Nordiska motståndsrörelsen är väldigt nöjda med Anna Nachman, Ofer Maimon och Dan Korns stöd till Salemmarschen. Den judiska ytterhögern med röster i Bulletin och Fokus öppnar en dörr för deras nationalsocialism och förskjuter overtonfönstret. Och hotar därmed hela judiska communityt i Sverige.

Som jag sa någon annanstans: Ett produktionsteam som har en tydlig vision kan enkelt uppnå en önskad effekt med ett litet team och en eftermiddag. Visst, VFX tar längre tid om man nu prompt måste ha verklighetsbrytande trams, men en VFX-artist med erfarenhet är fortfarande mer effektiv.

Efter 14 år som städare gick Mersudinas kropp sönder. Men när hon ansökte om livränta skyllde Försäkringskassan på soffan. Nu har hon fått rätt med hjälp av fackets jurister.

Because Biden slowed down, is physically feebler and more tired, he must have dementia.

This is also the second catastrophic flood event in this area in the last five years.
Western Washington is currently experiencing record flooding from a series of strong atmospheric rivers. 12 rivers are at major flood stage. 100,000 people await evacuation orders.
Will some places see less severe climate impacts than others? Yes. Does anywhere promise safe haven? Absolutely not.

Climate migration is difficult to study, and even harder to predict, because a complex constellation of factors guides the decision to pick up and move. But some experts say a historic population shift has already begun, and Western Washington should start preparing now to become a “climate haven.”
