As someone who, while growing up, had measles, rubella, and many other horrible illnesses now preventable by vaccination, I simply cannot fathom why people want to revert to that time. I spent a lot of time in bed or at the hospital as a child. Yes, I survived, but not by much.
Why go back there?
I've had it up to here with Czechs making everything diminutive, even 'it'. You'll get taught 'to je ono' for 'that is it', and I'm prepared for 'to je vono' in casual speech, but I've now heard a friend say 'to je vončo'.

I do hope the EU will be able to support its companies to develop such vaccines. There are hardly any medications with a comparably large cost/benefit ratios!
(Plus, pretty please, universal flu, HIV, beta-HPV and many others!)
I had a lot of fun getting silly in a recording studio with very abbreviated sonnets like:
Can't sleep by day, 'cause work's my duty.
Can't sleep by night, 'cause you're a cutie.
When in disgrace and feeling crappy
I think "you love me." Then I'm happy.
Dnes startují Zimní olympijské hry 2026 — a Cortina d’Ampezzo se na olympijskou mapu vrací po 70 letech. 🇮🇹
V Cortině je průměrná únorová teplota dnes zhruba o 3,5 °C vyšší než v době her 1956. I bez extrémně studeného únoru 1956 je trend oteplování výrazný (cca +2,7 °C).
Hledání sexuálního grálu končí, mění se na Sxinteligence.cz ❣️
Proč? Protože „grál“ zněl moc “ezo”, já ale píšu o sexualitě a sexuologii podle vědeckých poznatků.🧠
A kniha vyjde taky pod jiným názvem - u @janmelvil.bsky.social jako Česká touha ❣️

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.
Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid.

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.
wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage
