The Swedish government finally proposes something which makes sense w higher oil prices; a six month halving of public transport prices. This at least has the potential of driving down oil use which should be the goal of any response www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/uppg...

Banning indoors smoking is one of my all time favourite examples of societal change. Afterwards, even the majority of smokers agreed the downsides were minor & it should've been done earlier. But before, it was opposed *fiercely* for years. Many thought it was Utopian, and/or totalitarian policy.

I feel like the photographer could have gotten a little closer tbh

I thought maybe this was fake, but no, its what came up for me too

"Fuktskada på Systembolaget – håller stängt" "Anna tar stängningen med ro. Jag får ta mig till Dragarbrunnsgatan istället" www.unt.se/nyheter/upps...

"It could be worse" is my motto

The really unsexy truth about climate change is that we're doing Pretty GoodAll Things Considered and dooming about it is just sorta the Midwit Position now 4C was where we were heading prior to Paris. Worst case scenario on current policies is 2.7C. An unfathomable amount of harm has been averted

Not entirely clear if they are refering to new trains or upgraded X2000. Whatever. 250km/h would be very welcome. Currently 4.5h for 610km Stockholm-Malmö. Obviously some time is lost for stops but if they could average 200km/h thatd be 3h.

Its what you get for living so close to the equator.

Kommer ni ihåg den där gemensamma myndighetsrapporten om hur välfärdssektorn åderlåts av kriminella som kom häromveckan? Klart ni inte gör. Inte en enda politiker uppmärksammade den. Varför? Kanske för att hårdare reglera för att stoppa välfärdstjuvar hade stoppat även deras polare

I see someone didnt play World in Flames when they were 12

Why is he persisting with this odd "I would have got away with it if it hadn't been discovered" argument? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The only people dumber that Scottt Kippler are: 1 The people who wrote this story 2 The people who give him their savings Obviously more secure versions of babysitter apps have been around for what 20 years? Website versions 39 years?

Local football team is leading the league. People w scarves everywhere. I will see how much Swedish football is a money game by checking the towns of all the teams

This is the entire point of references. There should only be two questions: 1 Did X indeed work at Y 2 Did X at any point in their employment kill someone

Här slits man mellan två tankar: 1. Sveriges Radio är verkligen o-er-hört nervösa om de måste skriva ut pappans partitillhörighet! 2. Ujujuj, vilken stor bebis! www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/reko...

Nu har Jimmie Åkesson varit partiledare för SD i 21 år. Han är 47 år gammal. I stort sett hela hans vuxna liv.

Why not just do it? Who is going to say "We voted to exist the European Internal Energy Market"? I mean who did that? No one thats who "The longer-term solutions were a form of co-ordinated capacity mechanism with a longer-term view to re-enter the European Internal Energy Market"

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

Roughly one month after deleting (hiding phone wont let me delete) google maps. It was really very easy. Onwards one app at a time

This street is impossible to find cause it is constantly moving to the right.

Can confirm! Sometimes the entire window is gone even!

Jag förstår inte riktigt den här omläggningen, för min känsla är att den inte direkt har stöd hos gräsrötterna, facken och lokalpolitikerna? Vad är S, om inte den samlade viljan av arbetarrörelsen? Känns som att identitetskrisen de borde reflektera över är den.

This is 100% true. Everybody was excited about the internet. We were all fucking delighted that we had an easy way to contact our friends who moved out of town and also a massive new source of fanfic

London is an odd place to pick to be scared of. Too many people have been to London. They should pick, idk, Sunderland. No non British people have been there so you can make up anything you want.

My T-shirt saying “the Russians hacked me and released information about my previously secret £5m gift“ has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

What on earth does she think the point of citing a source *is*

Not just the US, I had a woman in Mombasa express genuine fear for my wellbeing upon finding out I live here.

This looks interesting by I have lost the capability of reading such a long text unless its a paper book

"sir, we have a problem. It's the dickheads" "Oh god, what now?" "Sir, I don't quite know how to say this but... They're *organising*" "... May God have mercy on our souls"

Weird how he doesn’t see his own job being automated away despite it being the easiest one to replace with an LLM.

This remains a very funny hill to die on for me Like yes, you should confirm your citation says the thing you’re citing it for! It’s bad if your whole field is fucking up a common citation! I get yelled at by a judge and potentially sanctioned if I do this

Stycke för stycke. Börjar med historieförfalskningen som är artikelns inledning. 1. Det har ALDRIG varit en stridsfråga, utom för SD. 2. Vi är INTE ÖVERENS. Vi VAR överens innan NI bytte fot. 3. Det har varit ETT tvärt kast, ert 2016. 4. Högt tonläge mot fascister är arbetarrörelsens paradgren.

Former prosecutor calls for EU statute blocking US sanctions on ICC members

Does this matter for anything? Honest q I absolutely have no idea.

Amazingly im better at African than US geography. In Africa there are at least proper countries and mainly on the coast where countries should be. The US is like "tap as close as you can to Glockville, Carkansa"
