The discomforts don't bother me at all, mostly they enhance the experience, root you more in the moment. And there are all the things you have to do in summer to be comfortable, and these are almost without exception excellent: You have to go bathing in rivers lakes and oceans, you have to eat outside on terrace, you have to wear fantastic linen shirts, you have to drink chilled wine, you have to eat light meats like fish, you have to go on long evening walks when it's cooler.
Serbia's former foreign minister today revealed in an interview that after these public statements in 2009, Hillary Clinton told him in a private meeting that he needs to "stop activities on reversing Kosovo's declaration of independence else he AND HIS FAMILY will face consequences".
Jeremic said he explained that those activities are not his personal activities, but policy of the Serbian government, also their constitutional duty. That's when she said that.
(Jeremic also served one term as President of the United Nations General Assembly in 2012-2013)

A new paper in Evolutionary Human Sciences examines race memes on x but doesn't reproduce the original memes so readers don't have to be exposed to racism when reading a paper about racism. Here are the "ethically modified" memes.
Various people are clapping back at this, so let me tell you what is happen in liberal democratic non-authoritarian Germany:
– Getting raided by police, charged with speech crimes, etc. because you post online is a professional risk, I personally know various people to whom this has happened and I live my life with a bunch of opsec annoyances for the day it happens to me.
– State media coordinates with intelligence agencies to smear and harass not only the political opposition but their prominent supporters, for example by doxxing them, getting them fired, subjecting them to harassment.
– The state funds a vast 'civil society' network of violent street thugs to intimidate the political opposition and also anybody identified by state-sanctioned ops like those detailed in the above item. Opposition party congresses, other events routinely disrupted by coordinated civil society protests, where the local popoulation is sympathetic (as in many east German venues) they bus in protesters from the west and the big cities to create the necessary atmosophere.
– Domestic intelligence agencies use espionage methods to surveil and compromise the political opposition; among other things they pay informants, tap telephones, read emails, and so on. We've had various indications that materials gathered in these operations are then used for state media smear campaigns.
– Yes, domestic intelligence openly coordinates with state media and certain private media elements too. Various aspects of political coverage in Germany are staged by secretive unelected bureaucrats.
– Procedural rules, other laws are routinely changed in ad hoc ways to disadvantage political opposition, though we haven't had any outright gerrymandering like in the US so that means Our Democracy is safe. 👍

@BohunkSupremacy “MCC is widely recognized as an incubator for future Fidesz leadership cadre” and yet one of the criticisms of Orbán here is that he wasn’t investing in young cadre enough.
