I aspire to the Journal of Pubic Archaeology, though the Journal of Material Vulture is a viable second choice.

Similarly, I saw someone make the joke that BMC (a group of biomedical journals) could be shortened to BM:

BM Microbiology (this probably should be a journal)
BM Biology
BM Medicine (fecal transplants anyone?)
BM Infectious Diseases
BM Chemistry
BM Energy
BM Materials

Years ago I was paying for something at the British museum gift shop, and at the register was a stack of magazines called simply, BM. I explained to the clerk that that magazine would induce howls of laughter in the US.

How is “Sell” not on here already?

It’s practically an article of faith in biology.

Whereas "Cull" is a little more allegorical, I guess, apathy.

"Sell" showed up so many times in the Twitter thread I think folks here probably just didn't mention it again. It is definitely a good one though.

I also like "Hell".
