Countries that have waited years to join the EU are divided over plans being drawn up in Brussels to let them become members without the customary full voting rights.
Countries split over plans for two-tier EU

Dette er ikke dagen for en joggetur i byen.
'Joggeren vi møter på Økern i Oslo sier han synes det er en spennende utfordring å løpe.'
Det har vel nok å gjøre på legevakten uten at folk skal utsette seg for fare av idiotiske årsaker. En gang måtte jeg betale taxi for en jogger med brukket arm som ikke hadde mobil.

Det er mye vann i veien mange steder på grunn av regn og mildværet
Regn og mildvær har skapt trøbbel i trafikken flere steder på Østlandet mandag. – La bilen stå, oppfordrer politiet.

the thesis statement of the recent Doctor Who spinoff show The War Between the Land and the Sea (warblussy for short) is that humanity would sooner commit genocide than try to mitigate the causes of climate change

Jeg får helt vondt av Bergstø og SV når det kommer til diskusjoner om forsvarssamarbeid. De vil kutte bånd til NATO og EU, og hevder at nordisk forsvarssamarbeid er veien å gå. Alle andre nordiske land ønsker samarbeid med NATO og EU.
SV ødelegger for seg selv når de snakker som om vi lever i 2013.

Pretty straightforward statement. It isn't any more complicated than this.

Utterly damning report from Office for Environmental Protection - the Govt’s not only missing its targets to protect wildlife in England, it’s also failing on *almost all* environmental measures - and in some cases actively destroying the natural world through its obsession with growth at all costs
Government’s wildlife targets will be missed in England, watchdog says
Seven out of 10 targets have little likelihood of being met by 2030, Office for Environmental Protection says

If you’re feeling hopeless right now, the answer is to get involved in direct action.
It’s hard to think things can get better if you’re primarily waiting for *other* people to take action. But if you’re seeing the benefits of everything you’re doing? There’s hope everywhere.

I was invited onto a podcast today and argued that the Norwegian Greens should stop being deferential to the Labour party here and get serious about replacing them, inspired by what Zack has shown is possible
No interest in working with Keir Starmer. The public know who he is.
We're replacing Labour - and taking on Reform.
No vested interests. Just standing with the 99%. And that's powerful.

Det er Russland og an autoritær alliansen som jobber målrettet med dette. Vi har gjort det altfor lett for dem å lykkes
Det brukes så jævlig mye tid og båndbredde i samfunnet vårt på å snakke om barn og så utrolig lite tid på å snakke om hva slags propagandamaskineri som retter seg mot å radikalisere voksne folk på internett med stemmerett og viktige jobber. Denne "personen" har vært i feeden til folk du kjenner.
