"Vi har totalt mislyktes med integreringen av innvandrere de siste årene", sier Høyre på radio. Har vi virkelig det? Eller sitter Høyre-representanten bare og ljuger på radio? Jeg tror det siste.

will dismiss TX applicants as “unprepared”. TX is modeling their #RaceToTheBottom by following OK's lead. TX may even beat OK & become 50th in the nation in education. DEI makes you smarter b/c you learn from other cultures. White Nationalism makes you stupid. If you don’t resist, you’re a loser.

"At its peak, Alang employed more than 60,000 workers. Today, that number has shrunk to fewer than 15,000, according to the union." […]

🧵PUBLIC HEALTH SHOULD NOT BE A CULTURE WAR

😷 It’s bizarre watching politicians, like Kemi Badenoch perform trauma around masks while millions live with the reality of not masking; death, disability, ME, Long Covid.

The Guardian are asking for opinions on masking 🖇️👇 /1

I signed this open letter against the blind adoption of "AI" in our science and in our universities, and I urge other scientists and university staff in Germany to do the same.

Otherwise it's a #RaceToTheBottom

This is how you run. This is how you win. This is the politics we need right now. Democratic socialist candidates can inspire people again, and fight the right effectively.

This could be extended to white, rural populations in the US with comparatively fewer immigrants than urban areas: these folks buy into MAGA distortions about “drug mules” and “eating your pets”, all to build political energy rooted in fear, for the purpose of stoking a culture war

The whiter the area the more likely it is to have a Reform problem. Immigration isn’t the problem, otherwise you’d get Reform in more diverse areas - it’s fear of change among older people.

HUMANITARIANISM AND STRENGTH Somebody writes complaining of something I said about progress. I have forgotten what I said, but I am quite certain that it was (like a certain Mr. Douglas in a poem which I have also forgotten) tender and true. In any case, what I say now is this. Human history is so rich and complicated that you can make out a case for any course of improvement or retrogression. I could make out that the world has been growing more democratic, for the English franchise has certainly grown more democratic. I could also make out that the world has been growing more aristocratic, for the English Public Schools have certainly grown more aristocratic. I could prove the decline of militarism by the decline of flogging; I could prove the increase of militarism by the increase of standing armies and conscription. But I can prove anything in this way. I can prove that the world has always been growing greener. Only lately men have invented absinthe and the Westminster Gazette. I could prove the world has grown less green. There are no more Robin Hood foresters, and fields are being covered with houses. I could show that the world was less red with khaki or more red with the new penny stamps. But in all cases progress means progress only in some particular thing. Have you ever noticed that strange line of Tennyson, in which he confesses, half consciously, how very conventional progress is?— “Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change.” Even in praising change, he takes for a simile the most unchanging thing. He calls our modern change a groove. And it is a groove; perhaps there was never anything so groovy
