I had a great time presenting on the WhoGov workshop on political elites. Great feedback and an amazing program.
Great start to the WhoGov elite workshop with @seibertlukas.bsky.social discussing how transparency affects MPs' side jobs and @siggi-econ.bsky.social showing that Norwegian parties and voters do a good job at filtering out candidates with criminal backgrounds.

Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

Nå må to ting skje:
1. Vi må umiddelbart ut av alle Israelske investeringer, for å sikre at vi ikke er mer delaktige i folkemord og folkerettsbrudd enn vi allerede har vært.
2. Hele systemet for oljefondets etiske krav må revideres.

Kjøpesenteret er hjertet i en av Israels største ulovlige bosetninger. Oljefondet har investert 215 mill. i eierselskapet.
Nå skal kjøpesenteret bygges ut. Bosetningens vekst truer en palestinsk landsby der Norge har vært med å finansiere en skole.

This was the plan the entire time and it was always going to be targeted towards Democratic run cities. It’s not about law and order. It’s about controlling by force the areas where Trump does not control by ideology.
Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda.

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up.
Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food.
Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.
