  Looked in spam folder today and the subject "APC Based manuscript submissions" caught my eye. I'm not in the journal publishing space so I've not seen such outreach before but I'd guess it might be common. Nor am I in the want to/must publish somewhere that looks like an academic journal space so as to be spammed by Article Processing Charge collector journals/businesses (though won't be surprised if I see such everywhere starting now).

  RE: https://fediscience.org/@petersuber/116363707108490631 My quick read is this version (vs one in last congress) has some minor improvements in substance and procedural strategy, making it a bit more likely to pass, but is still terrible policy that needs to be killed. There are of course lots of terrible policy but this one is bipartisan and involves copyright and standards so may be of particular domain interest to some people here.

  RE: https://phpc.social/@ramsey/116498260367895651 Two simple (in a good way) licensing developments I appreciate the last months.

  RE: https://social.coop/@mako/116277827341287780 Wiktionary as the hero is the least taboo topic in the world for me. Infotaining papers, recommended to all.
