Israel makes it through to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest (although the booing will be dubbed out).
Have always wondered, why does the Middle Eastern country Israel take part in the Eurovision Song Contest anyway?
Now I'm guessing that, as Hitler & Nazism and Mussolini & Fascism were European innovations, Netanyahu and Likud and their brutal ideology (Zionism?) fit right in?
P.S. I've news for Netanyahu (and for Putin too), Europe has moved on since the Bad Old Days and the European Union, born from the trauma of the Second World War is a much more preferable role-model for states' best practice nowadays.
So what would it take to publish a paper here on mastodon and do public peer review? Just an agreement to use a few hashtags like #Paper, and in replies things like #PeerReview, #Accept, #Revise, #Reject? Some automatically generated web and pdf output summarising the thread? Submission to something like Zenodo to give a DOI? Linking user accounts to orcid to verify identity? Only real problem I see is that even with markdown and LaTeX, Mastodon posts are not well suited for longer posts with multiple figures etc. Maybe fine for short results though?
I wonder if there's a one-size-fits-all solution to having to sometimes turn off a revoltingly long list of creepy #tracking entities, when there's no 'reject all' button.
