“Sverige har för många personer som inte är en del av den etniska svenska befolkningen”

Nu säger SD öppet att de vill ...

Two thoughts:

1. Focusing on punishment over repair — hurting those causing the harm instead of helping those who are harmed — is a hallmark of carceral thinking.

2. Dividing people into pure vs. impure, upright vs. sinful, is a hallmark of reactionary religious fundamentalism.

If your reaction to Bandcamp going corporate is “How soon should I judge artists who remain there to be Bad People so I can start shaming them?,” well, just please notice the cultural origins of such a thought.

D.O.J. loses its first case! Former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn charged with vandalizing the reflecting pool is free of charges!

Hearn’s attorneys said, “Every American should be alarmed about this prosecution. It is not a crime to touch the Reflecting Pool.”

Seemingly every government story is awful, so I want you to pay some attention to elected officials who are actually trying to make government function.

Had to explain the owner of a bakery I once worked at. Couldn't remember the word "Francophile"

Japanese researchers linked Long COVID to a dormant herpes virus reactivated by SARS-CoV-2 infection. This process triggers production of the SITH-1 protein, which was identified in about 70% of patients. The SITH-1 protein may contribute directly to brain dysfunction, fatigue, and depression.

I once found a dead person sitting on a disabled hospital toilet. I really needed a piss though so I quickly pissed in the sink before I called for help. I'm sure they wouldn't have minded.

Between 2020 and 2023, Germany spent €860m subsidising the purchase of Teslas — a scheme that helped unlock Berlin's share of the EU's Covid recovery fund, according to internal documents obtained by EUobserver. Now, Elon Musk's Berlin gigafactory is also receiving more than €71m in state aid.

SD:s gruppledare i Stockholm, lite av en Einstein, drömmer sig tillbaka till när Sverige var som bäst och allt var tryggt, säkert och vackert, vilket råkar vara när han själv tultade runt i blöja.

The "termination shock" risk is particularly problematic because implementing Marine Cloud Brightening would be a huge logistical challenge (i.e. expensive) and it becomes less effective with time, so you get less "bang for your buck" with time, but if you ever decide to stop things revert to where they would be if you never implemented the regime to begin with.

So you wind up with it being an expensive recurring sunk cost that's less effective the longer it's used, but you're effectively "addicted" by the worry of termination shock.

Sounds a lot like a narcotic.

Japan's Hayabusa 2 was sent on a mission to collect samples from the asteroid Ryugu. Mission accomplished. But it's still in space, and there are plenty of asteroids left to visit, so the journey continues. Now, Hayabusa 2 is on its way to visit 1998 KY26, a near-Earth object only 11 meters in diameter, but on its way, it flew past the 450-meter-diameter object 98943 Torifune. This week we got the first close-up pictures, taken when Hayabusa 2 was only 800 meters away from its surface.

In a blistering 2-1 decision, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals torched Florida's "Individual Freedom Act," a law barring public university instructors from "endorsing" a list of 8 banned concepts about race, sex, and privilege, ruling it violates the 1st Amendment.

The ruling quotes Prof. David F. Cavers - "The Florida defendants cannot “put together half a donkey and half a camel, and then ride to victory on the synthetic hybrid.”"

In the war room at the White House at 3am a cloud of wild strawberry vape smoke hangs heavy over furrowed brows and blank stares as urgent questions are addressed. How do we gain vengeance? Shall we kidnap the President of Belgium? Or do we simply bomb its capital, Luxembourg?
