Follow the money. Could it be that the pre existing bridge, the Ambassador Bridge, is wholly owned and operated by a Trump donor…? 🤔

I see the Trump administration is barring certain EU officials from entering the US, as they have «prevented the spread of American values». I, for one, applaud these officials as American values (as exemplified by this administration) must be stopped from spreading at all costs.
Dette er oss vs. dem, innvandrere som en svær, skummel gruppe som man må forstå og støtte at "vanlige folk" (les da altså folk som ikke er innvandrere) har problemer med og er redde for, og den veien leder ikke noen bra steder.
Skjermdump fra avissak. Tekst: - Ikke et moral-spørsmål En slik debatt har fjernet den politiske debatten fra det livet vanlige folk lever og problemene de opplever i møte med høy innvandring og for dårlig integrering, utdyper Brenna. – Samtalen mellom vanlige folk handler om praktiske problemer som følge av mange innvandrere der man bor, at dårlig norsk gjør at du ikke kan snakke med kollegaen din, problemer med å få folk til å stille opp på dugnad, at man ikke forstår hverandre på foreldremøtet, ramser Brenna opp, og fortsetter:
Et Arbeiderparti som setter opp et skille mellom vanlige folk og innvandrere er så vanvittig ute å kjøre, og jeg blir oppriktig lei meg i tillegg til rasende av den retorikken her.
Welp have not been on socials this week and missed that this blew up.
So I want to add that ditching Spotify is not *sufficient*; musicians, workers, and creatives need to organize to challenge, probably dismantle the whole rotten platform system.
But ditching Spotify is *so easy*. It's a step 1.
If Trump genuinely wanted the Epstein files released, he could order the Justice Department to release them — rather than go through the circus of a discharge petition.
Trump has already tried time and time again to usurp the power of Congress.
What's stopping him now?
Som undervisningsleder ved den statsfinansierte filmutdanningen som refereres til her vil jeg gjøre en ting klinkende klart: jeg støtter mine kolleger ved Kristiania 100% her. Denne foreslåtte innsnevringen fra NFI vil føre til mindre mangfold og fattigere norsk film.

Neida; AP gjøre det ikke alene. Men det er de som legger premissene for norsk kulturpolitikk nå, og har gjort det de siste 4+ årene. Vi har falt langt siden «filmløftet» av ca. 2010 hvor AP sto for det motsatte.
Bare så det ikke er noen tvil: Arbeiderpartiet river grunnmuren under norsk film.

Israel’s underground jail, where Palestinians are held without charge and never see daylight www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...
It’s absolutely terrific.
Why is Donald Trump building a Jeffry Epstein Memorial Ballroom at the White House?
Gotta admit — Trump throws a hissy fit with all the aplomb of a toddler denied the opportunity to play with a coveted, shiny knife. Even the most unreasonable toddler has more impulse controll.
“Trump’s retaliation here is the Canadian equivalent of Trump retaliating against Keir Starmer’s UK government because of a political advert run by the SNP. Once again, national leaders are having to respond to a US president who doesn’t even bother to wait for basic facts before he acts.”
I’m told the Trump admin. has come here. So I think it’s time for the reminder that not only is Trump vicious and petty; he‘s also stupid and inept. Not to mention an international laughing stock.
Good luck, Americans. You need it.
Oh, that’s a good one.
More #ThinkingOutLoud about #ArtsPedagogy, as my research inches it's way forward. There’s a structure emerging in what I’m doing in my attempt to connect the practically oriented nature of film schools with educational theory and philosophy.
Baby steps…

Ok, then. So, the super-rich think it’s a bad idea to have a tax that ensures they contribute a *tiny fraction* of their worth to the public purse, thus ensuring governments can provide services for all. How very surprising. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

More #ThinkingOutLoud about #ArtsPedagogy. I feel like I'm starting to get somewhere and am starting to see the contours of where this can end up. Still lots of work to go, however...

I once attended a talk by Ernesto Laclau. He was pretty difficult to follow. Surely that‘s the kind of thing he means, right?
Right?

I anledning Den Store Evalueringsuka: En god del av de som oppgir innvandringspolitikk som viktigste sak for sin stemmegivning snakker ikke om faktisk innvandringspolitikk, men om noe mye mørkere. Drikk kaffen og lær deg hva «Stem FrP» har vært kode for ganske lenge.
…I could go on, but I’ve already spent 5 minutes on this, and that’s more time than JD and the MAGAs warrent…
Leftists seem to think it’s our responsibility to preserve the environment for future generations.
Leftists think wealth should be more equally distributed throughout society.
Unnatural freaks.
