the leader of the Green party of Norway, said the Nobel committee’s independence is what gives the prize its credibility.

“Peace prizes are earned through sustained commitment, not through social media tantrums and not from intimidation,”

Norway braces for Trump’s reaction if he does not win Nobel peace prize

US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or even declare Norway an enemy, analyst says

If her fetus is "in her placenta," that woman is in a ton of pain and the pregnancy's a nonstarter anyway. Good lord, don't take medical advice from this man.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Dette er en direkte konsekvens av Charlie Kirk's nettside der han ba folk angi "venstreradikale" akademikere med fullt navn og arbeidsplass. Eller "arbeid for åpen og gjensidig respektfull dialog", som norske kommentatorer kaller det.

Det er utrolig hva man kan spore av slekt via søk i avisene - konfirmantene ble jo listet opp. Og de artiklene i norsk folke-kalender er kjempefine tidsvinduer. Bilder!

Fagforening ber NRK kutte Microsoft, Google og Amazon. 🙅‍♂️

– Vi forventer at NRK tar ansvar og viser tydelig etisk integritet, sier Henrik Seip.

– Vi benytter i dag skytjenester fra flere leverandører, blant dem Microsoft og Google, bekrefter NRK, men vil ennå ikke si hva de vil gjøre framover.

Ber NRK kutte Microsoft, Google, Amazon

NTL NRK ber lederne følge egne etiske regler. – Det er veldig mange grunner til at NRKs valg av leverandører er viktig, mener Henrik Seip.

Hva i svarteste helvete er det Aschehoug holder på med?

Svaret fra forlaget inneholder ordet "diskurs", som er omtrent som når en næringslivsperson sier "synergi" og jeg ville som kommunikasjonsrådgiver plukket ut de respektive ordene, ville jeg.

My mom posted this picture of a scale from her primary care clinic, which I absolutely love, being an astrophysicist. But also the messaging is great!

Photo of a scale in a doctor's office and on the wall above it is a sign that reads "PLEASE REMEMBER: This scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationshp with gravity. That is it. It cannot measure (each word in a different colour): beauty, talent, purpose, possibility, strength, love or character."

Dette er vanvittig. Betyr liksom et "sunt utleiemarked" at man skal kunne låne *alle* pengene til å kjøpe leiligheter, la leietagerne betale *alle* renter og kostnader, og likevel få overskudd? Da kunne like gjerne spørsmålet i artikkelen vært "Hvorfor kan ikke andre betale for at jeg skal bli rik?"

Mathias Kilsti Hals @kilstihals.bsky.social · 4d

MEN DA LEGGER DU TIL GRUNN AT:
1. UTLEIER NETTOPP HAR KJØPT LEILIGHETEN
2. VEDKOMMENDE IKKE HAR HATT BETYDELIG MENGDE EGENKAPITAL NÅR HEN KJØPTE

OG I TILLEGG SER DU BORT FRA AT DEN FORBANNA LEILIGHETEN STIGER MED MANGE TITUSEN/HUNDRETUSEN I VERDI I ÅRET

Man kan ikke regne på utleielønnsomhet sånn!

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

"AI" generated image of woman with dark hair sitting in a chair in front of posters with random shapes and symbols meant to look like images and text on movie posters, all superimposed with a post from k.w.bogen reading
"AI actresses can't negotiate. They can't say they'd prefer their bodies not be shown certgain ways. They can't refuse degrading scenes. They can't express distress about disturbing content. They can't ask the creators :why would you do that to me? Why put any woman through watching that? If AI film winds up being the path, we're about to see an entirely new generation (and more brutal depiction) of media misogyny."
