vi hade en omröstning, vars upptakt blev sådär helsjuk ett litet tag. sen sa Ulf typ ”det räcker” och så blev det… tystare?

vi har Wold på SR, rötägg här och där, allt mer pisslånga köer i transvården, gott om både Starmer- och Trump-vibbar överallt i politiken, men… inte samma totalpsykos?

The Republican Party does not think children should be allowed to reject sex
funny new euphemism just dropped bsky.app/profile/sbag...

Just a few hours before @abeba.bsky.social was supposed to give the keynote speech at the UN’s AI for Good Summit, three large men in black suits flipped through her slide deck, cutting out any mention of Palestine, Israel, or even the word genocide.

I am pretty sure that getting conversion therapy quickly was not the solution to the waitlist problem that the coroner at Alice’s inquest had in mind.

It's a real pity that 2001: A Space Odyssey chickened out on Discovery having scientifically correct radiator fins. I really think that was the hinge point of history that led to this post-science world we live in.
