Je viens de récupérer ce trésor a priori en parfait état de marche, avec des disques et des aiguilles. Cependant, le poids de la tête de lecture freine et arrête le disque, je ne comprends pas comment régler ça. Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà manipulé un gramophone comme celui-ci ?
I just inherited this wonder. I have an issue, though : the weight of the head slows and stops down the disk. Does someone know how to fix this ?

"[S]tudent #activists at #Columbia demanded an end to the #genocideInGaza and called for a ceasefire. The response? Intimidation, suspensions, wrongful arrests, and, in Mahmoud’s case, being illegally detained by #ICE and threats of #deportation.
"How and why did the current #studentMovement begin? What were the consequences of speaking out on #Palestine?"

Colleges in 1930s Germany thought giving in to government demands would save them…
What made the #German university capitulation so devastating wasn’t just the individual policy changes, but how quickly institutional autonomy collapsed once the principle was breached. Columbia’s agreement follows this same pattern: transferring disciplinary authority from faculty to administrators, adopting government-mandated speech definitions, submitting to external monitoring, screening international students for ideological compliance, and reviewing curriculum content. The university justified each concession as necessary for survival, just as German institutions did.
The agreement effectively allows the federal government to dictate campus speech policies, disciplinary procedures, and academic content through funding leverage, fundamentally altering #Columbia’s institutional governance structure.

"But this deal is unlikely to end the attacks. The federal government, and this administration, is simply too powerful and too arbitrary to be credibly bargained with."

"The student activist group Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), which has called for the school to cut all financial ties with Israel, said in a statement that nearly 80 students have now been either expelled or suspended for up to three years over their involvement in antiwar protests."

#Trump's admin says billions of dollars in cuts are needed to curb the federal deficit & bring the US debt under control.
His cutbacks on #research come amid a broader clash that has seen Trump criticize #universities as *discriminatory* for their #diversity policies & denounce what he sees as a failure by some institutions to protect Jewish students from #antisemitism.

The threat to #academics' livelihoods at universities including #Yale, #Columbia & #JohnsHopkins has given #Europe's political leaders hope they could reap an #intellectual windfall.
A letter, reviewed by Reuters, signed in March by 13 European countries including #France, #Germany & #Spain, urged the #EU Commission to move fast to attract #academic talent.
