I do not think the police have ever raided the Quakers and been on the correct side of history

Bibliotek bygger beredskap i krigs- og fredstid Bibliotekene gir deg en arena å møtes hvor det er trygt å være uenig. Dette er motstandskraft. Den motstandskrafta er forebyggende beredskap.

📚 Libraries are more than shelves. They build reading culture, teach source criticism, and offer spaces where people can disagree safely. That’s democratic resilience — in peace and crisis.

like you printed fabric with the receipts of shit he bought other women and made a dress of it to wear as you sing your diss track about him?

amazing.

100 girls are dead because of generative AI

This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future

Det er lett å redusere _sykefraværet_, det er bare å få flere på uføretrygd eller sosialstønad i stedet.
Du får ikke redusert mengden sykdom på den måten og du øker mengden sosial nød, men sykefraværstallene ser bedre ut

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

yeah the damage a single bad billionaire can do wildly outstrips any positive impact even a theoretically ideal billionaire can have

more, I think that the kind of person you need to be to become a billionaire tends to select for the worst outcomes in all but the rarest of cases

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

Jeg har også brukt kveldsManchego som emosjonell støtte de siste to ukene!

It's Sex Worker Rights day.

Twitch only exists because of the success of its NSFW counterparts.

If we had listened to SWs over a decade ago as they were being silenced and deplatformed, we could have stopped the wave of ID Laws for "adult" spaces now.

Support Sex Workers. Listen to them!!

men love to be like ‘if i saw some guy doing that shit to my girl i’d kill him.’ no you wouldn’t lol. you can’t even politely ask your buddy to stop calling women fat bitches or whatever

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

If living a middle class life is driving you deep into debt, this is because you are not middle class.

This has been a real cognitive come to Jesus for me. Obvs I KNEW we were struggling, but the numbers looked like they SHOULD work. But never did.

I think that is actually the biggest problem with those systems.

It's not losing some random skill that we have made superflous, it's about taking skills that are the foundation for your agency in this world and your ability to understand it.

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

Kontanthjælpsreform:
Nedskæringerne er så motiverende. De fattige (= de syge) kan jo bare tage småjobs og tjene deres egne penge.

Formueskat:
Nej, nu gider vi ikke røre en finger mere i det her kommunistiske lorteland! Vi flytter væk!

Jeg sitter på senga og tar på strømpebukse og sokker, kjolen er klar på senga.
Jeg går i gangen for å ta på deo, blir spurt om jeg vet hvor noe til sambo er. Begynner sidequest for å finne sambos ting uten hell.

Må ta på kjole, nå er den borte. Hadde jeg bodd på gård skulle jeg trodd på fjøsnissen

I USA kjøper de rikeste opp media for å stoppe journalister fra å dekke verden slik den er. Det er en del av en maktkamp.

Enda en gang gjør det "offentlige Norge" de samme ideologiske valgene. Bevisst eller ikke, det er skritt i veldig feil retning.

Våre folkevalgte har et ansvar her. Og det handler om økonomi. Og selv om folkevalgte ikke kan legge seg borti redaksjonelt innhold, burde det likevel komme krav om at penger øremerkes til utenriksdekning. Stortinget definerer samfunnsoppdraget. Kom igjen Ap, SV, Rødt, MDG og SP

NRK legger ned utenriks­redaksjonen: 30 ansatte må søke seg til nye avdelinger Fra påske oppløser NRK utenriksredaksjonen. Ingen av de rundt 30 ansatte vet om de får tilhøre nye utenrikssatsinger, eller om de må jobbe med annet enn utenriksstoff.

En skulle tro det var en vits. Dette er vårt NRK. Når har vi bestemt mindre Urix - mer reality?

Toss in a side of Stanislav Petrov and then add the note that the goal of military AI is to automate him out of existence

speaking as someone old enough to remember, the Cold War was very bad and imminently apocalyptic in ways our life today isn’t, but the psychic damage was different. We didn’t *know* about Able Archer until years later. I’d say this is much more of a constant assault on dignity and sanity.

Datasentre: – Verste sløsingen med kraft i Norgeshistorien Natur og Ungdom vil at staten skal regulere prosjekter som bygger ned norsk natur. På Stortinget behandles nettopp et slik forslag – i forbindelse med datasentre.

Å være mot regulering og konsesjonsordning for datasenter, som AP tydeligvis er, er langt over min fatteevne. Bare Google i Skien vil legge beslag på 5% av landets energiproduksjon, og det skal vi liksom ikke regulere?!

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
