On 6 May 1933, the Institute of Sexology, an academic foundation devoted to sexological research and the advocacy of homosexual rights, [transgender people, and women,] was broken into and occupied by Nazi-supporting youth. Several days later the entire contents of the library were removed and burned. The institute was initially occupied by The German Student Union, who were a collective of Nazi-supporting youth. Several days later, on 10 May, the entire contents of the library were removed to Berlin’s Bebelplatz Square. That night, along with 20,000 other books across Germany, they were publicly burned in a symbolic attack by Nazi officials on their enemies.

Wasn't this the plot of a book?

For those worried this research would be lost, it has apparently already been saved as part of a bulk archive by an r/DataHoarder user.

That's good. We should all seed the torrent.

Good idea, I'll try to get a torrent client working on my Raspberry Pi for these types of documents.

Edit: Set up qBitTorrent and am downloading and then seeding it. Thanks for the tip! According to a reviewer, you want to use this link instead, because the autogenerated one has some missing files?

Reviewer: chilimachine - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - February 3, 2025

Subject: Use full-20250128-cdc-datasets-USETHIS.torrent file in the file list

If you're seeding made sure to use the torrent file named "full-20250128-cdc-datasets-USETHIS.torrent" instead of IA's auto-generated one. The auto-gen one is missing files and a bit buggy.

I am begging anyone on this sub, begging. Help me get FEMA data. It is just as vital. Please.

Would the journals be under any obligation to accept these bad-faith revisions or retractions?

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The for-profit journals that are asking for more money, your asking what might motivate them?

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They already have the money for the original paper, do they charge for retractions? I don't know, but I'd assumed not.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

I'm sure they'd love to charge more for retractions.
