For en helt! 🥰🤩

40 year anniversary of my workplace, the Modum Bad Research Institute.
Several prominent guests are present, and we are starting with a lecture by Professor Jaime Delgadillo. So important with his focus on and inclusion of sociodemographic and economic factors in personalised psychotherapy research:

Greta Thunberg and Irish comedian and activist Tadhg Hickey sum it up in 28 seconds

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Enig! Vi må fortsette å gi dem motstand. Og ikke bli lurt når de sier at det handler om åpen dialog og ytringsfrihet når vi liksom må høre på meningene deres. Jeg har i alle fall ikke tenkt å diskutere med folk som vil ta fra andre menneskerettighetene deres. Folk må ha et minimum av anstendighet.

EXTREME HEAT WAVE IN SAUDI ARABIA

EXCEPTIONAL Minimum 34.5C at Medinah just 0.3C from the mid-September WORLD RECORD hottest night

Scorching heat on the Red Sea coast:47C+ at Yenbo.

Next 2 days might rewrite history and break historic WORLD records !

Vel, jeg tror ingen har lært noe som helst? Mulig jeg desillusjonert, men synes ting går utelukkende i feil retning når det gjelder reaksjonær/fascistisk politikk.

Politikken hans handler om å skade andre og gjøre livet til andre verre. Begrense frihet, helse og livskvalitet for kvinner og minoriteter. Gjøre den hvite mannen stor igjen. Skjønner ikke hvorfor folk som han (og NRK) tror de skal kunne mene det uten å få motstand.

A hate-driven agenda stoked by politicians & pundits has fuelled violence, intimidation & division.

But we know the truth:
❌ Free speech is NOT a cover for hate speech
❌ Inciting hatred is NOT defending freedom
❌ Migration is NOT to blame for political and economic turmoil. It’s a scapegoat.

Bottles thrown at police as 100 officers clash with ‘unite the kingdom’ marchers – UK politics live Met police estimate 110,000 people attended rally, with smaller number of counter-protesters ‘penned in’

In June 2024, 80,000 of us marched peacefully to #RestoreNatureNow with hardly a mention in the media. Were we supposed to have thrown stones and fought the police to be noticed?

Retorisk spørsmål?

🧵
Very excited (w/ @omarjcamanto.bsky.social) to share our preprint tutorial for using our R 📦 dySEM for #dyadic data analysis with latent variables, in cross-sectional data sets.

This paper has been literal years in the making, and provides three distinct tutorials.

De rike okker og akker seg over de fattiges arbeidsmoral, og vi har hørt det før.

US sanctions UN expert Francesca Albanese, critic of Israel's Gaza offensive Secretary of State Marco Rubio linked the move to her support for the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Rather than place sanctions on those slaughtering babies on an industrial scale, those calling out are sanctioned.

We are witnessing the utterly unthinkable, and the consequences will endure far into the future.

Bra👏🏻👏🏻

Og dette synes jeg er overraskende lite? “Ifølge Statens arbeidsmiljøinstitutt hadde gravide kvinner i alderen 20 til 44 år en sykefraværsrate på 21 prosent i 2019. Det var over fire ganger høyere enn for ikke-gravide kvinner i samme aldersgruppe.”

Nå må Nav, legene og NHO slutte å sutre.

Great thread by @ipanalysis.bsky.social on AI and qualitative analysis (and other things). I remain completely baffled about the enthusiasm for using AI to do qualitative analysis and (reflexive) TA specifically... not least because it is profoundly unethical, exploitative, eco disaster technology

Forventer vi ting av NRK nå plutselig? Hilsen stedet som ukritisk publiserer nyheter fra IDF.

Veldig viktig poeng!

Jeg er en energisk person uten barn, og jeg opplever arbeidslivet i helsevesenet (også basert på venners historier) som utmattende og klaustrofobisk. Hvis jeg synes det er sånn, hva med alle som er eldre, pårørende, har sykdommer og omsorgsoppgaver? Vilt & uholdbart!

I know! A very good initiative. All the buses were fully booked yesterday, so there certainly is a demand for this kind of travel.

Climate aspect:
-People say: The plane flies anyway! Yes, but now I left my money in the train buissness.
-Slow travel is time-consuming, but very satisfying. You can observe how you physically move through the landscape and the materiality of the world.

We need better trains, but I recommend it!

-Try to have some time between trains, but when there is a delay, you can take any train. Book a seat on your new train at Deutsche Bahn for 6.90€
-Maybe book a sleeper spot for the night train? Sometimes 1st class is a good investment
-You can’t always charge your phone on trains
-People are nice!

Came home, where my beloved waited for me with homemade pizza and we watched a really fun 1991 movie. Then I slept 11h!

Some concluding remarks for long-distance train travel in Europe. Bring:

-20-30€ in cash & coins
-A lot of water&some food
-A book or two
-Sleeping gear (pillow, mask, ear plugs)

Sopot (PL) - Oslo (NO) by train, last, fifth leg of the journey.

Bus between Malmö and Oslo, which lasted 7.5h.

The trip was nice, I read a research paper about couple communication, took three naps and looked at some Mamdani videos.

Looking pretty shabby after this 33h voyage. Happy to be home!

Intermezzo: Malmö!

3h wait. Went for a lovely walk by the sea and in the castle park. Had a coffee. Bought some cashews & dried mango, sandwich and a protein bar for the last part of the trip.

Have been travelling for 26h now and I can feel it, but I’m also in a really good mood and home soon!

PL-NO by train. Fourth leg: Berlin-Malmö with Snälltoget night train.

Well, I’m alive?

Despite the comfortable window seat with a table to rest my pillow & head on, it was a trial. I was surrounded by teenagers on interrail, and we all know they don’t sleep much.

But! I do feel fine, good even.

Polish rails have very good food! I also recommend the high-speed train Pendolino, I took it from Kraków to Sopot (5h journey). 1st class was fun and luxurious.

Intermezzo: Berlin!

Second hands & walks in the rain & Vietnamese food. Ice cream with white chocolate and orange marmelade.

Always remember to carry 6€ for the luggage lockers, guys!

I love this city. ❤️

PL-NO by train, part 3.

Bus for train between Frankfurt (Oder) and Berlin Hbf. Because of my timeliness this morning I now have five hours in Berlin.

Later, the night train. My two previous times with Snälltoget were both bloody horrible and weirdly exhilarating at the same time.

Ikke hør på de folka! Å tjene penger og betale skatt utgjør ikke et menneskes verdi. Alle på uføretrygd har uendelige andre måter å være verdifulle på enn kroner og øre❤️
