Polish voters set for tight presidential race after 10 years of Duda
Sunday's first-round is expected to set up a run-off between Warsaw's liberal mayor and a conservative historian.Adam Easton (BBC News)
Avvicinandosi al finale, sensazioni senza spoiler:
Qualcosa la fiutavo, ma santo cielo non pensavo osassero davvero seguire una strada simile, con una scelta tanto rischiosa e probabilmente divisiva.
Wow.
(personalmente sono con gli occhi a cuore, mesmerizzato tipo i Toreador di Vampiri quando vedono il Bello. Che meraviglia)
Anyway, I am off to play some Minish Cap. I’ve gotten much farther than last time I mentioned it!

There are a lot of people who either supported Trump or downplayed the dangers of Trump and now that it's clear how catastrophically wrong they were, some are admitting as much, but lots of others want to downplay it, and want everyone else to downplay it, so they don't feel bad about themselves.

I have no confidence in the American people. Here's why:
The first antifascists fought in the Spanish Civil War, as ugly and brutal as any war in history. Brave people, the republicans, George Orwell fought alongside them. Homage to Catalonia.
The Spanish Civil War was the warmup exercise for WW2.
The idealism, then the infighting , the Russian-backed communists war on the POUM. Amazing depictions of men at war.
The good guys lost.

Open letter from 10 former US university presidents or chancellors:
washingtonpost.com/opinions/20…
US higher education "is under attack. Because of the financial consequences from federal stop-work orders, some universities…have curtailed, or even stopped, admitting graduate and professional students. This is not a matter of cutting waste or curbing frivolous research. These cuts will translate into shortages of trained doctors and nurses who provide critical care; engineers who keep bridges, utilities and water supplies safe; and scientists who discover drugs and therapies. Federal research funding for universities is not a subsidy. Under previous administrations, it was a competitive process through which taxpayers invest in discovery and innovation. In a recent world ranking of the top 50 universities influencing patented inventions, U.S. universities held 30 of the top 50 spots and Harvard was No. 1. This research enterprise helped build the world’s most powerful economy. It is a bargain by any measure."

The Voyager 1 spacecraft was launched in 1977. Now, it’s more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth. Its thrusters, which fell silent 20 years ago, threatened to abort the craft's mission — until NASA engineers brought them back to life. @LiveScience has more on “yet another miracle save.”
