Its not how much you publish, it's how good your papers are. Hear that LFC? Also, the correct answer is the relationship is inversely proportional without suffering from singularity effects.

I just found out Researchgate says I have as many citations as my colleague who just got full prof. For only 10 papers. But one was a ringer (450 alone) back in 95, when I was only one of many coauthors. Its not how much you publish, it's how good your papers are. 450 citations on one paper?!?? Whooooa.
For shits and giggles one of these days I'll have to look Chem PhD and myself up. Our citations in aggregate probably don't even approach that figure.
Where you publish doesn't hurt, either. A pub in Science or Nature1 is a bigger deal than one in Infection and Immunity2 or The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry2,3, which is a bigger deal than one in Vaccine2 or Tetrahedron Letters3. 1Neither Chem PhD nor I has published in these periodicals. 2I'm published here. Funny thing, I just pulled up the listing for that 1995 Vaccine paper (the meat of my dissertation work, just myself and my advisor as authors) in PubMed. There are 19 papers citing it; I admit to being surprised that the five most recent of the citations are in 2018, 2018, 2020, 2020, and 2021. I honestly thought that would have dropped off by 2005 or so. 3Chem PhD is published here.

That was a paper by the experts in the field of how riparian buffers intercept nutrients fouling the Chesapeake. One author was my mentor, and invited me on board. I managed to actually contribute meaningfully by doing the heavy lit review on hydrogeology that they didnt have time to do. So I made myself useful, and learned a ton. Started my career, although it was another decade before I actually went for higher and deeper. Rest are bonafide citations. Journal impact factors are around 1-1.5, so not widely read.

Those folks cannot, simply cannot ever criticize their own side without somehow also saying the other side is just as bad or worse. It is a pivot point they all use whether elected official, pundit on right wing media, or average commenter on a news website.

Great, so a private army using psychics to perform extra-judicial rescues. What could go wrong?

Remember Secy of State Raffensperger of Georgia who stood by Georgia's results. Well now he thinks an "inspection" of the election in a county is necessary to restore public confidence. In other words, he thinks he's going to prove that there was no fraud and that will end the discussion. I agree with the WaPo columnist here: People supporting the Big Lie don't want the truth. They want to keep the Big Lie in the public eye.

I think Raffensperger is willing to do anything that is legal, even if undemocratic, to steal the vote. Years back he was involved in one of Georgia's infamous targeted voter purges i.e. it overwhelmingly targeted minorities. Now this. I don't think he remotely believes it could "restore public confidence" because he's not a moron. This is a way to throw some bread to the MAGAts who want him unseated without facing potential prosecution.

Dammit! Judge Amy has even lesser sense of humor than Judge Judy. Meredith was satirizing the other crazies. The gun was part of the satire. Don'chya get it, judge?

This one is for BactPhD and Traveler. That's got to be frustrating.

It turns out that getting and keeping power are the only things that ever mattered.

I came across this little beauty this morning. If you substitute Ceasar for "a politician who shall not be named" sounds pretty close to current events.
Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new, wonderful good society' which shall now be Rome, interpreted to mean 'more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.'

So the COVID relief bill that Trump signed had a weird provision requiring the gov't to report on UFOs. OK, so somebody slipped something into a bill, hardly unheard of, and either nobody caught it or they decided they liked it. The bill was bipartisan, Trump signed it, and and either nobody noticed or complained.
Now that's drips of info are coming out the right-wingnuts of QAnon, InfoWars, and their like are melting down and calling it a liberal plot. Actually multiple liberal plots.

Wait I thought COVID was the hoax designed to distract us from the evil doings of the Deep State...now it's UFOs and fake aliens from outer space?

Extremists, including the Proud Boys, are taking over local GOPs from the bottom up and they're not remotely averse to using threats and physical obstruction to keep the people they view as RINOs out of meetings.
Here's the game plan and it's working.

In case people still think the QAnon crackpots are a small fringed of the GOP ( paywalled).
I highly suggest looking at the breakdown of the results. They also have breakdowns by news source and religion.
