government funded, yet independent

🤨

Slovakia and hungary. Not sure how poland is doing these days, but there was an infamous news segment a few years ago that got international attention, because it was basically 5 minutes of simping for Andrzej Duda. Right before the elections.

I recognize the quality of work people in these institutions achieve. Not everything they put out is a political order, they still do decent journalism.

Nerds don’t just want to teach people to swim. They want to teach them about hydrogen bonds and the mineral contents of the water, the processes of water treatment, and the technical requirements for a functional pool.

And I think that’s beautiful. There is nothing like watching someone explain something they’re passionate about.
