Absoluter Irrsinn.
Söder begründet die Senkung der Luftverkehrsteuer in der Pressekonferenz folgendermaßen: „Ein klares Signal, dass Fliegen in Deutschland wettbewerbsfähig in, vor allem im Binnenbereich.“ Der Wettbewerb besteht im „Binnenbereich“ vor allem mit der Bahn.

Today, the conservatives (EPP) passed a major piece of EU legislation with the far-right groups in the EU Parliament, marking the breakdown of the cordon sanitaire. The EPP, under Weber, has decided to sacrifice long-term principles and stability for short-term political gains.

Da die Zustimmung zu einem egalitären Rollenbild konstant wuchs, galt das Thema Geschlechtergleichstellung vielen als Selbstläufer. Weshalb diese Gewissheit nun ins Schwanken geraten könnte, zeigt der aktuelle DIW Wochenbericht: www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....
Die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter nur eine Frage der Zeit? Daten des World Value Survey zeigen: Die Modernisierung der Rollenbilder könnte ins Stocken geraten – gerade jüngere Menschen neigen in manchen Ländern wieder zu traditionelleren Einstellungen. 🧵(1/5) www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....

Thank you for sharing this and for the helpful recommendations👏 I would add that the rejection context matters.
When one faces the end of a fixed-term contract while project proposals and manuscripts are also being rejected, “failing better” can be an especially difficult part of an academic career.

Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it.
CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures.
But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do.
