But absurdity is no impediment to religious belief—credo quia absurdum. Working mostly off-campus, I noticed no real change in my own university until the BLM-riot-inspired anti-racism crisis of 2020, when I found that academe, originally a place for the free exchange of ideas, had become almost unrecognizable. Higher education has begun a transformation along the same lines as the 1966 “Cultural Revolution” in Maoist China.

The Multiversity and its Discontents: The Evolution of a Fatal Flaw — Minding The Campus
A well-known podcaster has the custom of going “off the grid” for a month each summer, to gain some perspective. I can beat that: I have been retired from academic teaching and research for nearly 14 years and have rarely visited my campus during that time.

Between 2020 and 2024, no cervical cancer deaths were recorded in women aged 20 to 24
- the first time that had happened over a five-year period.
Without vaccination, around 23 deaths would have been expected.
"It's incredible to think that a single jab can almost eliminate a particular type of cancer,"

Rekordlite sjøis i Arktis i mars
Utbredelsen av sjøis i Arktis var rekordlav i mars, ifølge månedsrapporten fra Meteorologisk institutt. Rundt Svalbard var mengden sjøis på sitt tredje laveste nivå for måneden siden 1980. Samtidig lå temperaturene ved alle de arktiske målestasjonene flere grader over normalen – altså gjennomsnittet fra perioden 1991 til 2020. Det var Svalbardposten som først omtalte saken.
