Ob bizarnem tvitu PRS o bizarni nalogi žrebanja dolžine mandatov programskih svetnikov se je na tviterju pojavil ogorčen plaz tvitov, katerih skupni imenovalec je bilo mnenje, da je izbira z žrebom bizarna v kontekstu vodenja in upravljanja javnih zadev. Kratka 🧵👇🏻1/ Tako stališče lepo povzema spodnji tvit, katerega avtorja žreb "asociira na neresnost, na hazard, na nekaj, kar je odvisno od golega naključja, na nekaj kar nima opore v resnosti in domišljenosti dejanja, na nekaj, kar ni kredibilno." 2/

Dokler je ta bizarni diskurz omejen na tviter trole in propagandiste stranke SDS, je to še smešno, ko pa ga privzamejo univerzitetni kadri in mainstream časopisi, pa vidimo, kako nizko je padel intelektualni nivo javne razprave. Prava epistemofobija bi rekla predsednica DZ. 1/ Razpasel se je nekašen fahidiotizem, ki ni več zmožen širše politične analize. Komentar ustavnega pravnika, ki piše o "potolčeni desnici" in "prevladi levice" in iz tega izpeljuje "ogroženost temeljev slovenske ustavnosti" pač ni resna analiza stanja. 2/

As much as today's assassination attempt on the former PM Abe Shinzō is a horrible and shocking event, what it certainly is not is "unprecedented in Japanese history". 🇯🇵🧵#JapaneseHistory #日本歴史
Leaving aside the frequent assassinations during the revolutionary period of the 19th century Japan and focusing only on the 20th century, Japan has seen its fair share of political assassinations. #JapaneseHistory

Since it's a #WorldBeeDay2020 today, I want to do a little thread connecting bees, Japan, Slovenia and Europe. The #WorldBeeDay is celebrated on May 20, the day Slovenian beekeeper Anton Janša, the pioneer of beekeeping, was born in 1734. #世界ミツバチの日 So, honey and bees are big in Slovenia, but there was
one particularly famous bee back in the 70s and 80s. People growing up in those remote times surely still remember a famous bee called Maya and the rest of the gang.
