@nytimes.com why did you end the support for NYT Audio app? It was so much better than the audio part of The NYTimes app. Like snippets and I had many downloaded episodes I wanted to hear for later. Now all gone!

Bad decisions!

«Paramount said on Monday that it was buying The Free Press» it doesn’t sound good!

Luckily «The Free Press» refers to a company and not the free press in general. Sometimes I do wonder if it was the case for the Status in the US.

Why does Trump want the military in different towns? Because he is afraid that the people will go against him and protest against this presidency unionizing people on both the left and right in huge numbers.

This videos shows how fast it can change. @sanders.senate.gov

Trump is saying there are enemies of the state from within. Well, that enemy is your own president, yourself. You won’t need to send the military’s any city. They can stay in DC and protect the US from its president. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/u...

Jeg har TV-kanaler via Telia, deriblant TV2 Sport 1 og 2, Viasport 1, 2, 3 og Viasport+. Likevel så er det umulig å få sett på Tottenham-Bodø på TV, med mindre jeg abonnerer på TV 2 Play abonnement for 399 med reklame for en pakke hvor jeg har det meste via Telia. Hva er dette for noe tull!!

«You can’t have Scandinavian public services with an American tax rate»
«It’s a very good line»

Indeed — and I fully agree! But it’s not just the tax rate matters, but how you organize it as well.

As he departed the White House, President Trump was asked who "the next person on your list in this retribution" will be now that former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted.

"It’s not a list," Trump said, "but I think there'll be others."

Let's get this straight: MGX – a shady Abu Dhabi firm – cut deals to get sensitive American technology while enriching the Trump family’s crypto firm.

Now, Trump wants that same firm and his billionaire friends to control what you watch on TikTok?

FrP og Wara ønsker ikke at offentlige ansatte skal bruke sin ytringsfrihet når de sier i fra om feilaktige påstander fra FrP. Høres veldig ut som Trump.

Allerede finnes det minst 20 TWh varme fra industrien som ikke utnyttes, ifølge Sintef. Nå kommer datasentrene i tillegg.

Vi i Norge må begynne å stille strengere krav til utnyttelse av dette generelt, men spesielt for datasentrene som nå kommer.

Datasentrene strømmer til, men Norge stiller ikke krav

Så lenge kommunene får plassere datasentre langt til skogs, fortsetter de å fyre for kråkene.
