 #PubPeer #RetractionWatch

I knew of the problems with plagiarism & zealous dissemination of pre/non peer-reviewed research papers, much thru electronic socialization of respected journal platforms, which had contributed to rising pseudo-research, but was flabbergasted by the actual depth & breadth of it.🧐🫨🔬

Back when I was still a subscriber, The #Economist was weekend reading much looked forward to. My years-old guilt pangs from unsubscribing it have finally been resolved by this clear-eyed "review" of that hollowed #newspaper written by #SatyajitDas for #nakedcapitalism. Made my day.😊
Oh, how I still miss the Far Eastern Economic Review!🤭 #MustShare #mastoread #FEER
