“requiem for methuselah” crazy ass episode for many reasons. Kirk is being fully insane, like I don’t actually think, even controlling for how quickly and easily and readily he seems to fall in love with anybody at the slightest encouragement, that he’d go that bonkers for that android woman he just met while everyone on the ship was this close to dying, but that’s neither here nor there, because in the background you’ve got an equally but much more subtly insane episode for Spock, who extremely uncharacteristically admits to experiencing an emotion (or nearly experiencing, whatever) and that emotion is ENVY of all things. And then spends the rest of the episode warning Kirk away from this new love interest (something that doesn’t usually happen, even when Kirk has very inadvisable love interests) and is, in the end, the person who accurately identifies that Rayna’s competing love for Kirk and Flint is ultimately what overwhelms and destroys her with the most killer line in maybe history???

And then to wrap it up we get an equally uncharacteristic sort of denouement scene (TOS loooves to cut an episode off right after the actual climax, leaving little time for falling action or character reflection, or to stick a sitcom-y button on the end where the gang all smiles and laughs at their misadventures and everything resets to zero, which is not a criticism, it’s just the style of that era of tv, honestly) where Kirk is literally miserable over Rayna’s death (again, kind of unusual for a lot of his love interests, he tends to be able to move on pretty quickly) and Spock goes to see him and he falls asleep right in front of Spock (also odd) and then when Bones comes in to give the final word on Flint, Spock waves him off from waking the Captain (tender) and Bones gives him that awful speech about how it’s sadder that Spock can’t even imagine the love Kirk felt for this random android woman than it is that Kirk lost her in the first place (debatable but also rude) and how his great tragedy is that he can’t love at all like they can and how all he wishes is that Kirk could forget about all of this and move on. AND THEN, to have Bones leave and Spock go over to Kirk and very gently, tenderly, reluctantly touch him and put his hand to his forehead and tell him to forget and HAVE THAT BE THE END OF THE EPISODE??? What am I supposed to do with that??

This morning, police officers arrived and began to physically remove students from the university grounds. A police spokesman, Robert Szumiata, said that the “rector asked us to unblock the traffic routes”.

The autonomy of universities is protected by law, which states that police can only enter campus in cases of immediate danger to people's lives or health or upon the rector's request.

Alojzy Nowak, the rector, refused to negotiate: he refused to let students into the building, fearing that 'they would start occupying the negotiation room'. He didn't come out to meet the students outside either, despite the intervention of MPs (Members of Parliament), reluctantly sent by students to investigate the situation (they weren't too happy to be represented by politicians and not listened to by the rector directly), whom he had agreed to let in.

The protesters were ID'd by the police and got charged with "disturbing the domestic peace", even though they were protesting outside the university's buildings.

The students demand:

A public, resolute, and unequivocal condemnation of Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip and the occupation of Palestine. Recognition of the right to return for forcibly displaced Palestinians, to statehood, and to equality.

Severing cooperation with Israeli academic institutions and other organizations and companies that are linked to the occupation of Palestine and the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, as well as boycotting Israeli institutions at the national and international level until the end of the occupation of Palestine."
