I have been approach by an editor of #JOSS (https://fediscience.org/@joss@fosstodon.org) who told me about #JOSE (https://jose.theoj.org/ - for which I could not find a Mastodon handle).
The idea is to provide a low-hurdle academic reward for open access educational material -- with a particular computational emphasis.
Thing is, that you hardly get an academic “paper” if you develop teaching material. So, this might be appealing for some folk here. 
MSNBC finalized its revamped schedule on Monday, 
promoting progressive anchors Jen Psaki and Symone Sanders-Townsend to primetime
while booting its largely non-white weekend lineup of hosts off their namesake shows.
Anchors #Jonathan #Capehart
#Katie #Phang, and #Ayman #Mohyeldin are losing their eponymous weekend shows.
Capehart and Mohyeldin will instead be one of multiple hosts of separate editions of "The Weekend" at 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., respectively,
while Phang will remain with the network as a legal correspondent with no anchor slot.
Its other Miami-based anchor, #José #Díaz-#Balart, will also lose his show, though he will remain as host of NBC’s weekend edition of Nightly News.
Psaki will replace Alex Wagner’s Tuesday through Friday 9 p.m. hour in April after #Rachel #Maddow completes her five-day-a-week stint during President Donald Trump’s first 100 days, MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler announced on Monday.
Wagner will stay on as a senior political analyst

As 2024 began, Trump’s money problems were mounting:
Biden started the election year with almost $120 million in the bank
—nearly three times as much as Trump.
The ex-President, with four criminal indictments and multiple civil lawsuits pending,
was also paying tens of millions of dollars in legal bills through his political operation.
The main super pac of his Republican rival Nikki Haley, meanwhile,
outraised his own by nearly $5 million in the second half of 2023.
In January, Trump posted a threat on social media to the donors defecting to Haley,
whom he had taken to calling Birdbrain:
“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp.
We don’t want them, and will not accept them.”
On February 16th,
the same day as Peltz’s dinner in Palm Beach,
Trump’s business was hit with a
$355-million judgment,
plus interest,
in a New York civil fraud case.
At a fund-raiser in Dallas, in March,
Biden taunted his rival about his dire financial state, joking,
“Just the other day, a defeated-looking guy came to me and said,
‘Mr. President, I need your help.
I’m being crushed with debt. I’m completely wiped out.’
-- I had to say, ‘Donald, I can’t help you.’ ”
But Trump’s cash crisis was misleading.
By mid-March, after Haley dropped out and the ex-President clinched the nomination,
his fund-raising comeback was already under way.
Many rich Republicans might have preferred to move on from him,
but they were still, above all, right-wing partisans.
They had flip-flopped on Trump before
-- they could do it again.
Later that month, Peltz hosted Musk, Wynn, and a few others for a Sunday-morning breakfast.
This time, Trump was not the subject of agonized debate among the billionaires. 
He was the guest of honor.
Trump’s effort to win back wealthy donors received its biggest boost on the evening of May 30th, when he was convicted in Manhattan on thirty-four criminal counts related to his efforts to conceal hush-money payments to the former adult-film actress Stormy Daniels.
After the verdict, Trump walked out to the cameras in the courthouse and denounced the case brought against him as “rigged”
and a “disgrace.”
Then he departed in a motorcade of black Suburbans.
He was headed uptown for an exclusive fund-raising dinner, at the Fifth Avenue apartment of the Florida sugar magnate #José (Pepe) #Fanjul.
Elon Musk secretly funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into an effort to turf a Democratic prosecutor in Texas, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
The Texas resident and Tesla and SpaceX CEO was the chief financier of "Saving Austin",
a group that distributed incendiary material attacking District Attorney #José #Garza during the Democratic primary,
including fliers that 
baselessly accused him of “filling Austin’s streets with pedophiles & killers,” the Journal reports.
Alongside that tagline, the fliers contained an image of the Travis County DA 
next to a bloody teddy bear and the warning, “The next victim could be your loved one."
Musk’s participation may have been more personal than political due to one key factor:
his reported hatred of investor and philanthropist #George #Soros, a supporter of the DA.
The progressive Soros, 94,
has donated millions to political action committees in support of district attorney candidates
who advocated for reforms to the justice system and greater accountability for law enforcement.
That includes Garza’s 2020 campaign, when the Soros-backed Texas Justice and Public Safety PAC spent $450,000.
Soros did not contribute to this year’s race.

Many GOP billionaires balked at Jan. 6. They’re coming back to Trump.
Trump’s team has used a soft touch with the billionaires and has shown more sophistication than some expected
At the center of some of the discussions has been top Trump aide #Susie #Wiles, who often comes armed with data and is viewed as “impressive and professional,”
Trump is also growing his fundraising team in Palm Beach, where Republican National Committee employees and others are expecting to move to raise money.
At Wiles’s suggestion, Trump has engaged in “#call #time,” dialing billionaires himself. In the past, he had been resistant to such measures.
Trump could desperately use the cash infusion as his campaign and the RNC trail Biden and the Democratic National Committee, and as he faces growing legal bills.
Next month, he is planning a fundraiser hosted by a range of billionaires, including
oil tycoon #Harold #Hamm,
sugar magnate #Jose “Pepe” #Fanjul,
real estate mogul #Howard #Lutnick,
megadonors #Rebekah and #Bob #Mercer,
wealthy business executives #Todd #Ricketts and #Warren #Stephens
and real estate magnate #Steve #Witkoff,

For more than two decades, #San #Jose leaders have been stymied on how to connect a 3½-mile gap between San Jose Mineta #International #Airport and #Diridon #Station.
They may have finally found the answer: an army of robotic shuttles ferrying passengers between the two travel hubs — with a price tag of up to $500 million.
Despite skepticism from transit enthusiasts and local bus unions, the San Jose City Council initially approved the project that could get underway by 2028 and comes as the city’s airport and Diridon Station are experiencing increased demand with no efficient public transit option to link them. It currently takes two public transit stops or an Uber to make the journey
