Slik endret Kongehuset forklaring om kronprinsessens Epstein-kontakt I 2019 sa Slottet at Kronprinsessen hadde brutt all kontakt med Jeffrey Epstein i 2013. Fredag ble det klart at det ikke stemmer.

Jeg tror det er på tide med en seriøs diskusjon om monarkiets framtid. Dette går ikke lenger.

We've got ISSUES. Literally.

We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

Gratulerer så mye, Kristian!

Å snakke om anti-amerikanisme som et problem nå er så tonedøvt og tåpelig at NRK burde styrt unna, men det er nok et eksempel på denne «balansen» som de søker etter. Fordummende, ikke opplysende. #polkvart

Trump on NATO:

"The problem with NATO is that we'll be there for them 100% but I'm not sure that they'd be there for us, if we gave them the call".

We did get the call on 9/11. 26 NATO members sent troops to defend the US. Hundreds died doing so. It was the only time Article 5 has been activated.

Trump and his cronies are dismantling American democracy and threatening long-standing allies with invasion for no reason beyond wanting to expand the US. Where's the outrage among Americans? How can 40% still approve of Trump at this point?

In any somewhat functioning democracy this would lead to the removal of the leader

Det må jo være helt uaktuelt for Europa å dra til VM slik utviklingen er? Under paraplyen til noen som gav verten en fredspris? Og der verten truer med å angripe Europa? Det vil forøvrig svi noe voldsomt for egoet hans. Denne debatten bør på bordet umiddelbart og utfallet bør være gitt.

It's funny that one of the things people learn as very small children is "you get better at doing the thing by doing the thing."

Everyone learns this as a small kid, it is very obviously completely true.

And using genAI manages to instantly make people forget it, and start arguing about it.

Sjøl i en situasjon der Demokratene vinner kontrollen over USA tilbake og famler for å rydde opp de neste åra, så vil det være helt ÅPENBART i europeiske sikkerhetsinteresser at europeiske regjeringer slutter å mate det amerikanske beistet med mer penger. Kjøp europeisk - også programvare.

Croatia thinks Trump should steal territory from Norway, not Denmark

Kroatias president: – La dem ta Svalbard, ikke Grønland Nato-landets leder mener at Donald Trump burde skifte fokus fra Grønland til Svalbard. Nå får han svar fra det norske Utenriks­departementet.

Jeg er litt overrasket over at det ikke får mer oppmerksomhet at en alliert (Kroatia) anbefaler å stjele territorium fra oss?

Meta (Facebook & Instagram) is now under Trump's control.

Congratulations! That's awesome - and well-deserved! 😁

Definitely worth going to this! Nice people, nice city, interesting research 😁

Thank you!

“These findings provide clear evidence that data collected on MTurk simply cannot be trusted.”

NYT: “Asked in a wide-ranging interview if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: ‘Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.’”
