It is not very reliable to use a component to build a model that has “no support from observations”.

But it has support from observations? It's an alternative explanation for the red shifts we observe from far away sources.

ΛCDM has also problems. For example that two different methods of calculating the Hubble constant do not agree, or that the James Webb telescope found galaxies, that are too old. The latter was the motivation for the paper and gives an explanation for it, contrary to current models.

Yeah, it is not generally a good idea to just throw in more components, like here a scalar.

Well, guess what the Λ in ΛCDM is? They just put it in there to be able to fit the theory to the observation. And it's absurd to say, that they would've found that in the LHC, when they also did not find dark matter particles, even though they are actively looking for those.

Does it still explain galaxy rotations? What about other cosmological data, like equation of state parameter and such?

They are aware of this and mention it already in the abstract:

It remains to be seen if the new model is consistent with the CMB power spectrum, the Big Bang nucleosynthesis of light elements, and other critical observations.

It's quite common for research groups to do this, because their work is quite complex and takes time. They proved that their approach might have some merit and now other groups can help them going forward with it.

That's a different thread though. Alejandra might not have been aware of it, like I was.

Where?
Some person: Nazis burned books on transgenders
Rowling: That's a lie. Alejandra: Here sources proving, that nazis did indeed burn books, including a German court ruling that explicitly stated, that nazis moved against transgenders too and the denial of that is Holocaust denial.
Rowling: But they were not the first victims and they didn't burn all books.

Like, her whole argument is completely off. She is the only one, that ever mentioned "all books" and "first victims".

I don't have a Twitter account anymore, so I can't look for the whole thread. The "not the first" tweet is an answer to someone replying to this tweet here.
Edit: found it:

No, she moved the goalpost to "they were not the first", her original statement was completely different.

There are still people, that want to have kids at some point.

I think there are some studies around, where people eating breakfast have an easier time to control their weight. They let them eat the same calories on a day and the breakfast group didn't take on weight. I think that might be because the breakfast group had higher energy levels and therefore also expended more energy by movement before lunch.

Yeah, but farmers have a powerful lobby and they produce our food. So they got some power behind their words.

They can still have business, just not in the animal sector. Lab grown meat will still need nutrients to grow.

It will probably contain less harmful stuff, like antibiotics, as well.

Why do you use per capita if the GDP also supports your point? If you compare wealth or economic power it does not seem important how many people achieve this.
