Eppur si muove! -and yet it moves. Something Galileo probably never said, but what a beautiful retort in defiance of religious oppression it would have been.

Ok, her har vi jo en ny KI-skandale. Og den innbefatter jo attpåtil Riksrevisjonen. De har gått helt god for et notat fra Menon (av alle steder) om at KI vil effektivisere staten med 155 000 årsverk. Hvordan Menon har kommet frem til tallet? Ved å spørre Chat GPT. www.scup.com/doi/10.18261...

Hemmeligheten for evig konsulentlykke er å påpeke problemene før endringer får tid til å virke, slik at man kan omstille på ny tidlig nok.

Og gjennomgående; effektivisering, gjerne med noe-noe digitale greier.

Og nå kan vi legge til "KI" med megetsigende selvfølgelighet uten å kunne si til hva.

Thanks for keeping my name out there. I follow back immediately.

But enough about me, let's talk about Nazis. Remember what they called people in 1930s Germany who just stood by and watched ... Nazis. Because the moment is important, I will be at #No_Kings on Saturday. It's time to stand up.

Monica Gandhi delivered a powerful plenary at #EACS2025 on the history and the future of HIV treatment.
Although HIV and AIDS have largely dropped out of the headlines, the pandemic is not over.
More than 40.8m people are now living with HIV (Russian data is missing) more than at any other time.

Har Russlands krigføring mot Ukraina pågått i 3,5 år, Knut Magnus Berge? At Trump forteller det samme gjør ikke saken bedre - for det skal ikke lønne seg for Russland å lyve. Russland har drevet krigen i over 11,5 år - en «fullskalakrig» i drøyt 3,5 år. #refleksivkontroll

Forstår politilederne i det hele tatt hvilken påvirkning forslagene har i forhold til ytringsfrihet og demokratiske verdier, eller er det å fange og hindre kriminelle alt de klarer å forholde seg til?

Staten vil finne ut hvem som ytrer seg anonymt. Forslaget er farlig.

Det er ikke forebygging, mener Trine Skei Grande med flere.

Siden det er DEN dagen minner jeg om at skatt og byråkrati er sivilisasjon.

Eller for å snu setningen:

sivilisasjon forutsetter skatt og byråkrati.

An Israel that was serious about a two state solution would be treating Barghouti as a potential Mandela.

That Israel doesn't exist.

The one that does is trying to kill the man.

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
