According to the article
“COVID was not supposed
to play a major role
in the Olympics anymore —
but Paris 2024
has shown that for the athletes,
it's still an issue”
and while I know
that you are not an Olympian
please be aware
that COVID is still an issue
for you as well.

"Higher education funding reform requires a more radical rethink and an approach that values the university sector as a whole. This funding reform needs to focus on the public values we want universities to pursue, recognising that the radical shift to a market-based system in recent decades is beginning to undermine the long-term viability of the sector." https://theconversation.com/university-finances-are-in-a-perilous-state-its-the-result-of-market-competition-and-debt-based-expansion-234862
University finances are in a perilous state – it’s the result of market competition and debt-based expansion

J.D. Vance is a Manchurian candidate backed by money from Peter Thiel, Musk and other techlords, and adheres to a neoreactionary/Dark Enlightenment ideology cooked up by Mencius Moldbug (aka Curtis Yarvin) that caters to their desire to be a new technofeudalist aristocracy.
Musk and Thiel pushed Trump to nominate him, and now Musk is bankrolling the Trump campaign. They want Vance to inherit the dynasty after Trump turns elections into a formality.
This guy is seriously scary.

the Republican party of the 2000's would have somehow parlayed that shooting into a resolution to start bombing some wholly unrelated country by Monday morning. but these current guys take nearly all their cues from midwit online trolls, and so far the strongest reaction they have mustered is "uhhhbghh women in the secret service? what's next, a lady Ghostbuster?"

It's damning of the state of healthcare that they are reinstating mask mandates at cycle races before they reinstate them in hospitals.

Mozilla holding everyone for ransom and saying they will post everyones bookmarks and browser history in public unless we all paid $50 to fund Firefox development forever would genuinely be a better business decision than giving in to adtech. Literally the only thing anyone who uses it wants from them is an uncompromised browser. Value goes to zero otherwise

Orban's party, Fidesz, established a new (right-wing) group inside the EU Parliament. Enough MEPs from other groups joined that this new group, Patriots for Europe, will be the third largest force in the EU Parliament.

Balkan Insight wrote about it: https://balkaninsight.com/2024/07/09/patriot-games-viktor-orban-goes-on-the-offensive/

Patriot Games: Viktor Orban Goes on the Offensive

The Hungarian PM’s primary objective had been to unify the two Eurosceptic right-wing formations in the European Parliament, but with his new Patriots for Europe grouping he has ended up outmanoeuvring both.
