Just one year until the summer 2024 Olympics launch in Paris! Today is my last day of work in Brussels and part of me wishes I could've been in Europe this time next year to experience this. Who's in for an #mubxl reunion in France?

Negotiations on the EU's plan to prevent abuse online has been a hot topic my whole summer in Brussels. Privacy advocates say the legislation will violate personal data protection, but the EU says end-to-end encryption of private messages is in no danger of being broken. #mubxl

Temperatures around the globe are record-high, and Italy is especially suffering. Wildfires ravaged the coast and severe storms battered Milan, killing 2. "We are paying the price of climate change," said Italian civil protection minister. #mubxl theguardian.com/world/2023/j…

France's President Emmanuel Macron expressed his concerns today over the appointment. He is skeptical and worries why there are no capable Europeans to fill the job. Click the link & listen to the statement below, starting from 14:45. #mubxl huffingtonpost.fr/politique/…

There's lots of controversy throughout the European Union over the recent appointment of Fiona Scott Morton as the EU Commission's newest chief competition economist. The role, which is typically held by a European, will now be in the hands of an American economist. #mubxl

Here's another ECHR ruling, this time about a person's "right to be forgotten" vs press freedom. The right establishes that platforms could be obliged to remove online content from their services, which now includes media. Is this censorship, or a protection of privacy? #mubxl

I was in NYC just before smoke from Canadian wildfires engulfed the city, and now it has clouded European skies as well. Reporting here says it's expected to sweep Western Europe in these next couple days. I wonder if we'll see this in Brussels. #mubxl politico.eu/article/canadian…

I've read a lot of legislation on this and even talked to some privacy groups too. It's a good way for the EU and banks to stay ahead of the digital environment, but promises haven't been met on data protection. Not only could governments have access, but hackers too. #mubxl

And Pannell nabs the last out on a grounder! Missouri takes the victory 4-3 at Mizzou Softball Stadium over Kansas. Story to come.

Missouri softball is pulling together down in Gainesville right now… 3 home runs so far in Game 1 and they’re up 6-2 over the No. 8 Florida team in the sixth inning. This could be a worthwhile weekend for the Tigers, especially in SEC play.

#Mizzou softball has moved up in this most recent NCAA softball poll. The Tigers are now No. 21. @CoMoSports

Here we go again! The No. 24/21 Tigers are in Cali this weekend, here's the schedule (weather permitting) ⬇️ 2/23 VS Cal Poly @ 2:30PM VS BYU @ 5PM 2/24 VS Oregon State @ 5:30PM 2/25 VS No. 22/24 Oregon @ 5PM VS Long Beach State @ 7:30PM

#23 MU softball with another upset over #20 UCF tonight. The Tigers won 11-8. Next up ➡️ MU will head to Miami for the Panther Invitational, playing at 9AM Friday. @CoMoSports

Here we go! Another season, another shot at the Women's College World Series. Will MU softball measure up against top 10 teams Texas and Northwestern this weekend? Stay tuned.
