Fasinerande å sjå skodda komma veltande innover.

Den 'lurer folk til å stemme' er en egen diskusjon, som jeg ser problemet ved. Men som det heter med et gammelt ord: "hykleriet er lastens tributt til dyden". Alle slike utsagn er på en måte performative, selv det klassiske "jeg er ikke rasist men", bærer i seg at du konfirmerer at rasisme er feil

Ukrainian strikes on Crimea are not new, but the current campaign marks a shift from sporadic attacks on high-value military targets to a sustained effort to make the peninsula harder to supply and hold.

Synd at me ikkje er ein kystnasjon, slik at me hadde hatt fiskeressurar å nytte oss av.

For ei falitterklæring av eit mediekonsern! Leiger inn pr-hjelp. Ubegripelig inkompetent. Alt grunna feil fokus.

🇵🇱 "This sounds like an announcement of a provocation. I expect an attack on Russian territory under a false flag, to which Putin will "respond". I remind you that in August 1939, the Abwehr staged a "Polish" attack on a radio station in Gleiwitz to give itself a pretext for war," he noted.

Eksternalisering av kostnadene. Nettopp.

Et bilde av Amedia-sjef Anders Opdahl med Ray-Bans Meta-briller foran Amedia-logoen er mer enn et uskyldig portrett. Det viser en norsk mediebransje som kritiserer plattformgigantene offentlig, samtidig som den både tilpasser seg og kopierer den samme logikken.

I thought this deserves its own post. A lid is blown off the tank by the attack on the Moscow oil refinery.

1/2 The greatest lie Russia ever told was convincing people it is a superpower. Its economy is smaller than Italy's. Its GDP per capita is lower than Uruguay's. Its military is the second-best... in Ukraine.

"Først dukker videoene opp på Tiktok, der de spres av falske kontoer. Så dukker de opp på meldingstjenesten Telegram, der de sprer seg til hele verden. Så kan de dukke opp på andre plattformer,... Til slutt kan de bli delt av ekte nyhetsmedier, noe som får KI-videoene til å fremstå mer troverdige."

Hourly wages are up 3% since 2019. Corporate profits are up 50%. Labor’s piece of the economic pie is the smallest it’s been in over 75 years, while corporate profits’ share is the *biggest* it’s been since 1950. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Det er no litt merkeleg, då, at ein i prinsippet kan fakturerast for å legge ut ein skjermdump frå ei nettavis som skal ha betaling for ikkje å bruke personopplysningane dine.

Her kommer en tråd over ting vi sanker og eter. Fortrinnsvis kommer postene etter hvert som vi finner artene. Av begrenset interesse antagelig. Om ikke annet kan det bli en nyttig kalender for meg til neste år.

The culture war is the perfect tool for the billionaire class. It keeps the public divided over identity while trickle-down economics continues to drain their bank accounts. When you are fighting your neighbor, you aren't fighting the system

Etter konfirmasjonen kjem skuffelsen, gradvis og brutalt:

On this day 70 years ago-May 1, 1956-the polio vaccine was first made widely available to the public. The vaccine’s developer, Dr. Jonas Salk, did not patent the vaccine so that it would remain available to as many people as possible in the US and internationally. Image: Harvey Georges/AP.

Perish the thought. He might then start wars that he loses, make enemies out of friends, turn the state on its own people, fuel inflation by tariffs & fall out from war And be forced to take cognitive tests 3 times in a year or so where he has to distinguish a bear from a giraffe and a shark

I den grad nordmenn veit noko om brasiliansk matproduksjon er det mange myter og liten kunnskap. Dette er ikkje eit forsøk på å fortelle heile sanninga, men litt av den: www.norsklandbruk.no/brasil-har-g...

Ukraine’s total casualties are about two to three times lower than Russia’s, but its civilian casualties are dozens of times higher. That stark contrast tells you everything you need to know about the nature of this war and who is in the wrong

"What does that mean for food production? I would get to up to 10 billion meals that will not be produced every week as a result of the lack of fertilisers." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Imagine the thrill of a lifetime in going all the way to the moon... And then coming back and being forced to meet with this piece of trash.

"Before Trump began his war the Strait of Hormuz was open. Eight weeks into the war it is closed. Iran’s key chess move in this war, a simple one that was entirely foreseeable, has succeeded. The world will remember that Iran can make this move again in the future." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
