Good to see you popping by, even if was just for a moment. We need you Tanner!

Marcus Aurelius didn't say this. This is too often misattributed to him.

Trump reportedly called Norwegian minister ‘out of the blue’ to ask about Nobel prize US president told Norway’s finance minister he wants the Nobel peace prize, according to the Norwegian press

I wish he was joking...

I got back in the office from my summer vacation yesterday and spent the day catching up with emails. Alec had sent me a nice greeting after a conference. I replied without knowing he was travelling in Norway, let alone reported missing! I really hope he is okay :(

Er ærlig talt forbauset over hvor gode og holdbare earbudsan deres er, selv til tross hyppig og røff bruk. Har hatt Jabra Elite 7 i over 3 år med nesten daglig bruk og dem fungerer fortsatt helt fint. Leit å høre at det selskapet går under

someone is definitely going to repost this as a screenshot with the caption "are climate activists okay??" with the joke flying over their heads much like your corpse in a few decades

Ollu lihkku ja suohttasiid!

Seems like the petition is well on its way to make it given the current pace of signatures. I'm not even an EU citizen but I'm still super stoked that this one may actually go through

The petition says that it only needs to meet the minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries in addition to the requirement of 1 mill signatures. Currently 8 countries are fulfilling that requirement. But yeah, would still be nice to get other countries above their threshold.

I'm not too familiar on how these EU citizens' petition usually turn out but I feel like french people deserve an award for making up over HALF the signatures from their country

Moreover, and perhaps more importantly, all collected data in the petition is subject to GDPR: "Likewise, the initiative organisers and the Member Statesʼ authorities are subject to the rules regarding the processing of personal data set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPRʼ)."

European Citizens' Initiative Give your support !

EU citizens, please take 30 seconds to sign the European Citizens' Initiative to ban conversion therapy (torture against LGBTQ+ people).

Only 1 day left to meet the criteria of 1 million signatures.

I really enjoyed this lecture by Jeroen. Some much needed perspectives in the geoengineering discourse as it stands right now. I'm also pretty intrigued by the book but the price tag is too much at the moment. Hopefully I'll find it marked down at some point.

Hadde gjerne lånt deg min kopi men det tar nok en stund å komme frem til Oslo fra Finnmark.. Kanskje @mbergnordlie.bsky.social har enda et par kopier liggandes?

Conveniently leaving out the fact that all of these tech-reliant fixes have their own risks and adverse side-effects, let alone need to be deployed at unrealistically large scales to even work. Seems like they may actually botch our "terraforming" more than they would reverse it.

I'm glad I could help out 😄 That quote seemed incredibly familiar but slightly off from how I remember reading it from Epictetus, which prompted me to look into it.

From Enchiridion 5 (Oldfather): "[...] It is the part of an uneducated person to blame others where he himself fares ill; to blame himself is the part of one whose education has begun; to blame neither another nor his own self is the part of one whose education is already complete."

I couldn't find that quote in the attributed text in the discourses. The closest one I could find is in Enchiridion 5 and that particular quote seems to be considered a mistranslation of that sentence that has spread around quite a lot online.

Yeah I can personally accept that we explore the possiblities of extraordinary things that can be done to slow down, halt or even reverse the effects of climate change, but it is profoundly despairing that we have come to the point where we have to consider them at all.

The act of stopping global-scale SRM (SAI/MCB) in the middle of deployment is actually the part that we know is incredibly dangerous and risky. The temperature would rapidly bounce back to its original projected level and lead to a period with a catastrophicly unstable climate and weather.

Cynicism? No, it's kind of a joke that prods to fact that the philosophies actually diverge on the values they weigh on and the requirements for eudaimonia (among other many things) rather than if they are "stronger" than one or the other. Whatever would even give a measurement of that.

Jeg var en av elevene på juryen i 2014 og husker det var utfordrende å stemme på hvilken bok sku vinne kritikerprisen. Men derimot var det ganske lett å vurdere hva som *ikke* sku vinne. Veldig godt jobba med å klare å fange oppmerksomheten til dagens unge folk. Det er mye lettere sagt enn gjort!

I've been enjoying this, this is such a throwback to my childhood! I honestly thought that this was one of those semi obscure games that no one would bother to do a comprehensive playthrough of. Looking forward to see the last part

This was a good morning read for me. Thanks for this, Sean!

Buddy, you're the one in the wrong here for embracing this stereotype that you maliciously use to frame your opponents as primitive in the article. And no, having two out of nine member orgs dedicated to reindeer herders doesn't make the entire organization consist of reindeer herders.

Jeg tenker at her er det stor potensial å anvende de nylig lanserte (og åpne!!) text-to-speech verktøyene av Divvun på nordsamisk, lulesamisk og sørsamisk. Tror det skal være svært enkelt å ordne, gjelder bare om å kartlegge hvilke stedsnavn er samiske eller norske.
