Noen som vet om Senterparti-gutta var på hyttetur i natt?

Skjermdump fra NRK-artikkel: "Siste: Et bud på 1,5 millioner kroner for date med politikeren Gyda Oddekalv er trukket tilbake, og er ikke lenger synlig på auksjonssiden. Budet kom inn klokka 01.11 natt til torsdag."

Tenk deg at du ofte ikke har råd til mat til barna dine. Og så får du vite at en støtte du har tatt for gitt, som hjelper deg å få noe på bordet i hvert fall, skal bli borte. Jeg vet selv at jeg i så fall ville fått pusteproblemer. Og sovet dårlig frem til kuttet evt ble frafalt. dette er så råttent

Vil si én ting til om dette. Mange mener at dette er takktikkeri fra regjeringen, foreslå galskap som dette slik at støttepartiene må bruke tid på d og ikke andre ting. Kanskje sant. Men dette er likevel så enormt råttent. For bare ved å foreslå det, skaper man panikk og angst hos dem det gjelder

He believes the Armageddon will be ushered in by an antichrist-type figure who cultivates a fear of existential threats such as climate change, Al and nuclear war to amass inordinate power. The idea is this figure will convince people to do everything they can to avoid something like a third world war, including accepting a one-world order charged with protecting everyone from the apocalypse that implements a complete restriction of technological progress. In his mind, this is already happening. Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: "It's become quite difficult to hide one's money."

And if investors view Klarna as an "AI company" not a "buy now pay later company" the valuation will be like 10x higher

This is the game

Klarna is playing it brilliantly, all the while people think they figured out how to replace people with AI (which is not the case)

It bothers me to no extent that the media plays how Klarna whistles

Klarna wants to the headlines to say "AI-enabled Klarna"

It would have halved its workforce without AI because it overhired 2x in 2020-21 and never corrected till now

But this is how they get front pages

When Putin talks to a Russians he consistently says that they invade Ukraine to destroy the state and nation and correct the path of history. NATO and similar framings are just for the useful foreigners.

Maria Popova @popovaprof.bsky.social · 15d

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

Forskning:
Sosialdemokrater som imiterer høyrepopulister, mister progressive velgere uten å vinne nye.
Anti-innvandringsvelgere ser ikke retorikken som troverdig, og blir hos høyrepopulistiske partier.
Men populistenes verdier normalisers. Det er en langsiktig risiko for det progressive prosjektet.

"We studied more than 70 different elections that took place in 12 western European countries over several decades, and found that when mainstream parties take more anti-immigration positions, it leads to more support for the radical right, not less."

Mimicking Farage on immigration is senseless. Labour voters feel betrayed; anti-immigration voters see through the ruse, say academics Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

By the way this is the most perfect example you're going to get of "the problem factory versus the solution factory". Let's say that this makes it possible to double the output of PowerPoint slides - what do you think the overall effect on firm productivity is going to be from that?

Fascist Russia attacked the Kyiv suburb of Bucha with Shahed flying bomb drones overnight on Oct. 1-2: Railway infrastructure and a two-story building in a non-operational sanatorium was hit. One man was injured.

Kyiv currently on air alert, with Shaheds circling the city.

This isn’t a China consensus. It’s not even a debate over a China policy. We’re not even at stoned dorm room debate level. This is dive bar boasting, chest out, does anyone have a cigarette, hey where’s my wallet?

Hear me out. We can’t commit to defend you now, while you have the goose that lays the golden egg. It’s just—we can’t! We’d be totally devastated without them eggs. So listen, here’s the deal. You split the goose in two, and teach us how to breed more, and I promise we’ll say we’ll protect you.

To close the deal with Taiwan, Lutnick suggested that the US would offer "some kind of security guarantee" so that "they can expect" that moving their supply chain into the US won't eliminate Taiwan's so-called "silicon shield," where countries like the US are willing to protect Taiwan because
"we need their silicon, their chips, so badly."
According to Lutnick, Taiwan can also be assured through the deal that the US will remain
"fundamentally reliant" upon Taiwan, as the producer of the other 50 percent of chips.
