Happy Sunday! I hope you are well and safe this weekend! Here’s some reading for you. Am I the only one to think that most of this list should be applied all the time, regardless of world health emergencies? 🤔 The source is of course the World Health Organization, be sure to check out their website clicking here for many more useful information (and some myth-busting) about the coronavirus. Brexit Endgame: Britain’s EU Departure Marks the End of Brexit’s Beginning The day has come and Monday will probably look very similar to the days past (expect for British MEPs maybe),…
Happy weekend everybody! I am trying to slowly get back into the habit of zeroing my Feedly by the weekend, so I started collecting some worhty blog posts to recommend during the week for you. Although I’ve taken quite long breaks between posts lately, this is actually the 250th Sunday Smack, believe it or not! I’d really like to revive it somehow, but I’m not making promises, just see how it goes. Here is a small collection of good reads in the topic of world affairs/international law for this weekend! What do you think? Let me know which one did…
Happy Sunday! It is summer in full swing with another heatwave in Hungary. Today is also the day of a New Moon, which they say is a great occasion to start carrying out plans. I would argue that any day is a great day for that, but since here we are today, let’s review our yearly plans and make sure everything is in order. I sure have a lot to think about on that front. Anyway, my favorite bloggers must be on vacation, because there was significantly less posts this week to choose from. Here’s some for you to read,…
Happy Sunday, Everybody! Since these stories I collect here are mostly about difficulties and hardships, I decided to try to lead with three things I liked over the week. First on my favorite things of this week list is learning the method of right brain drawing. That was mostly last week, but we finished off on Monday. Ever since then I am trying to experiment with right brain writing and right brain learning, you may read about these later. Another favorite moment of this week was Jimmy Kimmel’s heartfelt monologue about his son’s condition, and of course the positive ending…
Happy April, Everybody! There is wonderful spring weather in Hungary these days, I hope you are also somewhere enjoying spring. There was also wonderful spring weather in London during the short time I have spent there this week, the highlight of which I already shared in a previous post. It was my first time there since the Brexit referendum (las time I visited just a week before that), so I was curious whether anything has changed. I have to say I haven’t noticed anything. The media of course was full of Brexit reports on March 29, but other than that,…
Happy Spring, Everybody! This week was yet another sad reminder of the times we live in now. I am leaving for London just this coming week for a short trip (more on this later), and what happened on Westminster Bridge made me think about a lot of things. It is easy to say that we are not going to be frightened (we are not!), but harder not to think I could have been there on the bridge at that very moment. Or not to think whether it is just statistics, like there are so many people in a city like…
Happy Sunday! Things don’t seem to calm down in US politics while there are lots of other things to talk about. On a completely different note, have you seen Hidden Figures yet? I have just watched it yesterday, partly in appreciation of International Day of Women in Science. Those three remarkable ladies are true role models! Go watch the movie, if you can! Anyway, I am struggling to be able to complete these posts every week, because of studying for the bar exam, which literally eats up all my time these days. Nevertheless, I will try to think of something special…
OK, I usually try to avoid posting opinion about foreign elections, because clearly it is none of my business. But this time I will say this. Generally, when it comes to elections, I always say “go, vote”. Whatever the issue, general elections, local elections, referendum, when they ask for your opinion, it is not just your right, but your civic duty to go tell them. That’s what keeps democracy alive! So go vote, my US friends! Go vote, unless you are in favour of letting loose a rapist psychopath for all the world to suffer the consequences. Then please go…
Happy Sunday and happy Halloween, everybody! We are having a long weekend in Hungary, unfortunately filled with work for me. I can’t believe how quickly we are approaching the end of 2016. There are a lot of exciting things this coming November holds for us though, like the Marrakesh Climate Change Conference (to be preceded by the entry into force of the Paris Agreement), an historic presidential election in the US, the return of Gilmore Girls on Netflix, to list just a few. Here’s your reading for today. This will not be the end of “The Jungle” One of the…
Hello Everyone, I hope you’re having a great September weekend! We are having the most wonderful summer weather in Hungary, so as this post goes up, I am enjoying the late summer outdoors with a picnic. I am still busy with online learning and online challenges, while in my non-existent spare time I started a major decluttering (in my apartment and in my life) which leaves me incredibly refreshed and inspired. Highly recommended against burnout. Now let’s read. G20: They came, saw, shrugged, left and What Putin Didn’t Get In Hangzhou The G20 summit actually did not produce much news…
