Barring some unforeseen demographic situation in the electoral college

What do you mean by that?

I recently read an interview with the Serbain president, in which he said that he fears for world war III, because this conflict might feel “existential” to both sides very quickly. Reading this, I can only think that’s a correct assesment.

The new Dutch minister of migration, also from PVV, was previously banned from standing in an election by the Dutch secret service, because of his links to the Mossad. He’s also a convicted fellon (possession of illegal weapons) and has called for all politicians of other parties to be tried in “tribunals” (in Dutch, that’s an obvious reference to the Nurenberg-trials) for their crime of allowing migrants in to the Netherlands. Ironically, he’s a migrant himself: he’s born in Tel Aviv. Source (in Dutch)

Computer science isn’t science

Why not?

If you suspect you’ve got it, I reccommend the book Scattered Minds by Gabor Mate. It helped me a lot to make me realise that all kinds of things I was doing were ADHD symptoms that I would never have considered otherwise. @Acute_Engles@hexbear.net this book tip might also be useful for you.

Fun fact! In the Netherlands, Elsevier publishes a weekly magazine about politics, which is basically the written version of Fox News for that country. Very nice that those people control like 50% of all academic publishing.

protesting over something so insignificant and inconsequential

Yes and no. The thing itself is small and inconsequential, but the subtext is a protest in favour of joining the EU and joining Schengen. The fact that relatively important EU-politicians are there to speech to the protesters makes that all the more clear.

(Imagine the opposite: like the head of the foreign affairs committe of Belarus talking to anti-governement-protsters in a EU-country. They’d be kicked out of the country immediatly and Belarus got themselves some extra sanctions.)
