"Jeg har ikke tenkt å høre på hva du sier" "OK, da stikker jeg" "Hva, vil du ikke være med å påvirke?"

Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.

Norges forsvarsminister har invitert Pete Hegseth til Norge. Men hvordan mottar vi en krigsforbryter? (Siden det ikke er noen krig, er han ganske enkelt en morder). Med røp løper eller håndjern? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Ofattbara scener. Två unga palestinier i Jenin kommer ut från ett hus med händerna på huvudet. De beordras tillbaka in i huset av israeliska soldater, bara för att mördas i fullt dagsljus och med andra palestinier som bevittnar händelsen en bit bort. Soldaterna vet att de knappast riskerar straff.

Dette er bra content, tusen takk Meta!

A new fossil fungus discovered in Scotland shows evidence of plants and fungi sharing nutrients to survive on land. The fossil, more than 400 million years old, offers hints about the origin of one of the greatest partnerships in the history of life on Earth. www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

Disse funnene passer mildt sagt ikke så godt med fortellingene til Sigrid Bratlie om covid‑pandemiens opphav.. @langsiktsenter.bsky.social Med mindre koronavirusene i jungelen i Brasil har satt inn et "furin cleavage site" på pur f som del av en stor konspirasjon www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

“Furin cleavage site”, that is. Just casually, and naturally, sitting there in one of the most evolutionarily active parts of the genome. Mystery solved.

Nei. Det har utløst en ekkel stråmannsdebatt om ytringsfrihet mens det vi burde hatt var en hard debatt om meningsinnhold. Vårt offenlige ordskifte er på ville veier når absolutt alle diskusjoner om fæle meninger blit en avledende debatt om ytringsfrihet, ytringsklima og kansellering.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” - Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

As an author, I frequently encounter reviewers who should be overruled -- gatekeepers. My main complaint is has been that many editors do not have the confidence/expertise to do so (but some do). a) Thank goodness for preprints, b) I review with the expectation that the paper will be published.
