You'll all be shocked to learn that reorienting the whole economy around cramming AI into everything has not produced any economic benefit outside of the AI companies. www.apollo.com/wealth/the-d...

Quite interesting developments currently taking place in Norway. The country recently concluded a defence treaty with France, after similar agreements with the UK and Germany. The French treaty includes a nuclear element. Norway is a NATO member, but not part of the EU.

Endelig er Alm - Senter for økonomisk politikk lansert! Vi skal bidra til en bedre økonomisk politikk, og en mer mangfoldig økonomidebatt. Gleder meg! e24.no/norsk-oekono...

Holy cope. It’s pathetic how dishonest these people are. Russian officials have been clear about wanting regime change in Ukraine

God tekst! www.minerva.no/boker-kunsti...

Fett initiativ av @kariekaski.bsky.social! Også med @olavslettebo.bsky.social med på laget – en uslåelig kombo! Folketrygdfondet er vel øverst på agendaen, formoder jeg?

The German far-right party, AfD, is not hiding its full alignment with Russia. This is a good thing, because everyone in Germany should know that by voting for them, they are supporting not only fascists, but also pathetic traitors

In February, Trump purchased over $1 million in Dell stock. Just weeks ago, Trump told everyone to “go out and buy a Dell.” Its stock price is up over 60% since then. Now, Dell has been awarded a $9.7 BILLION Pentagon contract. See the problem here?

If you do not understand by now that this vile edifice has nothing to do with dancing and everything to do with the imposition of martial law in Washington, I don't know what to tell you except that it's time to put the Berenstain Bears books aside and start reading history books

Rart at laksenæringa snor seg unna å betale skatt, for hver gang man prøver å skattlegge dem er de jo intenst opptatt av å understreke hvor gjerne de betaler skatt, bortsett fra akkurat den skatten man snakker om der og da, såklart

Veldig interessant! www.vg.no/nyheter/i/8p...

International Rescue’s David Miliband says the current Ebola outbreak could become the deadliest on record without urgent international action. He cites three factors accelerating the spread, one of which is “severe global aid cuts”. Trump and Musk did that.

It is frankly very silly that there are people on the ostensible left who dismiss this out of hand, all legitimate criticism of the use of US soft power notwithstanding.

The Russian propaganda dam is breaking. Under the current approach, Russia can't sustain its losses and Ukraine is gaining initiative. Putin could mobilize but doing so would be politically and economically disastrous. He also can't just walk away. We are nearing a major inflection point.

The entire world needs to forever hold Elon Musk and the DOGE douches accountable for their actions in causing all of this.

Prime Minister Péter Magyar backed Ukraine's right to self-defense and criticized the Budapest Memorandum. "Ukraine is a victim and has the right to defend itself by all possible means in order to preserve its territorial integrity and sovereignty," Péter Magyar emphasized.

Ekstremt underrapportert sak.

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.

Jeg skrev tidligere i dag om at Trump har raidet statskassa. snoen.substack.com/p/ran-pa-hyl... I tillegg har han sikret seg immunitet, for all fremtid, mot ettersyn fra skattevesenet. Så kjekt. Og arbeidssparende. Alle skjønner jo at denne mannen aldri ville tenke på å unndra seg skatt!

Ukraine is starting to prevail, the Kremlin is becoming more nervous. Now Russia is testing new intensity (and forms) of pressure on the Eastern Flank countries. 1/

Even if future habitats remain suitable, many species may never reach them. A new study finds that under >4°C warming, ~78% of Earth’s land could lose the connectivity needed for wildlife migration by 2061–2080, increasing risks of isolation and biodiversity loss. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The body of another child was found under the debris. Russia killed two kids and 14 adults in #Kyiv today. It injured 57 more. I can't find words. I am aching and sorry for everyone whose lives were ruined by Russia. RIP.

King Charles III: In this volatile world, my Government will continue to pursue foreign policy based on a calm assessment of the national interest. It will continue its unflinching support for the brave people of Ukraine, who are fighting on the frontline of freedom.

Selvfølgelig er Norgespris en del av forklaringen på økt strømforbruk. Hvorfor skulle ellers økningen vært størst for hyttene, som ikke hadde strømstøtte fra før? Det kommer til å komme evalueringer av denne ordningen, og de kommer til å være nådeløse. www.nrk.no/norge/krafti...

“That’s where billionaires like yourself come in. For a mere $10 million gift, you can help us remake the intellectual landscape by endowing a prestigious chair in an underrepresented subfield, such as geocentric astronomy, high-energy phlogiston physics, or patriotic history.“ 😂

Of all the horrors inflicted by Russia’s war, the abduction of Ukrainian children is one of its worst. Stealing children is a calculated Russian attack on Ukraine’s future. Bringing them home is a priority. We support this with funding, aid and sanctions.

Vilje Media (Gunnar Fiksdal) har laget podcast om diskusjonen rundt Norges Bank med Olav Slettebø og meg. Jeg lærte mye og hadde det fint. En god samtale å være med på. Kanskje skjemmet av at jeg slet med en noe allergipreget røst, men ellers vil jeg anbefale resultatet😀 youtu.be/oc9O5fE8gGs?...

Det har ingen hensikt å forsøke seg som motstemme i kommentarfeltene. Ansvarlige medier bør heller rydde dem av veien.

Right now, at least 5 people are confirmed dead after Russian glide bomb strike in Kramatorsk. People are lying dead on the streets... ​They are randomly launching missiles at our cities in the middle of the day to maximize casualties. There is no military goal, only terrorism.
