I must say, "Fig tree in Africa. Credit: Mike Rowley" is one of the shittest photos I have ever seen. Wow.

If you (or phys.org) are posting a rewritten press release for research results that have not yet successfully undergone peer review, you need to say so at the outset.

Write them, they can use all the complaints they can get.

My first paper was https://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/9512055v1 which eventually got published in Physical Review E but the abstract for a talk I gave at the March Meeting of the APS caught the eye of a reporter at Science News so I had the cover story one week, I think before the real publication.

The magazine printed a photo I took of Ron Maimon crumpling paper on the sofa of my office with an apparatus that I invented. Ron never completed his PhD on string theory but he eventually became a notorious 9/11 "truther" and conspiracy theorist.

		I wouldn't recommend complaining.. bellyfeels only Thus said, PR's can look like narcissism .. those who call it out are some of the prigs Uncle Paul warned us about :) Schizotypes too.. it's the peer-unreviewed grandiosity i suppose. what would Kohut say? Wish I'd discovered Ron earlier. His overflow throwaways make me want to mine his conspiracy theories :) hope somebody addressing his emotional holes RN If I had to guess your ex a Borderline. Glad dang concurs on the method.. (?) if that kinda helps/works it'd be worth internalizing Equivalently I'd have to deal with the (situational?) emo holes associated with Stripe before I can internalize "their" (alien) way of thinking[0] :) but maybe you already have more experience there: https://xcancel.com/patrickc/status/1848393059559502177 Stripe acquires Stablecoin s-u Bridge* Fun thing of his to equate htsc with sc. It's one of those things nobody has to or will shout about when they've got it [0] with Daub as a bedside reference/biblio https://www.adriandaub.com/s/NOTES-What-Tech-Calls-Thinking.... https://www.adriandaub.com/books/what-tech-calls
