Petter Larsson: Det som utlöste flyktingkrisen var inbördeskriget i Syrien. Det som stoppade den var varken idiotierna om miniminivåer, slopade permanenta uppehållstillstånd eller inskränkt familjeförening.

Nedskärningarna i bibliotek och folkbildning görs med två syften: för att omstrukturera hur offentliga medel används i samhällsekonomin, och för att angripa demokratiska infrastrukturer. En ekonomisk och politisk analys av rapporten "Vid vägs ände?" 👇

They have discovered sampling!

I reckon a shared national popular culture is just as important (if not more important) than a fact based, impartial news service for liberal democracy to work.

Grejen är att förskolepersonalen är så fruktansvärt viktig, minns så väl hur min primära tanke under min sons förskoletid var ”ge dem allt de pekar på, jag kan vara deras tjänstefolk om det behövs”. Problemet med texten ovan är att den underskattar förskolans, och förskolepersonalens, betydelse.

Looks like the BBC has lost the Kremlin 👀

Yes another:Humans are dogs not cats. People will hire the same people other people hire because they are pack animals. Talent and skills are irrelevant

That’s exactly why she should just abolish employees NI and roll it into Income Tax, and “abolish” Employers NI and just rename it Payroll Tax or some such. People need to realise that, yes, state pensions are just another benefit - not something you’ve “paid into”

Pete Hegseth has declared this an act of war and has attacked at least a full bottle of Beefeater in response.

Well thank god. Not that it will prevent the US from murdering fishermen, it's not difficult, but at least the UK won't be complicit in murder

“The conservative leader said it was Germany's last chance to counteract the surging far-right” - yes buddy, I wonder who helped them surge in the first place

How about Option 3?

The key to avoiding airport hazzle is of course not to fly. I did not fly in 2023 Flew once in 2024 This year I will again not fly (visited four countries though, the way the Lord intended by rail)

Once in Madrid Barajas I was going to have a quick beer and some tapas at that Cañas y Tapas place but it was really crowded so I couldn't get a seat so I had to eat at McDonalds. Read my 40 000 word post about how this proves Spain is a failed state.

It's the response to being told he screwed up that really marks the idiot Making a mistake connecting in a foreign airport-fine and normal Ranting about it online-slightly pathetic but relatable Simply doubling down when being told he screwed up-Just sad

Jag förstår verkligen inte längre varför ingen i något beslutande lager någonsin lär sig någonting av verkligheten.

Jag har nu jobbat med IT och digitalisering på heltid i totalt 27 år. Mer än ett halvt arbetsliv.

I just want to reiterate, if you are using the front page of national newspapers to say how the media are biased against you, the standing assumption is that you are acting in bad faith. Remarkably, being silent is a key component of being silenced.

They should do a Bond remake where they focus on the license to kill part and he is a member of ICE and goes around arresting cleaners and daycare staff and ships them off to a concentration camp in El Salvador where they die of mistreatment.

In fact, I suspect that this phenomenon is so general that I propose a general law: If person A suggests replacing people doing B with an AI chatbot, person A is almost certainly a stronger candidate for replacement with an AI chatbot than people doing B.

Fine, I will write the next James Bond. INT: SEX CASINO, NIGHT BOND: Hello I am Bond James Bond my car goes NYOOM CUT TO: ten minutes of a chase in a sports car BOND: Also my watch is a special watch that makes ladies blouses see through EXPLOSION BOND: This film is for grown ups

AfD has gone a long way from opposing eurozone bailouts and advocating abolishing the euro.

Wait. James Bond isn't still a thing is he? They reviving Falcon Crest as well?

About this Tesla/Musk pay package. Obviously Tesla does not have one trillion dollars to pay Musk so that can't be it. I assume it's some deal like "if shares reach X value he gets X shares" or something?

Anyway, it’s good to remember this when people tell you Musk had a grand plan for Twitter the whole time. Like, it’s possible some of his cohorts/enablers did; however, Musk basically bought Twitter because he went on a bender after getting dumped and made some bad decisions.

So October 2024 BBC airs a program about BBC. Then "A leaked internal BBC memo said the show had misled viewers" "Leaked" This is all so weird www.bbc.com/news/article...

The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*. The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.

Wiki "the yookay (UK politics, derogatory) The United Kingdom, as having been impacted by perceived failures in multicultural policy."

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

I mars 1939 hölls ett kårmöte i Lund, där en majoritet av de närvarande studenterna stödde en resolution om att 10 judiska läkare inte skulle tillåtas att invandra till och bosätta sig i Sverige. Idag sitter läkarstudenter i Lund och skämtar rasistiskt om en torterad kvinna med utländsk bakgrund.

Läkarstudenter skulle kommentera ett fiktivt fall med en utlandsfödd kvinna som hade utsatts för tortyr. Bland svaren de gav skrevs tex "köp en biljett hem" och uppmuntran att samarbeta med ”Återvandringsverket”. www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/rasi...

There is a narrative that nothing is being done about climate change but if this here graph from OWID indicates to me something is definitely being done. Just not enough

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Liberalerna har möjligen bättre chans att klara riksdagsspärren om deras ledning sitter i fängelse men det är inte ett bra argument för varken det ena eller andra i ett demokratiskt samhälle. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/Oo...

I am sick. Severe cold, mild flu, mild Covid? I have no idea. Light fever which favors flu/Covid hypothesis. Some but v mild stomach issues favor Covid hypothesis I guess. In the end it does not matter. Drink a lot of water and rest is the advice.

It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.
