"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

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...

Helt enig i dette. At «nivået er alt annet enn nøytralt» gir bare ikke mening. Vi har et oljefond, avkastningen av det skal brukes. Dette burde ikke være så vanskelig.

Lederlønningene i helsevesenet er umusikalske, trolig unødvendige og de skaper veldig mye støy. Men samtidig er dette en avsporing. Utfordringene i helse har ingenting med disse lønningene å gjøre. >> www.nrk.no/nordland/rod...

Russia’s leader isn’t nearly as strong as he’s made out to be, Andrew Ryvkin writes. “A realistic view of his power would strip Putin of his biggest leverage: the perception of his invincibility”:
Putin Is Not Winning
Underestimating the Russian leader is dangerous, but ascribing dark powers to him plays right into his hands.

Losing my mind over the Haagen-Dazs naming process
"Häagen-Dazs" is an invented pseudo-Scandinavian phrase coined by the American Reuben Mattus, in a quest for a brand name that he claimed was Danish-sounding. However, the company's pronunciation of the name ignores the letters "ä" and "s", and letters like "ä" or digraphs like "zs" do not exist in Danish. 7][note 11 According to Mattus, it was a tribute to Denmark's exemplary treatment of its Jews during the Second World War, 151 and included an outline map of Denmark on early labels. Mattus felt that Denmark was also known for its dairy products and had a positive image in the United States. 151 His daughter Doris Hurley reported in the 1996 PBS documentary An Ice Cream Show that her father sat at the kitchen table for hours saying nonsensical words until he came up with a combination he liked. The reason he chose this method was so that the name would be unique and original

Her mener jeg Anine Kjerulf og andre tar fundamentalt feil, og muligens er påvirket av dagens debattkultur der alt reduseres til ytringsfrihet, og til hva som er lovlig.

Belarus rarely makes Western headlines — but it should this week.
A quiet move by the Trump administration has just handed Alexander Lukashenka, and indirectly Vladimir Putin, an unexpected gift.

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here.

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.

Despite the noise, renewables keep rising now generating more electricity than coal.

@iea.org halved its US outlook, but raised India’s by 10%, putting it on track as the No. 2 growth market after China. MENA up 23%, driven by Saudi wind and solar.

2/5 People keep underestimating Trump. But no authoritarian starts with their biggest crimes.

The Gestapo didn’t begin with gas chambers. Trump’s ICE is already breaking laws.

The potential for even more escalation is very real

Kva gjer ein historie- og norsklærar som har gått lei av ord? Eg kjenner på ein trong til å arbeide for reduksjon av ordbruken i samfunnet, snarare enn å bidra til ordgyteriet.
