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 July, everybody! And happy long weekend for those who are enjoying one now. Aren’t these cyberattacks more and more worrying? Sometimes it feels like some hackers could really do anything if they wanted to. I mean at the level that everything is computerized now, they could literally stop the world if that was what they wanted. World affairs are not on holiday yet, many things happened this past week. Great posts of great bloggers are a plenty on each topic, I provide you with only a handful to check out. The Supreme Court Just Blocked Vetted Refugees from Starting…

Hello, everyone! Another week with unspeakable tragedies in the world, I hope everyone is doing fine! In the coming weeks I am experimenting with some new ideas around here on the blog, which will slightly shake up these Sunday round-ups too. I hope you like a little variety. So this week, I seem to have finalized the schedule of my vacation week. Two weeks to go, it is going to be short, but I will make sure it’s going to be great. Speaking of greatness, have you watched the First Lady’s episode of Carpool Karaoke on the Late Late Show…
Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a great weekend! Some serious heat wave affects Hungary again, and it’s going to stay for quite long this time. Seems like the last week before I head off for vacation is going to be quite hot (that I mostly love!), and it’s going to include loads of work too (something I also mostly love), but I’ll try not to be completely absent from here. Now, how about some Sunday reading? High Drama, UN-Style This could easily be one of the most important documents in the 70 years long history of the…
Happy weekend, everybody! I am being absent from here lately despite all my plans for great posts. I am somewhat busy at work currently and there are those studies I have written about. And then there is summer too, with all kinds of summer things to do! But I’ll really try to do my best to post more. Now, here’s your not-to-be-missed Sunday reading: The Legal and Political Feasibility of the EU’s Planned ‘War on Smuggling’ in Libya Alright then, stop the boats, but will it help those refugees willing to risk their lives to come to Europe? No, it…
Happy Sunday! My time of the year has come, summer is my favorite season of all! I have lots of exciting plans for the next three months, besides just enjoying the hot weather and trying to make the most out of this summer. You all have a great summer, people! South Sudan Boots a Top UN Official Over His Tweets–And US Officials Tweet Their Response So it seems like the Sudanese government wants all the help, but no-one to talk about it. Do you ever wonder what diplomacy looked like before there was Twitter? Our First Official Peak into the…
Earth Day has a special meaning in the year which is crucial for the fight against climate change. This year the United Nations will decide on the Sustainable Development Goals and we will see whether member states are willing and able to take necessary action to preserve our Earth for the next generations. On a lighter note, have you played Google’s Earth Day Quiz? Turns out I’m a woolly mammoth! (”So unique, you’re technically extinct. But on the bright side, scientists hope to be able to clone you some day!” – uhm, good for them…)
Happy Sunday, people! I hope your holiday season has been merry and joyful so far! Let’s see what bloggers found worthy of posting about this week.
