“Why are men afraid of women?”
“If your strength is only the other's weakness, you live in fear,” Ged said.
“Yes; but women seem to fear their own strength, to be afraid of themselves.”
“Are they ever taught to trust themselves?” Ged asked
“No,” she said.

Sweden: UN expert warns of gradual erosion of rights of human rights defenders GENEVA - Human rights defenders in Sweden are experiencing a slow, gradual erosion of their human rights, a UN expert* warned today.“I am alarmed about reports of threats, hate speech, stigmatisation ...

What’s Behind Noam Chomsky’s Obituary-Marring Epstein Friendship? He seemed like such a fiercely uncompromised critic of elites. But maybe it’s always been more complicated than that.

This is a brilliantly written piece by @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social to understand:

All the Fearless Cassandras This is for the prophetesses who knew about Bill Clinton, Epstein, Trump, all of them.

For decades, the survivors of predation by the Trump-Epstein circle could see what we could not. For their vision and clarity they should be held in awe.

Är det fascinerande eller motbjudande?

We live in a world where the most powerful people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

In the age of artificial intelligence, the arts and humanities are more important than ever. Properly taught they encourage critical thinking and discernment.

Taking Back International Women’s Day - Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Women’s Day was begun by U.S. socialists; it’s time we reclaimed it.

screenshot of text::"The United Nations instituted International Women’s Day (IWD) in 1975—or so the official story runs. Few remember not only that the origins of March 8 lie in the history of the international workers’ movement, but that it was the socialist movement in the United States that first launched the idea of a day devoted to women’s rights centered on working-class women. In fact, the Socialist Party USA first established a day of education and action around women’s rights called “Woman’s Day” in 1908, and the following year U.S. socialists held demonstrations in several cities to demand women’s suffrage. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed the transformation of the U.S. Woman’s Day into an international day of action—International Working Women’s Day—which, in 1914, started being celebrated on March 8. Three years later, on March 8, 1917, Russian women workers took to the streets in St. Petersburg, organizing a strike to demand bread and peace. It was the beginning of the Russian Revolution."

Fantastisk!

"Millenial Nazi whose only way to understand the world comes from a pastiche of blockbuster films and video games," is really becoming a defining aesthetic of our era.

if the government gives you a choice between going to prison or murdering children and you don't choose prison you never had a drop of courage inside you. You're a coward. A worm. A disgrace.

These people intuitively know that if you're going to do performative cruelty, you need a great costume.

Can’t share IG here & Tiktok censored their lyrics, so I am sharing it like this. But @subradioband.bsky.social is amazing. I love this so much.

Ska testa förklaringen på barnet som kommit hem med precis det här!

Mitt syskonbarn, 10 då, som fick veta han hade fel när han sa Thailand som exempel på
icke-demokrati. Jag var en sekund från att maila läraren från min universitetsmail med
mina senaste publikationer om det landet, men barnet tyckte det var slöseri med tid på den läraren.

Hur skulle du, med den expertis du nu har, förklara ljudet för barnet Olof?

Det är ett så dumt påstående!

Here we go again. Men vi har iallafall en kulturkanon!

Rädda Medelhavsmuseet Medelhavsmuseet och Östasiatiska riskerar att stängas för gott. En hyreshöjning på 57% tar knäcken på kulturen.

Detta kommer förmodligen av mekanisk och oreflekterad översättning från engelskans "international law". Men svenska är ett språk med andra rötter än enbart engelska. Folkrätt återfinns i skrift på svenska redan 1704, kommer från tyskans "Völkerrecht" som i sin kommer från latinets "ius gentium".

Inte helt olikt vad min son lämnade efter sig på en snabbmatsrestaurangtoalett igår efter att han blivit åksjuk i bilen.
