RIP Anton Pelinka. In meinem ersten Semester an der Universität Innsbruck besuchte ich seine Vorlesung Gründzüge der Politikwissenschaft. Die Vorlesung gab einen exzellenten Einblick in die Politikwissenschaft - von Wahlsystemen bis Julius Nyerere.

The far-right FPÖ supposedly wants to restrict ENG in academic research & make GER the sole research language in AT. Nothing says commitment to excellence like isolating Austrian science from the global community. Tell me you don’t care about scientific progress w/o telling me… 🫣 #ScienceSkepticism

J.D. Vance is trying to force the U.K. to drop LGBTQ+ hate speech protections as part of a TRADE DEAL.

This isn’t about jobs or free speech. It’s about giving bigots more room to incite violence.

The one strong prediction I have - this is going to lead to US financial sanctions against ICC employees, and possibly the ICC as an institution. That is going to get ugly for the EU.
