Den oberoende moderata ledarsidan hyllar Timbro för att ha presterat en bok om de bisarra konsekvenserna av den inhumana migrationspolitik som genomförts av den regering som Timbro lobbade för. Samtidigt…

Ignoring the obvious issues of creating a tiered system of punishment, stripping citizenship as a punishment isn't effective because people can just renounce their non-Swedish citizenship. All it does is chip away at the rule of law and weaken the value of citizenship.

The Swedish 🇸🇪 Parliament just approved a law that would create a tiered citizenship scheme, with a 1st class (mostly for the native born) that cannot be revoked and a 2nd class (mostly for the naturalized) that can: www.svt.se/nyheter/inri... Only two parties (Left and Green) voted against.

Once again about to haunt the living rooms of the innocent and unsuspecting 📺😂

When I grew up, the main fault-line between right and left had to do with whether you thought individual rights or social welfare was more important. The current brand of populist nationalism seems dead set on making sure we have neither: www.thelocal.se/20260211/i-a...

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Oh look, the stupidest thing you could possibly do

“Don’t say ‘I told you so’” “Don’t say ‘I told you so’” “Don’t say ‘I told you so’” “Don’t say ‘I told you so’” “Don’t say ‘I told you so’” “Don’t say ‘I told you so’” “Don’t say ‘I told you so’” “Don’t say #philsky

JP Morgan is still in the first stage of grief: denial. Next up, anger, bargaining, and depression.

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

Student came up after class to request I use a smaller font on my PowerPoints. Is this a thing? I have literally never considered that font sizes can be too large. (Representative slide for background.)

I love this line. Like: ”Welcome to the Philosophy Department!” 🫡

Obligatory snapshots from a day in lovely Uppsala ☀️

Inte förvånad, men ändå lite chockad, över hur oförblommerat man kan uttrycka fördomar mot äldre: www.tidningencurie.se/nyheter/hon-... Ersätt ”gamla” med ”utlandsfödda” eller ”mörkhyade” och hör hur det låter.

Happy Walpurgis Eve to all who celebrate 🔥

this is literally "reality has a liberal bias," holy shit

*extreme David Attenborough voice: "As the Earth tilts once more toward its star, an impulse older than memory itself – written not in any book, but in the very fabric of existence – asks, nay, *commands* the electric scooter to seek companionship and engage in mating rituals old as time itself."

The cost of raising a child in Sweden 🇸🇪 has risen by 73% in ten years, from SEK 1.28M to SEK 2.22M. And that's true even though daycare, healthcare, dental care, and schooling are mostly free-to-families. Economics is not the entire story, but in case you wonder why people hesitate to have kids.

This won't end well 🥲

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

”America man” is to the rest of the world what ”Florida man” is to America 🇺🇸

It’s so transparently affirmative action for conservatives.

Ten years ago, to the day, I was in Lebanon as a visiting scholar at the American University of Beirut (AUB). I am utterly appalled by the senseless devastation in Beirut and across the region, and the continued threats to students and scholars and other civilians.

Vill man vara ännu spetsigare kan man påpeka att det som verkligen skadar yrkeskårens rykte är en jäkla massa misstänkliggörande av kollegors underliggande motivationer när det gäller samhällsengagemang som man inte håller med om.

Siri, what's the Matthew Effect?

Swedish 🇸🇪 PM Kristersson concedes that the US 🇺🇸 and Israel 🇮🇱 are in violation of "traditional international law," suggesting by implicature there's an "alternative" international law that allows their warfare. The concept is every bit as insidious as Kellyanne Conway's notion of "alternative facts."
