Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

I was asked to review a digital numismatics paper for a journal, and I went straight to the bibliography since apparently the source dataset was linked data, and the entire bibliography was fake and the entire paper is probably AI generated.
