I’m happy to report that my sojourn in pay-to-play urology is over. I’m reverting to my old ways and will publish more dodgy stuff in archaeology and anthropology. Why do they have an IF? Must be all self-cites
The marginal cost of spamming people is effectively zero, but fake editors have a better chance to get past the filters than Nigerian princes or Russian beauties.

I get a lot of academic spam from predatory journals & fake conferences. Most of it never makes it past the filters, but this machine-written chunk of nonsense will always have a special place in my ❤️. Probability! should definitively become the standard way of greeting academic elders.
The year is 2022. For the third time, a Le Pen is proceeding to the run-off for the French presidency. And unlike 2002 (when her father stood) and 2017, Marine Le Pen has a chance to win this time. Without doubt, a Le Pen presidency would upend French, European, and even global politics. This is…
