I really need to #DeleteLinkedIn account, which I don't use anyhow.
Having said, on campus, odds are people would read this and keep using it. A lot of folks here swear by it, especially that suite of learning modules it offers on the side.

Wir danken dem Land Südtirol für die Werbung für unsere Aktionstage, die übermorgen starten werden (https://deutsche-kultur.provinz.bz.it/de/politische-bildung/atpb-oesterreich) und möchten darauf aufmerksam machen, dass es auch in Südtirol vom 2. bis zum 9. Mai 2026 Aktionstage Politische Bildung geben wird!
Das Motto 2026 ist "Medien, Likes & Live": Was ist Fake, was ist real? Geht es mehr darum, sich in sozialen Medien gut zu präsentieren, oder darum, wie wir uns im realen Leben verhalten?

“Britain left leaderless after Sir Keir Starmer does not resign as prime minister”
by Laura And Normal Island News on Substack
“In a stunning turn of events, Sir Keir Starmer has left the nation leaderless after he failed to offer his resignation as prime minister. As a result, we are now in the same position we have been in for the last 21 months, with no one bothering to govern the country and everyone else taking the blame for the prime minister’s shortcomings”

“A series of arson attacks and alleged incidents targeting alleged Jewish-linked sites across Europe have been attributed to a little-known group called Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI), or Ashab al-Yamin. The group has been widely described in media and security circles as an Iran-backed network, allegedly linked to the IRGC.”
[..]
“But what is Ashab al-Yamin? Where did it come from and does it exist at all?
This investigation reveals that there is no such group.”
