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. But last year, I finally encountered the university first-hand, […]

Kudos to Volvo btw, of whom I will see some folks again at #RustWeek. 🦀
A few years back, the company made a nice list of many #pride flags to explain them. 🏳️‍🌈

LGBTQ+ Pride Flags and What They Stand For
June is #Pridemonth. This is the most colorful month of the year since the LGBTQ+ pride is celebrated. The RAINBOW flag is used widely but it is not the only flag that people in the community connect with. Did you know that there are more than 20 different Pride Flags? Ambassadors of Volvo Group’s internal LGBTQ+ network called V-EAGLE tell us what they stand for.

Es ist ebenso faszinierend wie lustig. Der einzige Artikel auf meinem Blog, der seit Jahren(!) zuverlässige Abrufzahlen hat, ist immer noch der, wie man das Tastaturlayout des Alphasmart Neo2 auf das Deutsche umstellt.

Jetzt wo Orban abgewählt ist, könnten wir auch noch mal im Detail darüber sprechen, wie lange es Unterstützung aus CDU/CSU und ihrem Umfeld inklusive Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung und Europäische Volkspartei, zu der Fidesz bis 2021 gehörte, gab.

(2021) Eläköön ihmeellinen monimuotoisuus #luonto #monimuotoisuus

Eläköön ihmeellinen monimuotoisuus | Luonto-Suomi
Luonnon monimuotoisuus on maapallon arvokkain ja vähiten arvostettu ominaisuus, on biologi Edward Wilson todennut. Maailmassa on miljoonia eliölajeja, erityisesti hyönteisiä on hämmästyttävä määrä, ja uusia lajeja löydetään jatkuvasti. Samaan aikaan lajeja kuolee sukupuuttoon huolestuttavaa vauhtia. Miksi luontokadosta pitää olla huolissaan? Entä miten se voidaan pysäyttää? Kerro omia ajatuksiasi aiheesta: milloin olet pysähtynyt ihmettelemään luonnon monimuotoisuutta? M…

Wonder why anyone in Aotearoa NZ is celebrating RocketLab's US launch in aid of the US military. For his own gain and glory, Peter Beck (I don't see justification for his honourific) betrayed the trust of the kaumātua of Mahia Peninsula and sold us all out to perhaps the least honourable country in the world these days. Here's the story if you haven't already seen it:

Singapore, March 4, 2026—The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the release in recent days of at least four journalists in Myanmar as part of an amnesty of more than 7,300 prisoners convicted of terrorism, but urges military authorities to free all remaining jailed reporters.

"China expects up to 287 GW of new PV capacity additions in 2026"
#China #Energy #SolarPower #Renewables

China expects up to 287 GW of new PV capacity additions in 2026
China’s PV industry expects 238 GW to 287 GW of domestic capacity additions in 2026 as it pivots away from volume-led growth after a loss-making year driven by overcapacity and sharp price declines. The shift follows rapid expansion in 2021-25 that lifted cumulative capacity above 1.2 TW, annual additions beyond 300 GW and exports over $180 billion.
