This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Happy to have discovered, perhaps belatedly, the presence of @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on Bluesky. I have considered her one of the world's most important journalists on tech since she wrote on Cambridge Analytica after the brexit vote. Check out her Substack: open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Parkeringsnormen i Oslo er i spill. Og NRK gjør seg til hendig talerør for Høyre og den nye bilvennlige ledelsen i handelsstanden. Men altså her gjelder det å holde tungen rett i munnen: for hva handler p-normen om? Dette må bli en tråd. www.nrk.no/stor-oslo/by...

If you wonder why today‘s côterie of tech brothers and American far right are so hysterically against regulations and taxes, it might be related to the fact they believe it is the Antichrist. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Brilliant essay from @ianleslie.bsky.social drawing some connections between the late 19th century Vienna of the double monarchy and contemporary cultural unease. Made me order a book referenced in the article too. (The thumbnail is misleading, but the link is correct) substack.com/app-link/pos...

Noen må fortelle et par professorer på UiB at det i internasjonal politikk finnes "endelige sannheter", og at det er døden. De tenker ytringsfrihet er en abstrakt lek som tillater Glenn Diesen å bruke sin yrkestittel ved et universitet for å "problematisere" at Russland dreper. tinyurl.com/274zka92

A favourite from ca 1559: Sofonisba Anguissola’s self portrait, including her teacher painting her. Take also note of her extra hand. Gloriously, rebelliously clever.

Bordering on the prophetic, an article from 1994 on how “A vast political space is thus left vacant by the Republican/Tory non-sequitur, on the one hand, and moderate Left particularism and assistentialism, on the other.” www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v1...
