After delays and dashed hopes, wait is over and Euro 2020 party is here
Italy’s national stadium will be only a quarter full for their opening game against Turkey, and yet the hope is that the 16,000 masked and tested fans in attendance will provide something all too painfully absent in recent months: a sense of gathering and celebration, a country and a continent slowly rediscovering their voice.

Welcome to the TVA, One of the Most Important Parts of the MCU
The series premiere of Loki not only revived the character who met his demise in the opening minutes of Infinity War, but it quickly reset the power structure of the MCU. Suddenly, Thanos’s coveted Infinity Stones and even the Avengers seem inconsequential when compared to the all-knowing Time-Keepers and the bureaucracy they created in the TVA. Loki finds out the hard way that he has no “glorious purpose” in life, just a set path dictated by the Time Keepers that he’ll inevitably follow over and over again in infinite realities.

Crisis of confidence: How Europeans see their place in the world

This effect is strongest in Germany: disappointment with the EU has now spread from the periphery to the centre.
