- Nu när Kanada ska försvara sig mot samma tiger de tidigare försökte rida på, drar de lärdomar från Afghanistans djupa dalar och höga berg. De föreställer sig ett konventionellt krig med gerillaoperationer, uppbackade av Europa. www.etc.se/kommentar/ka...

i’m fascinated by this new strategy wjere multiple ai company CEOs have been going on tears tours this year so far complaining about how anti ai sentiment has hurt their businesses

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

if two people are already restraining someone physically while spraying their face with pepper spray, that is torture, plain and simple. no debate to be had about it

The Bayeux Tapestry is cool as hell. A 230 foot-long textile account of the Norman Conquest from the 11th C., with lots of fun details, including 626 people, 190 horses, 35 dogs, 32 ships, & 93 penises. "Are there eels?" you ask. Of course there are eels! Let's take a look! 1/8 🗃️🧪

As we are always saying, wills are an incredibly rich source of information about the past.

You have some discretion about how much personal detail you put in your will but it's arguably TMI to inform your heirs and the Prerogative Court of Canterbury that you're 'in good healthe of harte and all my members excepte the defect in makinge of my water'

Government of, by, and for Twitter trolls

Zohran CLAIMS to be a socialist, and yet he keeps doing things that I can only categorise as 'king shit'. INTERESTING.

Early modern music folk: has anyone heard of Thomas Gardner and his consort of musicians? This is 1587.

Somehow missed that it isn't released until Thursday, and was for a moment really disappointed in my podcast player for not giving me the episode

Always follow:

i know everyone's read this now but listen, we got milkshake duck from twitter, now we have musicology duck, i think the world is healing

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Om den nya utredningen: ”Alla matbud, alla i last mile-branschen och till och med de flesta plattformstaxiförarna är redan löntagare. De är anställda av bulvaner, alltså av falska arbetsköpare.” säger @pntsns.bsky.social från @gigwatch.bsky.social www.arbetaren.se/2026/01/19/n...

I'd argue that the AI wasn't art until it was eaten

Andor was cooking so unbelievably hard good grief

Incredible levels of cope :')

Folk måste verkligen sluta formulera sig som att dom tror på vad politiker säger: "X vill göra Y, ändå gör dom Z!". Nej, X vill helt uppenbarligen göra Z (bevis: dom gör Z), däremot så vill dom att du ska posta om att dom vill göra Y. Skriv att dom ljuger bara. Gör samtalet lite mindre dumt.

Me everyday :

Living in a 500 year old building we are still working out what some features, or what’s left, represent. This construction forms part of the kitchen which was added to the existing hall in around 1600. I wonder if anyone has seen similar features somewhere else?

Found a way to do the straight ally flag for my mini gate crushers series. Was quite the challenge working with those tiny stripes, but i'm happy i've managed to include it.

And one more thing. Students. If you have a professor who is, for some reason, outsourcing their own job to ChatGPT....drop the class. If they tell you to "ask ChatGPT" for sources, drop the class. Because they apparently don't know their own discipline well enough to teach it.

I have some more bad news. If an admissions committee even suspects you used ChatGPT for your application letter, they'll almost certainly decide not to waste a precious admissions spot on you. Instead they'll give it to, you know, someone who actually likes to write and knows how to do it.

I have a feeling that Miller might not have the best grasp of history, 'cause that is a *massive* over-simplification of how territorial control has historically worked

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.

This made me giggle

I know Lunar New Year is coming up and this is probably a bit of a trivial thing. But as a former supply chain nerd, I’d really ask …. please don’t buy from the flower and plant industrial complex.

But maybe a couple things from your local tiny flower shop so they can keep the doors open and pay themselves a bit😅

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Copenhagen town hall square, Denmark right now. Massive solidarity with Greenland demonstrations. Source: dr.dk

This episode literally had me in tears on the train, and reminded me why I engage in politics. It was powerful and emotional, and you should all listen to it. Listen to it, seriously.

Toad sipped his tea. “Frog,” he asked, “are you making this up?” “Maybe yes and maybe no,” said Frog.

Om någon tvivlar på varför inga normala människor borde ha med SD eller Riks att göra.

My friends are so goddamn funny

The Danish researchers—Christine Stabell Benn, and her husband, Peter Aaby—at University of Southern Denmark who sought to conduct this study must explain themselves, and they must be held accountable by their peers if nothing else. What a goddamn disgrace

HC gas is evil shit. It will give you both acid and thermal burns on your skin, eyes, and lungs, poison you systemically (with long-term sequelae if you live), and will kill you outright in high concentrations (or if you’re just unlucky). This is a weapon of intentional and sadistic harm.

We have an update on Charlie’s newfound love of printing.

There's no real security in any job now.

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

Det här är bokstavligen bara kulturkrigspunkter direkt importerade ifrån USA och Storbritannien. Det här är inte problem i verkligheten, och det enda det leder till är att göra det än mer osäkert för transpersoner (särskilt transkvinnor) att vistas i offentligheten.

Jag blir så otroligt arg. Den nya könstillhörighetslagen var så urvattnad att det var en pyrrhus-seger som bäst, och nu vill de här [censurerat] dra tillbaks även den? Och för vad? Importerade kulturkrigsargument om trans-personer i sport och omklädningsrum. www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/a/5p6...

With every moment that we struggle with some palaeography, another archivist is attracted to the document. At the current rate, the entire archive sector will be in the office by the end of the day.
