Schweiz lägger 560 miljoner på en ny nattågslinje för att flytta resande från flyg till tåg. Pengarna tas från intäkterna från en flygskatt. Sverige avskaffar istället flygskatten, skrotar planerade tågsatsningar och gör fossila bränslen billigare

I've written a one page patch for the new D&D Players Manual where I solve the problem of people's campaigns grinding to a halt because they can't schedule a game.
PDF is the link. Print it out. Stick it in your manuals. May work for other games too. #ttrpg #dnd

I was interviewed by @msjpauly.bsky.social for @motherjones.com regarding that awful gamete size "sex" executive order. A bit of an explainer here of why the science is so bad, and why that's dangerous:
Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications
"How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology, and then legislate about it?"

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.
