There is something with this woman that make a certain group of white men absolutely furious - they suddenly acquire the executive function of two year olds who are denied cookies, and start outlining spectacularily cooky conspiracy theories. I can just applaud her.

Usktober day 9: bridge Rather to pale, this wasn't a good day. #inktober

Usktober day 9, Gate (in Venice, from two years ago) #inktober

Nu är ju den stora frågan: Vad får det palestinska folket? De är ju inte Hamas. @svtnyheter.bsky.social

Usktober 8: Flow (Gothenburg, Fiskebäck) #inktober

Usktober 7: plant #inktober

Sänkt skatt går in i höjda priser, särskilt där det finns konkurrens (upplevelser, mark, boende). Hut mycket man än sänker skatten för etniskt svensk välmående medelklass kommer vi inte heller klara oss när det blir verkliga problem, som sjukdom och olyckor - för det krävs ett fungerande samhälle.

'“There are people I don’t like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover,” Goodall tells interviewer Brad Falchuk during the revelatory 55-minute special discussing her life, work and legacy.'

Usktober day 6: Doorway

Tråd: Som @vitkor.bsky.social påpekat finns en mycket intressant parallell till Ukraina vad gäller Gazakonvojen. Regeringen kör ju all in på linjen ”det råder reseavrådan, de borde inte ha åkt”. I en intervju med SVT säger Kristersson att aktivisterna inte kan förvänta sig någon hjälp.

People who oppose the powers that be often know the risk. That doesn't mean the rest of us should accept it. Many Swedes seem to believe we only owe consideration to those who follow the rules, ethical or not. I leave it as an exercise to think about how a world like that would look like.

USKtober (Urban sketching inktober) day 5: statue Järntorget, Göteborg

Doing inktober, but with water colours and my own urban sketching list. Here are "balcony" and "shadow" that I draw today and yesterday.

Go watch Zone of Interest about Auschwitz commander Höss and think about what Ursula K Leguin called the banality of evil: the problem isn't dark overlords, it is all the rest of us who are too comfortable, too willing to bow down for the powers that be. Democracy needs civil disobedience.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

Samhall är på charmoffensiv - jag får reklam från dem hela tiden. Givet att de kritiserats starkt så kan jag tycka att de kanske borde möta kritiken i reklamen, men är det främst feelgood.

Jag saknar fackdagarna på bokmässan. Jag brukade få biljetter av mitt lokala bibliotek när jag gick i mellan- och högstadiet. Jag lullade omkring och pratade med folk och gick på seminarier. Eftersom jag var alltför ung för att ha varken bokaffär eller förlag försökte ingen sälja något till mig.

Since antifa isn't an organisation, it is just something people that are against fascists call themselves, this begs the question: Is it now forbidden to say you are against fascists? Does this include denigrating Franco, Mussolini and/or Hitler?

The U.S. military’s openness to the press was never a favor to journalists, but an obligation to a country that asks its sons and daughters to volunteer for service. The Defense Department's new policy puts that in jeopardy, Nancy A. Youssef writes.

Det är inte så att jag är för klimatförändringar, men vi kommer få ett par gloriösa år i Norden innan det skiter sig på riktigt.

Gothenburg is really pretty at night.

Whoever sabotaged the UN teleprompter, so Trump had to adlib his speech, is either a hero or a villain and I can't decide which. I am just boggled, and this comes from someone with very few illusions left. youtu.be/QF_Pxqvr708

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Hur bygger vi en kultur där man kan sätta sig in i problem man inte själv har? www.svt.se/kultur/alex-...

The name of this guy who worked on the Meta glasses 😂 www.thegentlemansjournal.com/article/rocc...

Best illustration of survivorship bias ever, matching the fantasy artists' fetishization of female armor perfectly. I used to be a great fan of Sherlockian scholarship - the practice of creating reasonable explanations for inconsistencies in the canon.

Ni… tänker väl… ni tänker väl inte… skriva ner dem?

Hehe

Scouter.

Noterar att den svenska regeringen skäller judiska demonstranter för odjur. Det gick nog väldigt, väldigt dåligt när våra folkvalda tänkte.

1) Young conservative activist held many well-attended events on many college campuses debating left-wing arguments 2) Campuses are rigidly orthodox places that don't allow conservative ideas, let alone open debate These are contradictory! 1 disproves 2! Reason has gone out the window with this.

I woke up and now I want to go back and be cozy again.

It is recklessly pushed down, BUT this current use is not from "the top down", it is people. Overworked, with demands on them and too little time, lazy (as all us humans are), shortcutting - Whether good or bad, it will be used and we need to figure out how to protect our information ecosystems.

A former Mossad officer captured the sentiment among Israeli security experts: “The targets are evil. The world is a better place without them. The timing is political and stupid.”

Well, this made the point more haunting and better.

I am more fascinated by-fog-of-war by than by strategy, even though I am maybe even more fascinated by how we mostly pretend that war is strategic, planned, controlled, precise. Bigelow's new movie, House of Dynamite, is going to be harrowing and fascinating. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Kolla upp din bank och protestera allt du kan mot de som förvärrar klimatkrisen. ”De senaste tre åren har 53 svenska miljarder investerats i bolag som är aktiva inom norsk utvinning av olja och gas. Det handlar bland annat om företagslån som ges från svenska banker till oljebolag i grannlandet.”

Vem tror på påståendet att detta skulle vara en cigarett som startar en brand på fartyget i Gazakonvojen?

Høyre: Pekar på Sveriges skattepolitik som ett fint exempel. Också Høyre:

If there is one thing that's going to be awesome with ending the American hegemony over all things digital, is that we might *finally* have products that are designed for users who are not monolingual. It is not that difficult. It's just a matter of people not seeing outside their own box.

I find it deeply disturbing that we are spending a lot of time talking about how to address the few possible cases of children interacting with Large Language Models in a bad way and too little time discussing how to address that a lot of children are being targeted in wars all over the world.

I was thinking about my reading practices in a world of attention economy, and too much information. I read things for three reasons: I gain new insights in an area where I want to know more. I care for the writer. They are fun to read (this includes fun but unneeded insights).

De som vill #privatisera #vatten bör titta på hur det går i Storbritannien. #Timbro, inte så förvånande, gör hellre teoretiska resonemang om att privatiserat vatten skulle kunna förbättra det för Sydamerika, och därmed Sverige(?). Resonemanget haltar. Kolla på Sydafrika istället, där de försökte.

Nostalgitripp. Barnet förstod inte storheten hos just denna klädhängare.
