Could just as well be interpreted as Ivory-towerism, if not carefully implemented.

A view over KTH campus from the clock tower
A different view of the KTH campus, from the clock tower. The first experimental TV broadcasts in Sweden were made from here in the 1950s.

Underskatta inte EUs (och i synnerhet svenska regeringens) förmåga att fortsätta ”diskutera” (läs: förhala) eventuella åtgärder kring Israel-Gaza tills konflikten tagit slut av sig själv @utrikesdep.bsky.social

Last week, President Trump removed key protections from a marine protected area that's home to coral reefs, whales, sea turtles, and countless fish. My op-ed for @us.theconversation.com explains why that's bad and we should not do that.

Future pledged and allocated funds are also much higher.

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

Depressing to see that #google is participating in fake news and humoring a deranged president. Nobody outside of the current US administration are calling this ”Gulf of America”, so why are you? maps.app.goo.gl/SBSaxoeCY5if...
