The funniest thing about the public debt of Finland that has reached quite an alarming level is that Norway could just pay it off and earn it back in a year or so.

I think it’s time for us to proceed with the plan to invade Norway, immediately surrender and become a Norwegian province

The entire right wing screamed bloody murder about "fiscal irresponsibility" 24/7 during the 3-crisis reign of the previous center-left goverment, and literally promised to end indebtedness if elected.

*This year alone,* they have to borrow 42.5% of the four-year *total* of the previous gov's.

In every single case where someone has said to me "what do you mean Ocean Ramsey isn't a science educator? She's the one who taught me ____," the thing that they've supposedly learned from her is obviously and unequivocally factually incorrect. Every single time.

Netflix has a new (sarcastic air quotes) “documentary” out about Ocean Ramsey, who longtime readers and followers know is a serial wildlife harasser who also coordinates massive online …

For every 1°C that we heat the atmosphere can hold approximately 7% more water.

Extreme precipitation willl become more frequent putting people living near seasonal rivers at great risk.

We need robust early warning systems for people living near rivers!

og så impliserer man selvsagt at skylda for dødsfallet til den stakkars 18-åringen på sin første sykkeltur var hans egen skyld

dette må ta slutt. vi må begynne å snakke om systemet som lar dette skje. om utdaterte og farlige veier og kryss. om blinde sjåfører og dårlig anleggsvarsling/utforming

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices. Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'. • I chose the latter. It broke my heart. I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make. I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer. I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence. One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career. I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost". James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice. Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences. I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness. Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire. I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal. I am so sorry to let you down. I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I have to accept that I am not what the current BBC expects of their freelance presenters. Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not "just a job" I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world. From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too. The strawberry is dead. Long live the strawberry. B

Jeg er forbanna over Riksens ulovlige forskning på oss transfolk, og enda mer forbanna over at Helsetilsynet gir fullstendig faen, i å reagere på noen som helst måte.

Og rasende over at Riksen i praksis driver konverteringsterapi, og at helseministeren er fornøyd med tingenes tilstand.

Med Giske og Olsø tilbake i varmen, og en nestleder som etteraper FrP-retorikk om uføre og innvandrere, så er det litt vanskelig å anse AP som et sosialdemokratisk prosjekt lenger.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Jeg synes det er skremmende at en figur som Rune Olsø er tilbake og trekker i trådene i Trondheim Ap.

Ekstra skremmende at han har en hang til populistisk retorikk pakket inn i KI-slaps.

Rune Olsø har misbrukt tilliten før, ved å påvirke gode venner i politikken til å vedta politikk som _direkte_ ga ham penger. Hvorfor får han komme tilbake? Hvorfor er Arbeiderpartiet det partiet hvor både Trond Giske og Rune Olsø får fritt spillerom i?

Ap har utspilt sin rolle, politisk og etisk.
