Takk for meg! Om underfinansieringen av universitetene og om det å holde fanen høyt for grunnforskning.

Mye klokt her, både om underfinansiering og ny pensjonsalder i akademia.

Fordi folka ved Valganalyse-prosjektet ved Kristiania spurte om jeg ville skrive dette som en del av det prosjektet. Det er ikke en forskningsartikkel, men noen umiddelbare tanker ført i pennen dagen etter valget.

Her er min tidlige analyse av stortingsvalget (del av Kristianias Valganalyse-prosjekt). Mye var avgjort lenge før valgkampen begynte denne gangen.

Reluctantly, I agree. We need to draw the line, otherwise Russia will just push further.

Slapp fengsel og skulle sone med fotlenke hjemme Den har aldri vært i bruk.

forskjellsbehandlingen Eirik Jensen nyter godt av i møte med fengselsvesenet er altså helt sinnsykt og dyp fornærmelse mot alle de folka som er alvorlig psykisk syke og ikke får slippe fri eller behandle fotlenke som om det er valgfritt

dette er pill råttent

Solar-Powered Cars and Trucks Are Almost Here New, power-sipping EVs due next year are efficient enough to gain 10 to 40 miles of daily charge from the sun alone.

The world is on fire and the future in question but, small ray of sunshine:

Solar-powered cars are coming next year. Yeah, you read that right.

Imagine getting 10-40 miles a day of range from just parking your car someplace sunny. It's coming.

The gendered long-term consequences of automation risk on electoral behaviour: Evidence from Norway BERNT BRATSBERG, HENNING FINSERAAS, PETER EGGE LANGSÆTHER, OLE ROGEBERG

📘 64.4

Our authors find automation risk lowers political turnout for men but not women, while strong populist right mobilization can offset the decline. Job impacts but not awareness, drive these effects.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The three most damning paras in the UN Report alleging that Israel is perpetrating genocide in Gaza: Siege starvation, attacks on health care, direct targeting of children as patterns that cannot be explained except if group destruction is one animating purpose.

The involvement of the Downing Street press operation in this is genuinely shameful. Someone present should use their question to grill the PM on this, on camera.

Self-care is overrated—helping others has the biggest benefits for everyone involved

A new 2-week intervention finds that helping others improves well-being more than "self-kindness", with benefits for depressed mood, anxiety, and loneliness due to social connection psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Long ago, in a study of the democratic attitudes in Germany, Dalton raised the possibility of “Fragebogendemokraten” (questionnaire democrats): people who hesitate to express their sincere dislike for “democracy” in surveys, providing instead the “socially desirable” response (1)

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold.

“We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

Om du legger til at ikke alt ble gull og grønne skoger med Sp i regjering, at strømprisene gikk i taket osv så tror jeg du har dekket mye. I tillegg: andre partier har vært flinke til å mobilisere på andre saker og stjålet velgere fra Sp, f eks FrP

Sp svevet langt over normalnivå 2017/2021 på at de var tydeligste opposisjonsparti mot sterk sentralisering som sto veldig høyt på dagsorden. Naturlig at de faller tilbake når sentraliseringen dempes, distrikspol faller på dagsorden og de er i posisjon.

Sp, Frp, Høyre og KrF har 88 mandater og flertall på Stortinget. Jeg bare nevner det.

Interview in Il Sole 24 Ore about the Norwegian elections, for the Italian speakers out there

Immigration wasn't really an issue in the campaign though. Usually the Progress Party (which btw is moderate compared to several of its continental cousins) grows when immigration is salient, but this time it mobilized on anti-tax and anti-spending messages. See whogoverns.eu/minority-lab...

Norwegian democracy is boring. They all congratulate each other, no one storms the parliament, and the results are in so you can be in bed well before midnight. Is it even a 21st century democracy?

My initial thoughts on the Norwegian 2025 elections.

whogoverns.eu/minority-lab...

I think that's right. But came from several directions: Young TikTok influencer guys, right-wing podcasts, the book by Martin Bech Holte, the debate about sick leave levels, the attacks on the wealth tax by some businesses, the billionaire tax refugees to Switzerland, etc.

Instead there's been a large public debate about growth, business & innovation, public (over)spending, etc which the Progress Party did a good job of tapping into. I suspect they attracted quite a few young men (who for some reason have become very interested in business policy lately).

I think it's always been there along with the anti-immigration aspect. However in this campaign immigration just hasn't been important for the voters. Immigration to Norway has in recent years been mainly from Ukrainian refugees, who receive broad cross-partisan support.

Makes sense! Their main message in the campaign was to cut taxes and state "overspending". They primarily mentioned immigration as a side-note, as one of the ways they could finance the tax cut (along with cuts in climate policies, bureaucracy, and foreign aid).
