Jaja, tjuetjueseks, fair enough, får gi det et forsøk.
Hilste på Peter Mandelson på en tilstelning en gang, han var vennlig nok, men da jeg presenterte meg som redaktør for Open Democracy rynka han på nesa og rygget litt, tror ikke han kjente til oss, men at han opplevde ordene i seg selv som litt ubehagelige.

Vi stanger i byråkrati, men er mer optimistisk enn innledning i denne saken er.

Håper regjeringen klarer si ja til Ukrainas forespørsel — behovet er stort, og det som trengs utgjør 0,01% av de årlige Nansenmidlene.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Gode muligheter for at neste års fredspris kan bli Trump-relatert, men neppe helt sånn han ser det for seg.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

Scotland and Irland has underutilised leverage against Trump — tell him his golf resorts will be gone immediately if he takes Greenland, and he might actually reconsider.

We live in the stupidest of times, might need to embrace that.

Jeg er tilhenger av ytringsfrihet, og mener derfor dette skal være lov å si. Men det bør føre til full sosial utfrysning i 2-5 år, av velgere, kolleger, venner og familie.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

When Jamal Khashoggi was killed , all the TV networks were chasing me down to have me on to talk about Trump, Mohammed Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia and the murder.

Now that MBS is back in town and being wined and dined by Trump, Musk, Bezos and other tech billionaires?

I have not had one TV invite.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Honored to have this conversation with @petergeoghegan.bsky.social - Britain’s most effective journalist on covering dark money, concentration of power and corruption…answer to ‘how fucked are we?’ was something along the lines of ‘more than we should be’

Takk til Norsk Journalistlag for støtten!

Håper Kulturdepartementet er enig i at når ukrainerne selv mener det er dette de trenger, da må vi stille opp for dem.

Er offisielt «skuffet» i Dagbladet.

Vi jobber med Kyiv for å få laget TV sammen, for å styrke den kognitive motstandskraften i et land i krig med verdens mest aktive desinformatør.

Håper regjeringa ser at dette er verdt å gjøre, og før heller enn seinere.
