"When I was not accepted as a train driver because I have glasses, I studied history and German studies. Against my will, I became the first academic in my family and then a writer," Rudiš laughs, who earns applause from the audience after just a few minutes. #Česko #ČeskáLiteratura #VáclavHavel (translated)

The author described the situation of mathematicians as a disaster. He wrote that their intellectual work is devalued by AI, and they are becoming its assistants. This could also happen to many other academics in the future. At the same time, in his assessment, respect for human intellectual achievement as well as their income is declining. #Mathematik #Akademiker #KünstlicheIntelligenz #None (translated)

A study from Akavia shows that academics with their own disabilities or who have children with disabilities experience diminished influence over their work tasks, lost career opportunities, and poorer well-being, highlighting the need for increased awareness and structures in workplaces to support these groups. #Funktionsnedsättning #Karriärmöjligheter #Akademiker (translated)

A degree increasingly guarantees less employment in Germany, as shown by the rising unemployment rate among academics, while at the same time the number of students is continuously increasing and the shortage of skilled workers in vocational professions is increasing. #Ausbildung #Studium #Arbeitsmarkt (translated)

Jože Možina wrote that the defense of Svetlana Makarovič and her work "Sluga," which, according to him, referred to the European Court of Human Rights, failed. He praised the text by Ales Valant, which he linked to former judge of that court Dr. Zupančič, and assessed that it refuted Makarovič's characterization of her actions as satire. Možina claimed that it was about humiliating with the intent of dehumanization and that she would therefore also be condemned in Europe. He stated that the criminality of her actions was demonstrated, in his opinion, by professional texts of Dr. Komel, Dr. Muhovič, Dr. Jaklič, Dr. Perenič, Dr. Ogrin, and Zobec. He added that only the media and politicians from the far left had exposed themselves for her, not reputable names. #pravo #slovenija #pravosodje (translated)

Bartosz Lewandowski accused Senator Adam Bodnar of hypocrisy and asked how much he received for editing and writing an article in a book published by the German legal publisher Nomos Verlag, with the participation of the Max Planck Society, funded by the German budget. He referred to Bodnar’s text on the judiciary after the power takeover, in which—he wrote—Bodnar advocated for “transitional justice.” Lewandowski described this as consent to lawlessness and the omission of legal principles. He also asked how much Bodnar earned from numerous articles, including those published on the German website while he was a lawyer for the opposition. He accused him of violating the principles he had previously set when he later became the Minister of Justice in Donald Tusk's government. Lewandowski wrote that Bodnar had accused lawyers and academics of participating in the research project of the University of Miskolc, which was supposed to result in a monograph, several dozen scientific articles, and two conferences. He asked whether Bodnar would disclose other international grants he received for his activities in support of the rule of law before— as Lewandowski put it—he boasted about prosecuting the Polish opposition. #hipokryzja #praworządność #polityka (translated)

Zdeněk Šarapatka wrote that the moderator Pavlína Wolfová repeatedly asked Spirov from SPD and Prokšanová in the debate about Russian aggression who would come to defend the Czech Republic. According to him, both answered evasively and their behavior resembled vocal support for Putin. He added that such a debate must have been challenging for television professionals as well, and he stated that he found the answer to the question behind Krupskaya and Lenin. #ruskáagrese #debata #PavlínaWolfová (translated)

The writer stated that few Swedish academics had dedicated as much energy to trying to understand Russia's intentions as Oscar Jonsson. Therefore, the writer described Jonsson as a well-timed guest in the Friday interview, while more and more European intelligence services and politicians were warning of a Russian escalation. https://t.co/RyFlgLTIoI #Ryssland #Säkerhetspolitik #Geopolitik #SE #RU (translated)

Everyone knows that the pension at 63 was an SPD gift to well-paid industrial workers. That’s why the unions are also up in arms against the planned abolition. It concerns their core clientele. No roofer can last until 65. No academic can complete the 45 contribution years. The abolition is, when viewed in isolation, substantively correct, but it also shows the political clumsiness of the Union. You can't spend 60 billion euros every year on non-working individuals (50% of whom are foreigners) and then cut back on those who work and keep our social system running. No one understands that. It is the opposite of fair. #Rente #Sozialsystem #Gerechtigkeit (translated)

"Ovo upozorenje razotkriva pokušaje kineskih obavještajnih službi da se prikriveno okoriste stručnošću i istraživanjima naših akademika, čime se ugrožava naša nacionalna sigurnost, kao i sigurnost naših saveznika"Državni ministar za sigurnost Dan Jarvis rekao je da je upozorenje MI5 razotkrilo pokušaje kineskih obavještajnih službi da koriste britanska akademska istraživanja kako bi ugrozile nacionalnu sigurnost Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. #MI5 #kinesk теплijамордица #sježenje

A strong majority of those who contribute to society today vote for the right-wing parties. They are the ones who go to their jobs and run businesses, etc. They pay the taxes and give more than they receive, thus holding society together. Meanwhile, those who consume tax money vote for the left, like communication professionals, HR, strategists, the aid industrial complex, the so-called civil society that generates about 30-40 billion every year in tax funds, administrators within the public sector, meaningless political academics, media people, culture folks who live on taxes, and recipients of benefits. #politik #samhälle #val (translated)
