Nån i Malmö som vill se K Svenssons En modern gentleman ikväll på Moriskan? Har två biljetter men är dunderförkyld. Bortskänkes.

JA! '(...) det forskningspolitiska målet att svensk forskning ska hålla ”internationell världsklass”. Naturligtvis ska vi göra så bra forskning vi kan, men varför skulle det vara dåligt för Sverige att det går bättre för Belgien, eller att Norge publicerar fler artiklar per akademisk capita?"

This New Yorker piece about the Irish Famine has several paragraphs I found literally jaw-dropping (positive). This is a book review!! Good god!!!

Arkitekturupprorets ofrivillige fascist Journalister Kolbjörn Guwallius skrev förra veckan om Arkitekturupproret och hur dess ambition att förbjuda all form av arkitektur de själva inte anser vara vacker. Nu har han bemötts i Expressen.

"Han hävdar nämligen fortsatt att ”allt – ALLT – som byggs” ska se ut som just han och hans rörelse vill."

KULTURDEBATT
@kolbjorn.se fortsätter diskussionen om huruvida det Arkitekturupproret vill uppnå är fascism. Han tycker nog det.

Of surprise to literally no working mothers anywhere

Skönt att höra Hanna!

Academics are always responding to emails trying to justify what we did last week

Å jisses! Skönt, men läskigt! Sen har du aldrig den av Jonas Gardell så väl beskrivna tickande bomben som är blindtarmen. Men ändå, hoppas det går så lätt det bara går ❤️

Försämra inte högkostnadsskyddet för läkemedel Några hundralappar kan tyckas vara en liten summa, men för många kan de spela en stor roll.  En höjning drabbar alla som behöver läkemedel, men den kommer att slå särskilt hårt mot de som inte ka...

It’s a facile point but “gender ideology” is such a capacious and imprecise term—never actually defined, so it can mean anything. And it’s used almost exclusively by people advancing their own, highly specific and prescriptive ideology of gender.

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

Ja det vore fint. Blir på riktigt ledsen varje gång "debatten" dras igång igen eftersom den är så cynisk, samtidigt som min personliga upplevelse av moderssmålsundervisning eller hemspråk som det hette då var så positiv och utvecklande och viktig för mig, fr förskolan 1989 till studenten 2002.

Anthropic CEO Says Limiting China’s Access to AI Chips Is 'Existentially Important' Dario Amodei argues we must limit China’s access to AI chips so we can live under all powerful American-owned AI as opposed to all powerful Chinese-owned AI.

“we can’t innovate as well as the chinese so we need the government to stop them from beating us”

Fix your hearts or die.

Hug all the people in your life who are looking around at our political media world and thinking “what is the point of anything that I’m doing?”

✔️ Money to the Trump inaugural
✔️ Dinner at Mar-a-Lago
✔️ Getting rid of fact-checking
✔️ Putting UFC's Dana White (a key Trump ally) on Meta's board

Hard not to see these moves as an effort to avoid being politically targeted by an illiberal president.

Yes right!

Yeah it's difficult because those who love it know more about it, but up to a certain point I guess, because the scepticism is lost. If compared, I think some of these issues creeps into other types of journalism too like travel, fashion, businews, sports, food
