What exactly is the problem with AI music? Seems like a great idea and concept to me!

Rysslands ekonomiska problem tilltar noterbart. De står på gränsen till en teknisk recession och skuldsättningen ökar. Sanktionerna är stor del av varför. Hör mer om det och annat i Utrikesbyrån.

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

I'm so tired of Putin being seen as a respected leader by quite a lot of people. How is he not seen as a pariah by everyone?

Your regular reminder that anyone calling Ukraine a proxy is ignorant or disingenuous. Ukraine has held back Ru military aggression for 11+ yrs completely alone; secured moderate Western aid since 2022 through tireless advocacy; and has now defied US diplomatic pressure to surrender for over 10mo.

Anyone who calls Europe warmongers or talks about Ukrainian supporters wanting to fight to the last Ukrainian is a russian stooge. The only warmonger who seeks to kill as many as needed to subjugate and destroy Ukraine is the russian dictator.

The Russian army is exhausted too. Russia is taking far higher casualties than Ukraine, and after 3.5 years has barely moved the front line. The idea that Russia is “winning” is simply not supported by the evidence. As I told DW News.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

When Elon blew up Twitter he also fragmented online Econ. My solution has been to crosspost to X+Threads+BlueSky. I'm now seeing some interesting stuff on LinkedIn, so I've started to post there too. But I'm a newb. If you’ve got any pointers, I’d love to hear 'em: www.linkedin.com/in/justin-wo...

I had an AI assisted mammogram that detected cancer very early so it was easily treatable. I think that made my life better. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Juries are not perfect. Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials. But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having. They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.

Trump does not care about Ukrainian sovereignty or democracy. Trump does not frame this war as one between good vs evil, democrats vs autocrats, or the colonized vs the imperialists. He just wants the war to end so he can take credit. The details don't matter to him at all.

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

Att minska klassstorleken till 20 elever kräver cirka 25 % fler lärare, vilket ökar risken för brist och sänkt kompetens. Forskning visar att lärarkvalitet påverkar elevresultat 3–5 gånger mer än klassstorlek.

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given. The same is true for everyone who swear their oath. Hope that clears things up.

Are we winning yet?

Sluta skylla på politikerna. Se er i spegeln. forskning.se/2025/11/14/d...

The executive has encouraged the legislature to compel the executive to release files the executive holds and has chosen not to release despite calls from legislators. It's unclear whether the executive will veto the legislature's bill, and whether the legislature will over-ride the executive's veto

“Captivity keeps killing even after release,” Oleksandr Savov’s daughter said.

It’s unbelievable that there are still people in the world who look at this and somehow choose to support Russia.

The Russian neo-Nazi unit “Rusich”, one of the extremist groups Russia used to invade Ukraine while claiming to “denazify” it, has announced a contest for the best photo of murdered Ukrainian prisoners of war.

To my students: Lean into skills AI amplifies, not ones it bulldozes. Frame good questions, scope problems, interpret messy data, apply judgment, explain clearly. The bot can autocomplete; you bring curiosity, context, and ethics.

Forskningen visar entydigt att inskränkningar i hatbrottslagen riskerar att öka diskriminering, våld och psykisk ohälsa bland minoriteter, samt försvaga demokratin och social sammanhållning. Stater som skyddar alla grupper uppvisar starkare samhällstillit och bättre mänskliga rättigheter.

The Epstein Files… otherwise known as the Trump Pardon List

Russia unveiled its new humanoid robot, AIdol, in Moscow and it immediately collapsed👏🏼

For those idiots claiming that Russia is protecting Russian-speakers.

3 years ago today, the armed forces of Ukraine liberated Kherson. Ever since, Russia has done everything in its power to make the city uninhabitable. From across the river, they relentlessly bombard Kherson with glide bombs, artillery, and drones.

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

Western politicians talking about red lines. Have we heard it before? Did they turn out to actually be red lines? No.

”Unga som gått i friskolor klarar sig sämre på högskolan och har svårare att etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden. Hur länge ska vi acceptera ett skolsystem som ger vissa barn sämre förutsättningar för livet?” www.dn.se/ledare/isobe...

Återigen: Kan alla som åker utomlands på semester två gånger om året vänligen sluta skylla klimatkrisen på "politikerna"? Det är patetiskt.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Trump getting booed at the Commanders game

Det finns betydande överlapp mellan olika typer av träning när det gäller hälsoeffekter. Här är de två extremerna, styrketräning och konditionsträning. Det här belyser bra att någon typ av träning ger mycket. Men också varför både kondition och muskelstärkande finns i våra råd.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

When deception’s more profitable than honesty, users lose. Internal documents suggest that Meta earns $3.5B(!) every 6 mo. from scam ads, revealing a deeper systemic problem: the economic incentive to tolerate “higher legal risk” content still outweighs any penalty. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Must read. Basically, if you’ve fallen for Ru propaganda, the chatbots will dig you in even deeper. Also note this: “Grok provided the highest number of Russian sources even when asked neutral questions, the research found.” Higher than the Chinese chatbot!

Dems wins are not only important for the political offices gained, the control denied to Republicans. But they are perhaps even more important for the bandwagon effect and consensus heuristic that will convince parts of the public susceptive to mass signals that Dems are the „right“ choice.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.
