My Post headline

Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11

The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.

Her er et oversiktlig kryss der syklister kan sykle alle veier på rødt, med vikeplikt. Andre gir deg f eks bare rett til å svinge til høyre, avhengig av krysset.

Lyskkilt med vikepliktskilt for syklister under.

Bildet i toppen av saken viser et T-kryss, så jeg syns ikke akkurat det er så rart at folk sykler… i mitt andre hjem Lyon har de fleste lyskryss alternativt vikepliktskilt for syklister, som indikerer hvilke retninger de kan sykle i krysset selv om lyset er rødt. Det funker utrolig fint.

Syklisten snor seg forbi bussholdeplassen i stor fart. Helt inntil fortauet sneier han en dame som er på vei ut i fotgjengerovergangen med barnevogn. Etter nestenulykken fortsetter syklisten i full fa...

People keep saying we're 'giving' money to Argentina but as I understand it we only lose to money if the Argentine peso loses value and how often does that actually happen

I absolutely snorted at this earlier (“to ease the entry and exit of PMs, Macron is installing a giant cat flap at Matignon”).

But then he goes and renames the same guy?! French satirists are having the Onion problem of life being beyond satire.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Frode Forfang er god på problembeskrivelsene og ikke så god på løsningene, mente vi i Klassekampen før sommeren.

Enkle løsninger på hårete problemer

Mottakelsen av Frode Forfangs nye bok lover ikke godt, verken for flyktninger eller for Europas grunnverdier.

according to an immigration attorney representing several arrested workers, ICE agents chose to arrest the Korean workers to fulfill the quota of 3,000 daily immigrant arrests set by Stephen Miller www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Stephen Miller’s Quota Likely Drove Korean Arrests In Immigration Raid

When ICE agents arrested over 300 Korean workers at a Georgia battery plant, a daily immigrant arrest quota was likely on their minds.

Trump er hastigt i færd med at omdanne USA til et personalistisk diktatur med stærke totalitære og facistiske tendenser. Og han møder kun meget begrænset modstand fra institutioner og civilsamfundet. Jeg havde - selvom jeg forsker i diktaturer - aldrig troet, at det kunne komme så vidt, så hurtigt.

How much will it take for people to accept that Israel is committing a genocide, and how many reports need to be released for our governments to stop it?

Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says

The panel finds that four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out against Palestinians during the war.

Det er litt ironisk at de har laget ekstra snille statsborgerregler for «ledende akademikere» når alle hinderne i utlendingsloven gjør at basically ingen vil kvalifisere til å bruke dem.

Selv må jeg si nei til alt av sensur om dagen pga sykdom. Selv om jeg hadde hatt litt ork, kan jeg ikke ha nyoppståtte arbeidsforhold etter sykemeldingstidspunkt uten å få problemer med NAV. Det offentlige sliter veldig med konseptet flere arbeidsgivere.

Å herrejemini for et opplegg. Jeg har jo ment lenge at full tosensorordning vil kollapse norsk akademia, og IHVERTFALL om ingen tilsatte fra utenfor EU kan ta sensuroppdrag uten å risikere oppholdstillatelsen sin. Her må nesten dept på banen snart… www.khrono.no/har-jobba-i-...

Har jobba i Noreg i ni år — nekta opphald etter sensuroppdrag

Professor Justin Parks har fått avslag på søknad om å få bli i landet. Grunnen er at han har vore sensor ved andre universitet enn sitt eige.
