Several of E.T.'s comics are about the importance of voting. Early voting wasn't a thing back then, but it is now, and it has started in most states. See here: https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/
btw this is an edit of a cartoon that came out in October 1913, e.g. see this example in The Day Book of Chicago. I love the fact that he's saying "Punk!" in the original.

The League of Nations (LN or LoN; French: Société des Nations [sɔsjete de nɑsjɔ̃], SdN) was the first worldwide intergovernmental organisation whose principal mission was to maintain world peace.[1] It was founded on 10 January 1920 by the Paris Peace Conference that ended the First World War. The main organisation ceased operations on 18 April 1946 when many of its components were relocated into the new United Nations. As the template for modern global governance, the League profoundly shaped the modern world.

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate",[5] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.
Some of these studies sound pretty interesting. Links to them in the article:
Botany
Given to Jacob White in the US and Felipe Yamashita in Germany for reporting evidence that the South American plant Boquila trifoliolata can mimic the leaves of plastic plants it is placed alongside, leading them to conclude that “plant vision” is a plausible hypothesis.
Medicine
Won by a Swiss, German and Belgian group for demonstrating that fake medicine that causes painful side-effects can be more effective in patients than fake medicine that does not cause painful side-effects.
Physics
Awarded to James Liao at the University of Florida for a comprehensive, multi-publication investigation into the swimming abilities of a dead trout.
Probability
Shared by a team of 50 researchers, mostly Dutch, who flipped 350,757 coins to test a hypothesis put forward by Persi Diaconis, a former magician and professor of statistics at Stanford University. Their work supported Diaconis’s prediction that tossed coins are (slightly) more likely to land the same way up as they started.

Apparently this is a monument to the Inca nobleman Cahuide
...an Inca nobleman and warrior of the 16th century (1536) in Cuzco, Peru, who participated in the battle of Sacsayhuamán, led by Manco Inca. In one of his battles when the castle he was defending fell into the hands of Conquistador, he jumped from the top of one of the three towers of Sacsayhuamán, called Muyuq Marka, so as not to surrender to his enemies.

Reportedly the sculpture is by three brothers: Luis Alberto Yanqui Yucra, Raúl Oswaldo Yanqui Yucra, and Rodolfo Edwin Yanqui Yucra, and it was made fairly recently (source in Spanish).
The name of the sculpture is "Cahuide against the Spaniard". Here's a picture of the sculptors with the statue:

That's exactly why Sarah broke up with him.
In Latin America, the christian conquerers forced people to pray to their god. So people adapted by praying to their old gods in the guise of the new.
Catholicism was the only religion allowed in the colonial era; the indigenous were forced to abandon their beliefs, although many did not abandon it at all, for example, countries with predominantly Amerindian population such as Bolivia and Peru there is a syncretism between indigenous religions and the Catholic religion, that has occurred since colonial times. In Brazil or Colombia, Catholicism was mixed with certain African rituals.
Usually the talks are just an advertisement for the paper. The real value of in-person conferences is meeting your peers and talking about your field in less-formal settings i.e. during the dinner and breaks.
btw if you're a student, see if there are any student organizations to join, especially if they do workshops or research tracks at a conference, it's a great way to build a network.

Wait, what? I don't think I got the memo on that one. This isn't some "manosphere" thing, is it?
