Spiste min første kebab en 17.mai, en tradisjon vi holdt ved like i mange år. Foreslår å koble kebaben til norsk identitet på dette viset for å øke sjansen for støtte i framtida.
Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.
Hilste på Peter Mandelson på en tilstelning en gang, han var vennlig nok, men da jeg presenterte meg som redaktør for Open Democracy rynka han på nesa og rygget litt, tror ikke han kjente til oss, men at han opplevde ordene i seg selv som litt ubehagelige.
Vi stanger i byråkrati, men er mer optimistisk enn innledning i denne saken er.
Håper regjeringen klarer si ja til Ukrainas forespørsel — behovet er stort, og det som trengs utgjør 0,01% av de årlige Nansenmidlene.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
Gode muligheter for at neste års fredspris kan bli Trump-relatert, men neppe helt sånn han ser det for seg.
Tweet exchange in which a photo of Anne Hathaway is posted by @TheRoyalSerf, to which user @VvSchweetz24 replies "@grok...do your thing. @Grok replies: Anne Hathaway isn't Jewish; she was raised Catholic but left the church. She married Adam Shulman (who is Jewish) in 2012 and celebrates Jewish holidays with their kids. SHe's played Jewish roles, like in "Armageddon Time."
pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things
There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.
We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.
What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.
Scotland and Irland has underutilised leverage against Trump — tell him his golf resorts will be gone immediately if he takes Greenland, and he might actually reconsider.
We live in the stupidest of times, might need to embrace that.
More like 20:1 in fact
They published this, I think they are smart to not engage further. www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-...
I mean, that’s how all prizes work? It’s not some special Nobel rule few are aware of. Winning a prize never means you can declare someone else the winner, in any case I’ve ever heard of.
Can’t stop him from getting a photo op where she hands him the medal she’s already dedicated to him though.
Nopes, set by Nobel’s will. And far better to ignore these dumb antics than to take them remotely seriously and give them more importance than they merit.
They can’t, and it’s pointless, as it can’t be transferred or shared, anymore than an Oscar, Pulitzer or Olympic medal.
The winner is free hand the object to someone if they wish, and occasionally they do, we all understand they remain the winner.
Again, no. The medallion is just a thing, the recipient can do what she wants with it. Being a Nobel laureate can’t be transferred. The committee can’t rescind, the announcement makes it final. The committee shouldn’t participate in these childish games, but ignore it all.
I think the vast majority of people will see it as the embarrassingly pathetic display that it will be.
It cannot. She can hand him the physical bit of metal, that doesn’t make him a laureate any more than an Olympic winner giving him a gold medal makes him an Olympic champion.
No, they’re set by the will of a long dead Swede. In any case, the committee shouldn’t give Trump any extra attention or special treatment, but continue to ignore him.
It can’t be transferred, shared or rescinded.
Agenda magasin har publisert et utdrag fra den siste boka mi, der jeg blant annet skriver litt om Asle Toje.
Forbereder meg på framtida, har bestilt grønlandsk flagg.
Jeg er tilhenger av ytringsfrihet, og mener derfor dette skal være lov å si. Men det bør føre til full sosial utfrysning i 2-5 år, av velgere, kolleger, venner og familie.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
Anbefaler i så fall James av Percival Everett, om du ikke har lest. Huck Finn, men fra ståstedet til slaven Jim.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
When Jamal Khashoggi was killed , all the TV networks were chasing me down to have me on to talk about Trump, Mohammed Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia and the murder.
Now that MBS is back in town and being wined and dined by Trump, Musk, Bezos and other tech billionaires?
I have not had one TV invite.
Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.
A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Today, I’m excited to present the first actionable step towards combating AI slop.
The Humans Commons initiative has published a collection of the first-ever licenses designed to designate the result of human work under Human-first licenses, titled AI0.

Atlanta, in the TV category. Don’t know who carries it in the UK, but excellent stuff.
