My condoleances, internet stranger.

I've seen Alzheimers take close family too, and yes, it is a hellish disease.

And it's really a testament to your mothers character that she kept her positive sides through it all. The same was true in our case, and that memory still warms me.

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

If this ends up being the path taken by the US I wish you judiciousness in choosing your targets.

The unintended consequences will be many. The execution will require restraint when short term American interests stand against a comittment to global democracy.

Just a layman outsiders two cents.

We should also let other countries screw with US corporations who are messing with their democracy.

When Xtwitter, Facebook, and other social media are actively participating in harming of other states, or even turning off their services as punishment, we should allow responses.

Fucking hell, what a maroon.

Happy to hear this take.

This article has been mentioned by a media organization: Zoltan Istvan (October 24, 2016). "Transhumanism And A Presidential Campaign Update". Huffington Post. Retrieved November 17, 2016. Dear World, Many friends have been asking if I will be voting for Hillary Clinton on November 8th. They ask this because my Wikipedia page is constantly being vandalized and manipulated by trolls, and it says that's what I will do. So here is my answer: 1) Never believe what you read on Wikipedia. 2) NEVER believe what you read on Wikipedia. 3) While I'm ok with Hillary (and I especially like Gary Johnson and Jill Stein) I will be voting for myself on November 8th. I just wanted to let you all know that! #transhumanism #ScienceCandidate #Election2016 #POTUS

Wow. Quite the wiki-page.

The "Talk" page didn't disappoint either.

"This article has been mentioned by a media organization"

Of course it has.

Serious people still treat Viségrad24 as a repostable source. I hope this report will get their attention. Because me telling them in the comments "it mixes facts with fake news and is not a reliable source" didn't do the trick.

Oh. Backing the blowhard under the guise of neutrality, not realizing the resolve of the quiet type.

Personally I could only make 5/8—despite my 8th year focusing on the sector.

Same score here, I really enjoyed the exercise.

I feel it would be both harder and easier catching them in the wild while browsing.

Easier: more context, can check against other sources.

Harder: the wisdom to get suspiscious in the first place, the judgement when it's worth going deeper.

30 minuter – Avsnitt 7 Anders Holmberg intervjuar författaren Lena Andersson.

Mitt främsta problem med Andersson är att hon frånkänner ukrainarna egna, sunda önskningar. Ukrainare har en starkare längtan efter fred och en bättre förståelse av krigets pris än vad Andersson någonsin kan filosofera sig fram till. De vet även allt om vad som händer när man försöker tillmötesgå 🇷🇺.

Yeah, saw early speculation about that on social media.

Didn't have the technical skills to discard it, but found it weird on the points you raise that even a lay-man can appreciate.

That is what struck me as an outsider regarding many of the responses.

Other regions/countries being afforded very little agency, and being portrayed as unable to change their relationship to the United States and the world even in the face of a shock such as this one.

Life Strategy.

Are we currently clear on opsec?

This is where the fake Putin is no smarter than his inspiration.

War is not merely the use of military force, and confusing those categories is bad. The error was naming big standard political level competition with a force component variant of war.

...once again, one of the easier ways to turn up the virality on your post is to go from "[popular thing] is true" to "no one wants to admit it but [popular thing] is true"

The main pages are great for a quick overview, and if in doubt you can check the sources (or lack of them).

But the discussion pages . . . Sometimes you find some real gems in there.

OBS! - Att det ens finns röster i Sverige som försvarar de senaste dagarnas fullskaliga attack mot pressfriheten och yttrandefriheten i USA är farligare och viktigare än vad ni verkar förstå.

DET ÄR INTE FÖRVÄNTAT. DET ÄR LIVSFARLIGT.

I'm not surprised about Orban.

AFP, Die Zeit, and Politico could do better though.

Conflating hired assasins with charges of assault which could include, and likely does include, people being pushed into lockers (bad enough) is disingenious.

Orbán räknade misshandel som mord – tog fel på 7 000 procent Påstod att 284 flickor åtalades för mord – här är den rätta siffran

The number is actually close to Orbans claim, if you include Assault. Also per the prosecution authority.

www.tv4.se/artikel/5JBH...

"murder AND assault" is also doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, given the context of Orbans claim.

The number of girls 15-17 who were charged with murder/manslaughter was four according to the Swedish prosecution authority.

Still a depressing number, but far from Orbans claim.

How did you get the number "68 women in that age bracket were suspected of murder and assault" from the Swedish report you linked?

I'm fluent in Swedish and I read the report. It focuses on the victims not the perpetrators, and I saw no detailed statistics that would support that figure?
