The politically-captured 'Constitutional Tribunal' has decided - or rather, conveyed the decision - that the ombudsman cannot remain in office after the end of his statutory term to guarantee continuity until his replacement has been appointed by parliament.

PiS has been trying to force through candidates that are unacceptable to the majority in the Senate, and rather than attempt to work to find a compromise candidate, they have decided to use their control over the 'Tribunal' to resolve the problem to their liking instead.
This is the same procedure that was used in the case of the abortion law. What the executive cannot resolve in the legislature, it will use the 'Tribunal' to resolve.
The 'Tribunal' sat in a panel of three judges and two pseudo-judges who occupy places to which others had already been elected in late 2015. One of them is the 'Tribunal' president, who was elected to that position in breach of procedure.
Acting ombudsman @Adbodnar now remains in the role for three months, after which either PiS identifies a candidate the opposition finds acceptable (implausible), the opposition gives in (possible), or Polish citizens will be deprived of constitutionally-assured representation.
PiS-controlled 'public' media, which has spent the period since the end of Bodnar's term disparaging him as a tool of the opposition, will now switch its attentions to framing the Senate as irresponsible for failing to rubber stamp whichever hair-raisingly right-wing candidate
the majority in the Sejm is willing to push through at Kaczyński's behest.
I wonder what @EU_Commission will do in response to this latest act of constitutional vandalism. Maybe it will write another of its letters.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
Following @BAUDEGS I have experienced hateful and propagandist tweets time after time. I have been shocked that an academic community would be so reckless with their publications. So I did some research.
The question is:
Is this an official account for Bahcesehir Uni (Bau)?


Bahcesehir Uni, BAU has an official website

BAU has many departments, which all have separate accounts. Nowhere among them did I find @BAUDEGS
