Dating apps are not dead. The dynamics they created just moved elsewhere.
All I did was register to an app that is supposed to help find language exchange buddy. All I got was texts from men (there were more).
Datings apps replicated a gender dynamic that was here before and will outlast them.

Heads up. This is great for some people. But we need to have an honest conversation that EU academia did NOT get the memo about what it means to have very early-career folks with an ERC.
Unfortunately, this will not open "tenure track" or permanent lines for those successful early = fancy precarity

Made the mistake of looking at property for sell in Barcelona.
Every 3rd apartment or so is "currently illegally occupied" or "just for investment not for use"... these are not airbnb apartments.
So mayyyybe the housing market in Barcelona is a bit more complex than "tourists drive prices up"??

Not to be petty RTVE, but the jury didn't like the Spanish entry either...
Demanding a debate about the practice of televoting is kind of like saying "we only believe in democracy when people vote for us".. oh wait... 👀
Figure 1: the jury vote to the Spanish entry at Eurovision 2025

The televoting was introduced because fans rightfully complained that the people at home should get to signal who they want to win. And jury should not dictate taste because they're also political.
You don't get to cancel voting when ppl don't vote how you want. Also "artistic"? Really? 👀

I'm leaving academia. I've been recruited to join the Illuminati. I knew the ERC will get me places.
