♫ Mahna Mahna, Do doo be-do-do ♫ (Why do we get earworms?)
If we mention or even just allude to a catchy song, we risk having part of it playing on a loop in our head, for days on end. What's that about? And what can we do about it?

American/ American-based friends/ general students of international law and diplomacy...

The first amendment, that was specifically to allow private individuals to speak out/ speak freely about the US Government (including the president) without fear of retribution?

It’s looking like the far-right’s best and the centre-left worst results since the war. And underscores the urgent need for all of us to stand firm against the rise of extremism - including Reform UK here.

🇩🇪 It’s deeply concerning to see the surge in support for the far-right AfD in Germany tonight.

The exit polls have the far-right on around 20% of the vote in today’s German federal election.
