well I guess I've won my bet (I've bet a box of chocolates with an old teacher from high school on a Trump victory in 2020 and lost, and again this year) which is about the only way in which I was invested in the elections as a non-Burgerperson

I really liked his Idols of Nations; pretty niche indeed, but also very interesting and it touches a subject I know next to nothing about. I guess I should read his other works since he has many others on similar subjects. Which ones would you most recommend off the top of your head?

At this point I don't know why I am even surprised.

I think I remember seeing BadEmpanada jokingly saying that there should be a "we will dance again" festival on 7 October and explaining it for a few minutes. This poster seems too similar to a shitpost related to this, this can't be genuine right?

The other day I found a book titled Our Enver at home. It's not the first time I find pro-Enver Hoxha literature which was bought by my monarchist family (very cringe, I know; thankfully it's only the older generations that are still like that) but it's pretty funny that I keep finding them.

I finally got a notice today that my state scholarship application was accepted (this is normally supposed to happen before the summer holidays, but due to circumstances I could only apply very late), so I'll finally have a scholarship this year! I especially need it this year too, seeing as I have my student exchange to Taiwan next semester. This latter half of the year is starting pretty great, if you count July as part of the first half which doesn't make sense but let's just roll with it.
