An evening discussing falling enrollment in #STEM courses at universities across Europe, especially traditional studies like chemistry, geology and meteorology. I wonder if young people are unaware of just how interesting #STEM careers to be? Or do they have the perception it's "too hard" compared to other subjects where easier grades may be had? Or is it simply they think they can have "better"* jobs in other fields?

A similar trend is reported in Italy. Is violent crime becoming more violent and international? Is "someone" (a state actor perhaps?) flooding the black market with weapons?
Overall violent crime has been falling for decades pretty much everywhere in Europe so it's interesting to see these trends

This is the kind of thing the old twitter was very good at. You could make some observations, ask generally if they were correct and before long a statistician and a criminologist appeared to answer your question. Closely followed by an expert in geopolitics with Europol following behind..

I normally try to avoid american politics like the plague. There's nothing I can do about it.
But this piece. Wow.
These guys have a lot in common with Iran's clerics.
I'm starting to feel we have to pay some attention in Europe. Because they're coming for us next. ...
