As the "last falangista*" dies, fascism is again on the rise.
Just an example from Manchester.
In the nearby parliamentary constituency, a candidate with connections to race pseudoscience organisations, with Nazi pedigree, could win a crucial by-election.
*Falange= Franco's fascist party.
Muere a los 93 años el golpista Antonio Tejero, brazo ejecutor del 23F

The Netherlands gas storages are at a historically low filling level of 6%. The largest one Norg, used for "L-gas", the type which households use, is completely empty now: 0.00%. The other L-gas one at Grijpskerk is down to 1.81% and could be empty within days, too.

I’ll be going to a #Wikimedia conference in Kaohsiung, Taiwan 🇹🇼, next month and I had the choice of either:
1️⃣ going to a new airport (KHH) but only on low-cost airlines I’ve flown before, or
2️⃣ flying on a new airline (China Airlines) but arriving at an airport I’ve been before (TPE).
I went with 2️⃣ as that means I also get to try the Taiwan High Speed Rail! 🚄

A long time ago, when I was still going to school, I often thought about some class or other: "What's the point of this? I'm just wasting time on stuff I won't ever need. And my grades are going down because of it." So I supported all these bright ideas like having schools work the curriculum out with the industry.
Nowadays, I know better. The purpose of school is not to produce ready-made employees. It's to give people a wider perspective. Perhaps they won't use most of what they learn there, perhaps they'll have bad memories of some classes, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that you learn how to learn, how to reason, how to think.
I hate what's been happening to schools lately. They are becoming conveyor belts: we throw children on them, throw specific knowledge at them and see what sticks, we do exams and classify them. We expect to get a thoughtless laborer at the end, someone ready to take a specific job immediately.
A human whose only purpose in life is mindless labor and mindless consumption. Metaphorically, someone who's just going to spend their time off by drinking beer in the front of the TV and breeding more babies. Babies who will eventually become more cogs in the machine, fueling the infinite growth, trying to prevent this mindless system from falling apart.

We are, however, cautiously hopeful that we have won this battle and can move on to the next.
One theory is that this is all a ruse, and as soon as Congress funds ICE CBP, they’ll come roaring right back. That’s certainly plausible. My own gut feeling, however, is that this is not the case.
