A subtle Swedish commentary on ammunisjonsdumpingene i innsjøen? 🤔

You absolutely love to see it

🇸🇪 takes 🥇 and 🥈 in the 10k and all NRK wants to talk about is whether Klæbo gave tips to Karlsson 🙄🙄🙄

Do you know the muffle man?

Snow is nature's urban planner: It can show us what parts of the roadway drivers don't use — and what can be reclaimed for pedestrians. Post your photos and videos of all the #sneckdowns you see and tag us and @mayor.nyc.gov so today's winter wonderland can inspire better streets year-round!

Legacy media is completely broken. This is the same “two narratives” line as the BBC

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

Why would someone who wanted to “massacre” law enforcement show up with…a handgun?

Who expects this, @the-independent.com? Only the most credulous morons alive.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Try to imagine the incandescent rage of the family of a Danish servicemember who was killed fighting America’s war in Afghanistan.

Make Crime Illegal Again

it is true that some Americans waved the flag as they committed unspeakable acts of evil but other Americans waved that same flag marching into battle against their own former slaveowners you get to decide who has the legitimate claim

i am begging people to understand that "America is ontologically white supremacist" is also the neo-Nazi point of view stop endorsing their world view

The constitution says that the stonks of the Nine Wizards must go up

A moment perfectly encapsulated by @paulnoth.bsky.social:

This is how NATO ends, with a draft dodger complaining that America isn’t appreciated enough

I have to say, I’m not convinced of the productiveness of the Americans who didn’t want any of this and the Europeans who didn’t want any of this yelling at the other lot that it’s all their fault on the website for people who didn’t want any of this

I’m sure the New York Times and the rest of the US media will find a way to turn this into something that looks normal. That’s what they think they are paid to do.

This is another indication Newsom should not be the Democratic nominee. Insulting global leaders for failing to stand up to Trump is really counterproductive. It’s our mess, we need to fix it.

Again: there is zero constitutional authority to impose tariffs based on “that head of state doesn’t want to play with me”

“Will Republicans (voters and elected officials) do the right thing?” has been the question for ten years. Unfortunately we have a good idea of the answer 🙃

Apart from the rest of the insanity here, admitting he only stopped those eight wars (which he didn’t stop) to win a Nobel Prize—not because war is terrible!—is truly deranged behavior.

Interwar British defence spending/what rearmament actually looks like. (Table from Peden’s Arms, Economics & British Strategy).

Just a reminder that no matter what John Roberts and the other Republican Wizards say, he has no constitutional authority to do this.

Wrong answer, try this:

Fully funded Ph.D. position in economics open - please apply and/or inform your promising students! Application deadline 28 February. www.oslomet.no/en/work/job-... This is an open-topic fellowship, with research proposals aligned with the economics group's research interests being given priority.

For the Times, the point of the story was they got an interview, which gave them juice for a day. Nothing he said mattered more than the interview itself, so there's no need to keep talking about it.

Thanks to John Roberts for deciding President Crimes should be immune from prosecution for this.

You don’t actually have to quote his lunatic words in the headline

Guys this is deranged. The Consultant Democrats are hopeless, utterly incapable of meeting the moment

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

It is amazing how easy it is for Trump to get the media to report a completely insane idea that would destroy NATO (and much else besides) entirely from his point of view, based on his supposed “wants” and bogus claims about “National Security.”

Wow cancel culture #econhist

Sorry, but triumphant claims about autonomous vehicle safety are wildly exaggerated. It's an open question whether today’s self-driving cars are any safer than those driven by humans. And if reducing crashes is the goal, that isn’t even the right question. My deep dive, in Bloomberg 🧵

These kinds of stories make me wonder if US working hours are undercounted (even in time use surveys) and productivity per worker-hour is exaggerated

I have seen the future of transit and it is this A train information display 😍 🙌

More support for the “lots of people in US media find covering Trump more fun” theory of bias

Trump's threat to bomb Iran made something clear to me in a way I hadn't yet formulated: His conception of US military force, like his conception of the federal govt, is now entirely personalized. It is a power to be wielded not on behalf of US interests but on behalf of his personal whims.

Will be interesting to see if US (and other) media play along with the story that violently removing a head of state is a “strike” and not an act of war. (Most will.)
