Jeg veit ikke hva som er sjukest: At en mann setter seg ned og skriver dette herre her fordi han leste et intervju med en vilt fremmed kvinne som sa at hun var lei av at folk drev og dømte og presset henne fordi hun var 38 år gammel og singel+barnløs – eller at TV2 velger å sette det på trykk.🙄

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

By my count there will only be one (1) trans character on all of the major networks and streaming services as of January 2026.
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...

⚠️ When “technology will save us” becomes a climate risk!
A new paper from great colleagues takes a careful look at techno-optimism — the belief that technology will largely solve climate change — and what it means for real-world climate action.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Jeg kunne holdt på mye lengre, men velger å tro at dette tilstrekkelig illustrerer poenget om at når Solvang forsikrer om at 'her på #nrkdebatt får du aldri høre ren hatprat eller rasisme', så burde d IKKE bety at de gjerne inviterer rasister men passer på at ingen seere forstår at de er rasister.

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?
I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

It’s the universities encouraging students to use AI that really gets me. All this “we need to accept it’s here and teach them to use it” does not help students learn to think. Writing is for thinking and communicating, not just producing words.
I spent a lot of time this semester explaining why it produces bad work but at the end of the day, they're being asked to do a thing they find difficult, and this makes it easy for them, without any meaningful consequence. And the university encourages them to use it.

Need an analog to the “police passive” for this kind of description of sexually abusive men “being Me Tooed”—as if they were merely caught in a storm, their own actions and behavior irrelevant to their outcomes. Call it the predator passive.
When you write the whole piece around the idea of “MeToo” as an adequate description of what caused specific men to lose specific positions, and when you do this incredibly weird cutesy business to avoid *mentioning what happened*, you do a disservice to readers.
