Fordi folka ved Valganalyse-prosjektet ved Kristiania spurte om jeg ville skrive dette som en del av det prosjektet. Det er ikke en forskningsartikkel, men noen umiddelbare tanker ført i pennen dagen etter valget.

Her er min tidlige analyse av stortingsvalget (del av Kristianias Valganalyse-prosjekt). Mye var avgjort lenge før valgkampen begynte denne gangen.

De viktigste trendene ved valget i 2025 ble på mange måter avgjort lenge før valgdagen. Les mer.

Reluctantly, I agree. We need to draw the line, otherwise Russia will just push further.

The correct response to Russian fighters overflying NATO territory is *obviously* to shoot them down. The reason why this is important is good old credibility. You don't do it now, you signal to the other side that you are afraid; therefore, they will do it again and again.

forskjellsbehandlingen Eirik Jensen nyter godt av i møte med fengselsvesenet er altså helt sinnsykt og dyp fornærmelse mot alle de folka som er alvorlig psykisk syke og ikke får slippe fri eller behandle fotlenke som om det er valgfritt

The world is on fire and the future in question but, small ray of sunshine:

Solar-powered cars are coming next year. Yeah, you read that right.

Imagine getting 10-40 miles a day of range from just parking your car someplace sunny. It's coming.

Solar-Powered Cars and Trucks Are Almost Here
New, power-sipping EVs due next year are efficient enough to gain 10 to 40 miles of daily charge from the sun alone.

Our authors find automation risk lowers political turnout for men but not women, while strong populist right mobilization can offset the decline. Job impacts but not awareness, drive these effects.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The three most damning paras in the UN Report alleging that Israel is perpetrating genocide in Gaza: Siege starvation, attacks on health care, direct targeting of children as patterns that cannot be explained except if group destruction is one animating purpose.

The involvement of the Downing Street press operation in this is genuinely shameful. Someone present should use their question to grill the PM on this, on camera.

Norway’s strict antibiotic policies pay off. Record-low use in humans & animals, and some of Europe’s lowest #AMR rates. But ESBL & VRE are on the rise, so vigilance is vital.

Om du legger til at ikke alt ble gull og grønne skoger med Sp i regjering, at strømprisene gikk i taket osv så tror jeg du har dekket mye. I tillegg: andre partier har vært flinke til å mobilisere på andre saker og stjålet velgere fra Sp, f eks FrP

Sp svevet langt over normalnivå 2017/2021 på at de var tydeligste opposisjonsparti mot sterk sentralisering som sto veldig høyt på dagsorden. Naturlig at de faller tilbake når sentraliseringen dempes, distrikspol faller på dagsorden og de er i posisjon.

Norwegian democracy is boring. They all congratulate each other, no one storms the parliament, and the results are in so you can be in bed well before midnight. Is it even a 21st century democracy?
