> "The design of Romania’s educational system makes it perhaps the most stratified educational system in the world."

Nice quote from an article on education in #Romania that quotes interesting studies, describes factually some dyanamics, but is puzzling and problematic in its logic and, most of all, conclusions.

Vous vous rendez compte que là je vais aller me coucher pour aller travailler demain alors que je pourrais passer la nuit sur ce sympathique (enfin selon moi) dessin d’Hollow Knight destiné à un collègue ? Je dis pas ça pour vous convaincre d’abolir le travail pour me permettre de le finir plus vite mais c’est une idée hein je pose juste ça là comme on dit

J’ai pas pensé à prendre une photo avant d’offrir le dessin terminé donc la seule que j’ai pour vous le montrer c’est celle où l’aquarelle est encore scotchée sur mon carnet. J’espère qu’elle vous plaira malgré tout car ça a été très intéressant à réaliser !

Margaret Atwood claps back to having The Handmaid’s Tale banned from Alberta schools by the UCP.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Margaret E. Atwood's verified account on X.com. The tweet is a satirical piece of literature, humorously titled "The Handmaid's Tale," intended for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools. It contrasts the fictional characters John and Mary with those in Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," highlighting their virtuous behavior and the Minister of Education's perceived oversight. The tweet humorously criticizes the Minister's view of teenagers, suggesting they are "stupid babies." It also pokes fun at the characters' religious beliefs and capitalist practices, referencing Ayn Rand and "The Fountainhead." The tweet concludes with a reference to Danielle Smith's situation, adding a layer of satire. The tweet has garnered 56K views and was posted at 12:22 PM on August 31, 2025.

When exploring RPG mechanics and playstyles, two concepts frequently come to mind: immersion and authoring. These approaches are central to how we experience and create stories, yet they lead to profoundly different player experiences.

Und während die entgangenen , gestohlenen 200 Mrd. Steuergelder hier im Land keinerlei Wirkung mehr entfalten können, weil das Geld schlicht woanders ist, halten die 47 Mrd.

U.S. suspends visas for Palestinian passport holders, officials say.


August 31, 2025 ~4:20pm

The Trump administration has enacted a sweeping suspension of approvals of almost all types of visitor visas for Palestinian passport holders, according to American officials.

The new policy goes beyond the restrictions announced by U.S. officials recently on visitor visas for Palestinians from Gaza. Last week, the State Department also said it would not issue visas to Palestinian officials to attend the annual U.N. General Assembly in New York next month.
