Nope. I'm happy to review for pay, and if everyone else does the same, the journal will either fold or pay up.
I mean honestly I do review sometimes, about as often as I submit. But if we would all just refuse to donate our labor to $billion companies, that would also work. We're just not united.

Important investigation- national policy bends to the will of billionaires if the Trump clan will make $ from it

Nah, refusing to review for multi-billion dollar corporations profiting off of scientists' free labor is simply letting Adam Smith raise the wages for reviewers. Over time, journals that won't pay will experience longer review times, and authors will naturally be led to submit to other journals.

This administration hates #science: it has fired disproportionately more scientists than other Federal employees, and is driving other scientists out of their jobs by illegally blocking Congressionally authorized funding of science.

The fact that Jared Kushner derives nearly all his income from the Saudi government while he purports to be negotiating issues of acute interest to the Saudi government allegedly on behalf of the US is simply swept under the rug by US mainstream media.

"hedonic syndrome"—that description seems much more apposite to me than "impulse control disorder"

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox, X, Facebook, Threads and Instagram are all owned by activist conservatives who are eager to repeat his lies and shut down liberals.
We are down to BlueSky and YouTube as non-oligarch controlled outlets. That's it.

This idiot chooses exactly the wrong moment to say something not only stupid, not only harmful, but also ridiculously insensitive about #MajorDepression .

I went and saw Project Hail Mary.
A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie.
Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that.
He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

Anyway, let’s all send our little emails and teach our classes and parent our children and cook dinner and drive around like the President didn’t just threaten to annihilate an entire civilization thus cutting off all diplomatic talks.

So many possibilities
- major depression but toughing it out
- pathological laughing and weeping a.k.a. IEED
- an actor / a sociopath whom the crying suits but then, say, after the desired audience leaves the room (cont.)

Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration Budget proposal would also curb federal payments for scientific publishing.

I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.

It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world.

Just so we're clear here, Trump installed his own defense lawyer as the Deputy Attorney General and had him lead the purge of the federal prosecutors who brought cases against Trump.
