Litt festleg historisk symmetri viss Høgre måtte gå i 1986 fordi dei ville auka bensinavgifta, og Ap må gå i 2025 fordi dei vil senka bensinavgifta.

Ap har tilbudt null (eller mindre), så spørsmålet er bare om MDG skal si ja eller nei til å grønnvaske et grått budsjett. Jeg stemte MDG for å få representasjon for mine prinsipper, ikke for å «få noe igjen»

This is a lot of words to say, “Yikes! That Washington Post story about us illegally killing survivors on the open seas was 100% correct!”

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.

We executed multiple members of that crew.
Heinz-Wilhelm Eck might have something to say about this one.

Heard and interesting, dark thought today.
Europeans have to make up their minds if they want Ukraine to continue to have their backs — or to be the base for their enemy, because that’s what will happen once Russia controls it.

Jeg skal prøv å sy sammen en tråd med noen av de verste eksemplene i morgen, men jeg har lest nok til å kunne slå fast at ark. no bør KI- skammes herfra til evigheten for at de holder seg med slike _enorme_ mengder med åpenbart Ki-slaps på nettsidene sine.

Jeg har lurt på hvorfor toget har kjørt med lav fart ut av og inn til Råde stasjon, men jeg har trodd at det har vært nye rutiner rundt usikrede planoverganger. Viser seg at det er noe helt annet.

Norges forsvarsminister har invitert Pete Hegseth til Norge. Men hvordan mottar vi en krigsforbryter? (Siden det ikke er noen krig, er han ganske enkelt en morder). Med røp løper eller håndjern? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Det som gjer Hegseth ekstra ekkel, sjølv i Trump-land er at han så tydeleg nyt å drepa. Ein veldig øydelagd person.
SCOOP: For the Trump admin's Sept. 2 strike targeting 11 men on a boat suspected of ferrying drugs, SecDef Hegseth gave an order, officials say, to kill them all. When two men were still alive, orders were given to strike again, finishing them off.

Litt fascinerande at Nokon må gå seier at skulevegring "ikkje fanst då me var små". (Sjølv om ein kan tenkja seg ein uuttalt "nesten" der). Det gjorde det jo, sjølv om det tydelegvis er veldig mykje vanlegare no. Og så er me jo alltid tidleg ute med ting på Voss.

Eit poeng som sjeldan er framme når det blir drøfta innvandring og svenske tilstandar, er at det er 15 innvandrarar frå Andorra i Noreg, og berre 8 i Sverige. Dette er det ingen som torer å snakka om.

Det interessante er at Sverige blir et foregangseksempel for Bech Holte fordi de har lavere skattesats på arbeidsinntekt. Men Sverige har lavere vekst i BNP enn Norge, og flere arbeidsledige.

Fellestrekket ved de debattene som KrF hevder at "ingen tør å ta" er at det gjør ikke de heller. De bruker dem bare som søknadskjema til Dagsnytt 18, hvor de sier at de ikke mente det de sa i søknaden.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Eg vurderer å leggja inn 10 fiktive personar i bygdeboka. Ein ekstra veslebror her, ein fråskild barndomskjærast der. Dei som klarer å identifisera dei, får som premie tilbake pengane for boka.
