GDP per capita is basically the same in Norway and the US, so of course a social democratic US would have the same gas price as Norway ($8.40/gal).

Kaiser Wilhelm II famously quipped that if Britain landed an army in Germany he would send the police to arrest them.
I think Zelenskyj should do that to Hungary.

Avg. price for gas in Norway today was $8.40/gal. Good to see Trump work towards making the US a Nordic style social democracy 😉

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Trondheim Rødt har hatt Brykjeflot-saken og det debattmøtet med Kari Jacqueson om Syria (pro-Assad). Forundrer meg ikke at noen dukker opp med flag der nei.

Tanker om OL-søknad:
1) Kun Norge: Bygg høyhastighetstog mellom Oslo og Trondheim og ha øvelsene på forskjellige steder langs linjen. Utøverlandsbyene blir studentboliger.
2) Norge og Sverige (+DK): Bygg høyhastighetstog mellom hovedstadene og ha øvelsene på forskjellige steder langs linjen.

The Democracy Manifest guy being manhandled into a red car by the cops. He's now Andy Windsor and one of the arresting officers is Paddington Bear, who always puts in a shift regardless of his day job as a Peruvian psychopomp.

A man pushed me in the street, he wanted to teach me a lesson. Is that OK now? | Lucy Pasha-Robinson Many women reading this will have experienced something similar: a warning that sharing public space isn’t a man’s job, it’s a woman’s, says Lucy Pasha-Robinson, a Guardian assistant Opinion editor

This piece sums up a thought i've had for a long time, which is that the key to understanding the success of Farage and Reform is recognising that 'Being a cunt' is a political project now, and that being irritable and anti-social is politically more advantageous www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
