The journals I've AE'd for and most of the ones I submit to don't give a space for recommending reviewers... but it does take a lot of time to make sure there aren't any obvious conflicts with the ones I pick (or if there is that there are enough others without any). I wonder if some colleagues...

I confess to getting so deep down the rabbit hole of trying to find a relevant reviewer once that I lost the thread and sent the invite to one of the several people down the list authors. I noticed it about a minute after I hit send and recalled it. :-/

Elsethread... I'm assuming no one actually turned their accounts over to a chatbot, but that back and forth sure has phrases that read like they learned phrasing from one.

Number of things per day has been part of D&D for a long time, so I guess I'm used to that. I want to say I originally thought I would dislike short rest mechanics, but if so, they don't bother me now. But now I'm even fine with Barbarians getting another daily rage recovery when they short...

In this string of great holidays (Pi Day, the Ides of March, and St. Patrick's Day), don't wait until tomorrow to partake, the 16th is for St. Urho! And lest anyone want to quibble about historical accuracy, there is actually a (grape) vineyard in Finland...

Was in a hurry and thought I was grabbing Birdsong's Mexicali Stout. I'm not a pale ale fan at all, but this one of theirs is certainly drinkable.

The early scene in the Wizard of Oz was never the same after I learned pigs eat people... https://slate.com/technology/2012/10/when-pigs-attack-do-livestock-intentionally-kill-people.html ... even if some of those cases might just be for corpse disposal (as in an episode of Father Brown and...

South Carolina. I get up to DC and NYC now and then for work, but have only made it north east of that twice. Oh for the money to be retire and your the country.

Westbrook Brewing Co.'s Key Lime Pi. The start wasn't as sour as I was expecting and so was a bit disappointed, the bottom half was solid, will try it from a glass next time.

There are still a lot of classic mystery authors I haven't read yet, but what sets Marsh apart from Stout (US), Tey or Sayers (UK), and most of the adaptations of things on BritBox is how long she consistently spends building up the other characters before the main detective even shows up. In...

Well, yesterday. The existence of the Wold Newton Family. (Archie Goodwin's proposed connection to Travis McGee came up in a short blip in the 2nd issue of the Rex Stout Journal from 1979). There are several characters in there that I've never read. (And I am not a fan of the Wolfe being a...

Well, with everything else in the world, that exchange (else thread) at least put a smile on my face.

I wonder if it was a bit more about learning (or at least honesty) before much of the country decided to make college tuition a lot more expensive in exchange for massive state funded scholarships that required a B average to keep. Now instead of that disastrous semester making you have to work...

CNET and Inside Higher Ed don't think so... https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/companion-einstein-ai-tool/ https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/columns/just-visiting/2026/02/23/student-ai-use-demand-side-problem
