Friendly reminder: if you're inviting people to review papers and/or serve on a program committee for a conference, your email should state the schedule for reviewing and planned workload so that people can make an informed decision whether it fits with the rest of their work schedule or not.
It is kind of a shame West Africa is experiencing a series of coups, which is replacing the traditional election rigging
The peoples of the world are becoming profoundly dissatisfied and are not appeased by the promise of the social democrats to patch up the state into a new engine of oppression.

Hi! It’s Myroslava.
Today, the great people of a great country celebrate a great holiday - Independence Day. 32 years ago, Ukraine resumed its existence.
However, it is now forced to fight for its independence by fighting the Russians.
There is a bloody war going on, but Ukrainians are not giving up and are trying to live on. Even under these circumstances, they celebrate their day.
For the second year in a row, Ukraine has been celebrating Independence Day in the face of a full-scale war.

⚠️🇫🇷“I will talk to Putin when it is beneficial and necessary”, — French President Emmanuel Macron in an interview with Le Point. Once again, Macron expressed readiness to talk with the head of the Kremlin, "even despite the fact that Russia, as a member of the UN Security Council, is stirring up chaos in the world."

"There are those, on the one hand, who hope to achieve the social revolution through the State by preserving and even extending most of its powers to be used for the revolution. And there are those like ourselves who see the State, both in its present form, in its very essence, and in whatever guise it might appear, an obstacle to the social revolution, the greatest hindrance to the birth of a society based on equality and liberty, as well as the historic means designed to prevent this blossoming."

I am an anarchist not because I believe anarchism is the final goal, but because there is no such thing as a final goal.
