Terrible headline (this is NOT what the new research - link below - shows!), terrible AI image! Argh! Here’s the actual research: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Where do I start?! 1/4

Skjønar ikkje denne “Barth Eide Jr praktikant i Paris” saka. Sjølvsagt er pappa inhabil, men når ministeren ikkje er involvert i tilsettinga, og det ville jo vore absurd om han involverte seg i ei praktikantstilling på ein ambasade, skjønar eg ikkje kva ein evt settestatsråd skal gjere?

So I think it's fair to say that only a tiny, tiny percentage of the US population was tied up with Epstein. But weirdly maybe 70% of the people in the field of evolutionary psychology.

We must stop pretending that Brexit was just a domestic choice. It was a successful Russian hybrid operation designed to shatter Western cooperation. This betrayal has left both the UK and the EU more vulnerable to aggression. Those who still defend it are idiots or traitors

58 years later, that same rule was used to disqualify Ukraine's flag bearer for wearing a helmet honoring athletes killed by Russia. "This is the price of our dignity," Heraskevych said. Remembrance is not violation.

Many European traitors and idiots are about to get a lot of money

Happy birthday, Chuck. Proud to carry on your legacy of studying evolutionary biology while going through it

Just now: Jordan Bardella and his party voted against the €90B EU loan to Ukraine in the European Parliament. This aid is crucial to Ukraine, and the vote shows once again that the RN sides with Russia. Traitors will be traitors

"Each Russian who signs a contract to invade Ukraine must know that he also signs himself a lifelong entry ban to Europe," Ukrainian FM Andriy Sybiha wrote on X, urging EU colleagues to adopt Estonia's blacklist mechanism across the entire Schengen zone. euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/09/u...

Of all European countries I have a feeling Norway will be the least able to stop running on Microsoft. It’s embedded like a virus. Even in schools, kids spend their entire digital lives in OneNote, Teams, sharepoint. They hardly know what a file or a folder is.

Ref Norge sin totale avhengigheit av (ofte dårleg) Amerikansk tek. Det gjer oss ikkje berre sårbare for angrep, vi betalar for angrepa. I det føydale tekoligarkiet USA matar føydalherrene kongen med cash mot godvilje. Vi betalar indirekte for destabiliseringa av eigne demokrati. La oss slutte?

This story should be retitled. The US is actually funding pro-Putin think tanks, ones that want to end European democracy. Lets be honest about this.

Just sayin’.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

Here we go! As predicted, full on Germany 1933 playbook

This is what a thermal power plant in one of Kyiv’s districts looks like now. It was designed exclusively to produce heat for residents, and after yesterday’s massive attack, repairs will take some time.

I have lost count of how many times people have said I am too conspiracy minded with regards to Russia. But I have very often been proven right. However, it never occurred to me that maybe Epstein also had a Russian connection.

Dimwits will dim wits. hint: y-axis

The ironi is that so much of the tech we rely on (looking hard at you Microsoft) is SO BAD. And would be SO EASILY REPLACED by a competent actor. But here we are. disclaimer: stats from proton who would benefit from a switch to European tech & hosting proton.me/business/eur...

#putler strategy don't work. #warcrimes will not win you anything.

Det er litt rart med Thorbjørn Jagland. Han har vore leiar i AUF, partisekretær, parlamentarisk leiar og leiar i Arbeiderpartiet, utanriksminister, statsminister, stortingspresident, leiar av Nobelkomiteen, generalsekretær i Europarådet - og likevel vart det liksom ingenting av han. Det er rart.

Så Børge Brende støtta Epstein i at Davos burde erstatte FN og brukast til å koordinere krypto, cyber…. og genetikk. Dette høyres jo både lystig og vitenskapelig ut

Asle Toje har altså hatt tett kontakt med Steve Bannon, og omtales her som «the nobel guy». Ivrig på å sette opp møte mellom Bannon og Listhaug…

The brazen and breezy stupidity of Trumperican leadership is staggering. They think there’s a strong independence movement in Alberta? This amounts to openly exploring venues for a war on Canada. This is insanity even on a Trumpian scale www.ft.com/content/11dc...

1/ Trump Administration officials have reportedly held several secret meetings with Canadian separatists, who are seeking US$500 billion to bankroll their efforts. It suggests that the Administration is interested in breaking up Canada and absorbing the remnants. ⬇️

Stay classy Trumperica!

Trump's relentless bullying of Ukraine presented as a "peace process" is making us sound like broken records. Like, how many times do we have to say that asking Ukraine to withdraw from its most fortified region in exchange for another useless Budapest memorandum offer is a dumb proposition?

Well that won’t happen then. Giving away fortified land for a Trumperican «security guarantee» would be suicidal

Budanov. No wonder he is so popular in Ukraine.

Trumperica is too much even for this corrupt old fart

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I read this years ago. Feels more relevant than ever press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

I'm not American. Nobody needs my commentary on MN today I am British, though. And our soft-serve-the-fascism, both-sides-at-all-costs-and-fuck-the-evidence national broadcaster is a fucking disgrace

The Board of Peace is a giant cash laundry

The events of the last 24 hours show why it's important to build functional verification structures in public and counterpublic spaces to resist the authoritarian erosion of our democratic systems, as described in this thread.

This is where European leaders underestimate their constituents - the majority of people are willing to pay the price of standing up for core values and principles. It seems most politicians believe people have no capacity for complex thought beyond assessing day-to-day purchasing power

Sovereignty requires a population willing to withstand pain for what they believe in - that was the background to Carney’s Davos speech. Tim and I chatted about what Canada has actually been doing the past year - building a coalition that will endure suffering inflicted by the US:

“Sovereignty exists when a country’s leader can credibly say their constituency is ready to be hurt, because what they value is worth the cost. Canada’s risking American security ire and market access to forge its own path is a show of force.” Trump threatens this AM: buttondown.com/polycrisisdi...

We’ve seen this movie before 😬 www.politico.eu/article/eu-n...

Carney at Davos: "And this aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable, as the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself." Trump at Davos:

The reactions to that Carney speech must have made an impression on Trumps reptile brain. He can of course not untangle the meaning of it - too many long and new words, complex sentences built from deep insights, meant to invoke feelings and emotions Trump simply has no capacity for.

Fascinerande tal av Kanadas premiärminister Mark Carney. "We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient." Hela: www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Mark Rutte (NATO) to Trump: “Mr. President, dear Donald – what you accomplished in Syria today is incredible. I will use my media engagements in Davos to highlight your work there, in Gaza, and in Ukraine. I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can’t wait to see you. Yours, Mark.”

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them: "We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be." "What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

Plausible in this timeline.

Appeasement never works…

2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America? 2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America? 2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?

No som vi har trykka pads og PCar nedover skuleungane våre ligg jo verkeleg alt til rette for å faktisk lære dei å bruke linux (veldig lavterskel i desse dagar). Men nei, vi trykker dei inn i Microsoft-universet, som både er dårleg og kommersielt og i siste instans under Trump sin kontroll.

My last two shots before my world went dark.
