Humans are excellent at anthropomorphising _anything_ for companionship.
We collectively understand why Tom Hanks' character in Castaway makes a 'friend' out of a basketball and becomes attached to it. We also understand that this doesn't mean the basketball is sentient.

Meet Harmeria scutulata!
We don't see this species often (or at all) these days. Registered (Norwegian) specimens are pretty much 50-100 years old, and we actually have no recent record of this species here in Norway as far as I know.

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it
hey don't be so hard on yourselves; it delivered oceans of sensitive government and citizen data to billionaires

Når mediekritikk blir autoritær strategi
Når aktører bevisst og strategisk sprer mistillit til etablerte medier blir angrepene giftige og farlige.

Leading anti-trans writer Kathleen Stock (whom Rowling is “proud” to call her friend), now comes out with this gem on abortion. Who could have foreseen that TERFs would attack bodily autonomy? All of us did. All of us.
Transphobia rots your brain.
Transphobia rots your brain.
Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

Mens Abid Raja frir til LO på #dax18 vil Oslo-byrådet, med Venstres finansbyråd Bjercke i spissen, flytte Oslo kommune over til KS-tariff.
Det betyr store kutt i lønna for ansatte i pleie- og omsorgssektoren, på tross av at V i 2023 garanterte at alle ansatte skulle beholde lønns- og pensjonsvilkår.
