Finland uses “Russia-gauge” rails. They are going to move to European compatible rail gauge for their own resilience.

At schools, young people share a lot with their classmates: many lessons, joyous and sad moments.

They stand up and say, “No! You can't take any of us away!”

Do adults hear their voices?

Er det noen i sykkelskya som kan hjelpe meg. Jeg skal lage vindusdekor til Whee! og trenger 4 så store sykkelhjul som mulig. Lette er bra. Defekte er topp. Er det noen MTB-folk der ute som har noe liggende?

Millioner har sett videoene som skal bevise at Ukraina tvinger unge menn i krigen. Men hjelmen er feil, alderen stemmer ikke, og ansiktene tilhører russiske dataspillere.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.
NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors.

I'm seeing claims that progress was made at #COP30, but it really wasn't. Each passing year with no fossil fuel phaseout comes at great opportunity cost as we further burn through the vanishing carbon budget that remains for averting dangerous warming. See my commentary: michaelmann.net/bad-cop/

Dette er et av de viktigste argumentene for formuesskatt
Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Jeg har brukt MYE tid og energi på å kjefte på NRK. Som gammel bladfyk vet jeg inderlig godt hvordan journalister og redaksjoner får blindsoner og slagsider.

Men jeg vil gjerne si at jeg har mer tillit til NRK enn alle norske "alternative medier" til sammen. For de prøver ikke en gang.

Høyre & Co privatiserte Sørlandsbanen m.fl. og lovet forbedring.

På tide at journalister og folk flest stiller dem til veggs for dette!

Er dritt lei ideologer som får skalte og valte med fellesskapets verdier, og så slippe unna når ting går i dass.

Free Speech? Nope.

Cancel Culture? Yup.

If GOP accuse someone of something, it is an admittance of guilt of their own. If they fight for something, it is for themselves, not everyone else.
This is easily an order of magnitude larger than the number of firings in the entire years-long 'cancel culture' panic.
