Seeing a clip from the Ein Þæling podcast (for locals into "veljum Íslenskt Joe Rogan" feel) where "Educationalist" Kristín Kolbrún confidently states that fathers who use paternity leave "have lower testosterone" that those who work.
Guess which party she wants to run with at the next election?

Was walking by a small protest of people from the Iranian community in Iceland at the prime minister's office yesterday afternoon. What did take notice was that i saw 4 posters/placards with pictures of the former Shah of Iran.

it's chilling the way you *know* some heinous stuff is happening in those camps.
I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.
Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
