  1. "Is the staggeringly profitable business of scientific publishing bad for science?"

    ".....Even scientists who are fighting for reform are often not aware of the roots of the system: how, in the boom years after the second world war, entrepreneurs built fortunes by taking publishing out of the hands of scientists and expanding the business on a previously unimaginable scale. And no one was more transformative and ingenious than Robert Maxwell, who turned scientific journals into a spectacular money-making machine that bankrolled his rise in British society. Maxwell would go on to become an MP, a press baron who challenged Rupert Murdoch, and one of the most notorious figures in British life. But his true importance was far larger than most of us realise. Improbable as it might sound, few people in the last century have done more to shape the way science is conducted today than Maxwell."

  2. 7. I was going to say it is in the title but on second glance it might be misconstrued given the nature of the person in question.

    "Hunter Biden finally admits infamous laptop is his as he pleads for criminal probe"

    "So much for, the laptop “could be” mine.

    First son Hunter Biden’s lawyers admitted late Wednesday that the infamous laptop the now-52-year-old abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop in the throes of his crack cocaine addiction does indeed belong to him.

    The revelation came in a petulant letter from Hunter’s lawyers seeking a criminal probe into what they called, attempts to “weaponize” its contents."

    (Best to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt, Hunter old chap)

  3. BBC pro an oil co?? 2022 Shell profit - £39.9Bn(BBC), £68Bn(GB news). One article seems an apology - strange for the woke BBC?

    1. Not strange at all if you do a bit of digging. There's usually a reason.

      " ....Sunak.....at first glance appears to have a fairly clean register of interests. However, Sunak and his family are intimately linked to the fossil fuel industry through his wife Akshata Murty’s stake in the transnational IT services firm Infosys, one of whose top clients is oil giant Shell."
