bid of an odd essay in the otherwise great equator. granted i read a lot more news about ukraine than the man on the street, but its struggles with forced conscription have been rather thoroughly covered in international media?

would love to talk to a mandarin speaker about wong kar wai's blossoms shanghai, which based on the two episodes i've seen, is both the weakest thing he's made and set in what appears to be the chinese equivalent of lee greenwood's idea of 1950s america

när jag växte upp (i en väldigt, väldigt rasistisk del av Texas) på 90-talet, om nån pratade så här folk skulle tänka han var med i Klanen

performative marilynne robinson gang rise up

Would love a deep dive into what's gone weird in her algorithm to lead to this.

my advice to the swedish left is the next time a blogger decides to be a giant cornball and call everyone silly names you can just ignore them rather then dedicating 3-4 whole news cycles to giving them attention www.flamman.se/renhetsvanst...

“If civilization is what counts … the likelihood of violence between Ukrainians and Russians should be low. They are two Slavic, primarily Orthodox peoples who have had close relationships with each other for centuries.”

håller med och vill tillägga: tänk hur det känns att göra så här på ett språk som man lärde sig först när man var typ 35 år

efter tio år i sverige måste jag erkänna att jag fortfarande inte har någon ide om vad folk menar när de använder ordet 'kränkning', och jag kommer troligen att dö innan jag löser det

🔴 Ukrainian Pravda reports that anti-corruption agencies NABU & SAPO are conducting searches at the residence of the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak. www.pravda.com.ua/news/2025/11...

discovering a new form of cross cultural confusion this year when a swedish friend asked me to explain thanksgiving to their child and halfway through doing the traditional spiel she made clear 'no the one about how the settlers then took advantage of and killed all the native americans'

now that i no longer live in the region and have to hear this from Uncles on a daily basis i have come to find branko's Area Serbian Uncle* schtick charming *don't be fooled by the name, Area Serbian Uncles are typical of many ethnic groups

important for people who haven't been through the green card process to know this statement reads to us who have as 'federal law does not prohibit a dog from playing basketball' www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

set piece efffff seeeeeeee

in trying to google my way to a link to something i published awhile back i stumbled across a blog that included elaborate fantasies about me personally i only skimmed it before closing the tab but actual public figures are right when they talk about how stressful this is

compare to how its going in europe, where most of the sustainability team at my old consultancy got sacked in the last few weeks because the eu told everyone not to bother with reporting

truly the archetypal local stockholm news story: wealthy homeowners trying to expand the size of a proposed nature reserve to prevent anyone from building (gasp!) rental apartments in the area www.mitti.se/nyheter/oro-...

missing caucasus twitter because i really do need someone to explain to me why pashinyan is consistently portrayed as the bad guy in his government's battle with the church www.dw.com/en/armenia-a...

känns som att både vanligt folk och ledarskribenter har börjat erkänna vilken kass ide det är att kasta ut folk ur landet. hoppas att det inte är för sent.

After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low. European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths! Me in @theguardian.com

You may have gotten the impression that I hated the del Toro Frankenstein and your impression would be correct. Here's my review www.dailysabah.com/arts/reviews...

brommapojkarna mentioned www.theguardian.com/football/202...

what might be stockholm's most complex parking sign has gone up in my neighborhood

that’s absolutely right Alex 🗣️🗣️🗣️

From Reddit - the second generation of Syrians are now growing up in Turkey without any right to work

speaking of literary journalism, how in the world can two people who write magazine articles for a living afford to live in a georgetown townhouse?

this is the headline and subhed about an election the danish social democrats are likely going to lose to parties to their left www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

this is an incredible public service

worth underlining that these sorts of policies have neither benefitted the danish social democrats electorally nor reduced support for the far right. i understand social democrats PR flacks say differently but its very easy to disabuse oneself of these notions with a few minutes on wikipedia

poland must switch to cyrillic

easy one

godmorgon! idag skriver jag, binto bali och maria santillana om demokratisk resiliens i dn debatt. läs gärna! www.dn.se/debatt/modeo...

noam chomsky kind of has to get off scot free from the epstein emails as he's rather famously responded politely to every email he's received for decades

i once spent six or eight weeks in a seemingly non-stop whatsapp conversation trying to get another parent to stop trying to divide a soccer team of six year olds into A and B teams

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

not to be too much of a downer but as someone who lives in a place where we have the northern lights pretty regularly: all of the photos you see on social media are not at all how they look to the naked eye

Påståendet från Edholm är falskt. Det finns inga bevis för att det finns en meningsfull mängd invandrare som inte pratar svenska. Nästan alla invandrare i Sverige kan jättebra/flytande svenska efter flera år. De enda undantagen jag känner till är äldre personer och folk som jobbar på engelska

a development i really did not see coming and seems bad in terms of reading comprehension is the shift over the last few years from 'the eXile's satire was in bad taste' to 'reading the eXile literally'

activists used to be exposed to this sort of thing when i worked in yanukovych-era ukraine. however, we could never trace it back to an oligarch or party flack, apparently because the social stigma against the character assassination of private citizens was stronger there than it is sweden

while sweden's period of high gun violence is definitively over, the bad news is shootings on the island of gotland have increased by infinity percent

bästa svängen, hökarängen

one day i will understand why all record stores in stockholm - the largest city in the nordics - close by 6pm

my fav example of how awful legalized gambling is is finnish soccer, which has regular problems with match-fixing, human trafficking (!), and organized scams because they play games outside the standard fifa schedule and therefore provide soccer to bet on year-round for the world's gambling addicts

went to bed last night assuming - this is not a joke - that rumors of the senate democrats capitulating were just social media engagement bait

thinking of undertaking a one man crusade to rescue the reputation of clint eastwoods 1997 film midnight in the garden of good and evil

This is absolute BULLSHIT! Unapologetic support for multiculturalism is barely heard even among Green parties these days. Freezing of rent? Where in Europe is this standard policy? Which governments and mainstream parties are calling Israel’s destruction of Gaza “genocide”?

lite orolig att svenskar tror att Mamdani vann på grund av en TikTok-video, istället för att han byggde upp en an gräsrotsrörelse av 50,000 kampanjarbetare. större än alla partier utom S, och i en stad med två miljoner färre människor. www.dn.se/kultur/gabri...

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.
