Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Farfar holdt en jødisk kvinne unna tyskerne ved å ha henne innlagt på Tønsberg sykehus i tre år under en fiktiv diagnose. Han overbeviste dem om at hun ville dø uten kontinuerlig medisinsk tilsyn, og de lot henne bli.
Bare nevner det.

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

Er det slik at de er "anholdt I Israel", eller er det igjen noen som har blitt kidnappet av Israel i internasjonalt farvann?

ja, det er oppsiktsvekkande! Kvar er analysane, kommentatorane, politikarane? "Enemy-within"-talen er jo eit enormt skummelt veiskille. Det begynner å bli ein dårlig vits at Nato skal forsvare "common values of individual liberty, democracy, human rights and the rule of law."

"Han går i rette med offisersstanden som profesjon, fra en posisjon blottet for troverdighet, men spekket med nyvunnen makt. Uten Trumps kontroversielle utnevnelse til forsvarsminister ville Hegseth fortsatt fjollet på frokost-TV."

Det er vanskelig å overdrive alvoret. @forsvaretsforum.bsky.social

USAs udemokratiske militarisme

Demokrati uten sivil kontroll over militæret er utenkelig. Dersom det militære lederskapet overstyrer de folket har valgt, så erstatter militært styre folkestyret.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it
