Done weird torchlight ski ritual w daughters

They are included in the story, they just don’t get headline billing. I blame Bede.

The Jutes are forgotten as usual cc @kentindell.bsky.social

V och MP måste fälla en S regering med nuvarande politik. Om S vill ha SD politik får dom gå till val på att dom är ett högerparti. Och folk måste inse att en röst på S är en röst på M/SD

This also related to the extreme immigrant/immigrant parent background bias in some university degrees. Dentstry for instance. I can think of two reasons 1 Parents dreaming of returning. A foreign law degree is worthless but teeth are teeth 2 You can get a job without having contacts

Great column, and reminds me of @groditi.bsky.social ancestral take that occupations should not be thought as low/high skill but low/high barriers to entry. For one, because you don't get prisoner of the idea you can assess 'value'. A small nitpick though >>

It’s been a major problem with general policy making. Based on flawed human capital metrics.

"Tekniken är etiskt neutral" - hur kan man, i denna tid, svara så här okunnigt? Den svenska regeringen är en säkerhetsrisk för sig själv. www.etc.se/inrikes/haer...

Problem about the loneliness epidemic is, it's everywhere except in representative survey data. Let's look at where the claim comes from. 1/

This is actually a good point. People change their minds about stuff in social media debates *all* the time.

Good point by @sarahoconnorft.ft.com "low skilled" is a stupid label. Since skill isnt measurably (except in sport) it always always just means low wage. Say that instead. www.ft.com/content/0409...

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

this is very bad but I’m curious what effect it’s going to have in practice - if American car manufacturers move back towards extremely emissions-heavy cars they are basically surrendering the global market and are extremely vulnerable to domestic politics shifting back it’s bad business

The lie machine is obviously a huge problem, but so is the idea that when a FIRE ALARM goes off in your office you start a thread about it on Slack (whether you think you're talking to humans or AI) rather than GETTING OUT.

Isnt Daniel Hannan the guy who made social media posts going "Ahh! Back from a nice walk in the beautiful english countryside" accompanied by a picture from Switzerland or similar that he had cut pasted from the internet?

Yes it’s a complete mystery 🤣🫣

Is it because he didnt try? He basically went to god damn *Munich*, put an ancient Hindu synbol on his arm and shouted "Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Führer!". The man shot himself 81 years ago this is no longer who rules Europe www.ft.com/content/5c6d...

This is (I think) whats behind the apparent complacency among European leaders. They are winning. Russia is losing. A lot of Ukrainians are dying but so be it.* *Not my opinions its what I think they may be thinking

That it took so long for so many to publicly acknowledge Karp and Thiel's descent into madness is telling in itself

Ok. Hear me out. Donald Trump has obviously suffered from dementia for a while. There is no cure. Half a year ago he still made splashes with inane social media posts almost every day but now? Nothing

Rare picture of the daughters

This is *obviously* the way to deal with all AI training/mandatory reporting. Either AI can do it and then it should be perfectly fine or it cant and then the training is pointless. KPMG has by forcing the partner to redo it admitted its pointless and no good

Jag har skrivit en text om Peter Flemings mycket läsvärda bok ”Dark Academia - how universities dies”. En bok som skrevs före det senaste årets katastrofer, och istället använder pandemin som exempel då det moderna universitetets svagheter blottlades. svenskfilosofi.se/2026/02/15/h...

It also takes a conplicit society. Every billionaire is a policy failure.

Dumb and evil are not mutually exclusive and Elon is not a genius, or even an above average thinker. I have dealt with enough of these people directly to see their stupidity in action, not just reading about it on this website.

Om man ska dubbelkolla alla svar så gör man ju ändå jobbet och 0 % vinst. Dessutom omöjligt pga att ai fuckat upp Sök å internet. Samma skitsnack som i skolans värld ("de måste kolla svaren"), men det är klart ingen gör det, vi kan väl sluta låtsas och acceptera att vi nöjer oss mediokra felsvar.

Bra! Det måste framgå *innan* valet att en röst på S är en röst på M politik

Jag har alltid varit en trogen socialdemokrat men nu är det nog. Det blir ett val på vänsterpartiet i höst. Jag tänker fan inte rösta på ett parti som dels stramar åt regelverket för flyktingar och utbildar ungdomar och sen slänger ut dem från sverige. Så jäkla dumt att klockorna stannar.

Att vara medlem i S är en rasistisk handling

The Baltic has now frozen from Stockholm to Åbo (Turku) in Finland in what @aisling7468.bsky.social calls spring

Vacation step one done. Train to Järvsö then walked up the mountain with daughters and luggage to cabin then walk down to village to buy food and up again. Am now having a well deserved beer while daughters are playing Roblox in the cabin.

We are way past disagreement at this point.

Money, Viktor. It’s a direct source of money.

Ett av problemen med demokrati är att man bara kan rösta på människor som vill ha makt. Jag vill generellt inte att människor som vill ha makt ska ha makt.

I think a good cautionary principle is to assume all screenshots are fake.

Thought I’d just pass on some relationship advice my grandma once gave to me: if you’re unhappy with your partner or spouse why don’t you replace their head in every photograph in your house with a picture of your celebrity crush? x

Another weird article about far right young men. Its fake. Its 55y old men that are far right Sweden Democrat latest Väljarbarometer Men/women Total 27%/14% 18-29 25%/8% 30-49 29%/13% 50-64 31%/18% 65+ 22%/15% Although gender split is bigger among younger voters

Also the Christianity stuff is very weird. Does the man not know where that religion originated

Den här inbillningen att ”fusk med a-kassan” är en massa ligor som sitter i en annan världsdel och *inkasserar skattepengar* snarare än uppsagda arbetare som blivit bjudna på en charter av morsan efter åtta månader på existensminimum.

Ok. Going to read it and live post paragraph by paragraph. No idea how long this will be

Personally I'll be waiting until tomorrow for twice as many marshmallows
