Megyn R. Kelly
Still wild to me that Megyn Kelly woke up yesterday, logged on, and did the "technically he's not a pedophile, he's an ephebophile" bit to the entire internet.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

Norway depended on closed source abandonware for educational statistics, and now they are pulling years of results that politicians used for creating educational policy.
Good thing they didn’t chose an ancient weird closed source product for their medical journal system that cost billions.
Oh wait.

In 2019, after Epstein was arrested, Trump told reporters he was “not a fan of his, that I can tell you.” Trump also said he hadn’t spoken to Epstein in 15 years, which would have been 2004.
But the just released emails prove they spent Thanksgiving together just TWO YEARS earlier. Donald's a liar.

Neutrality and objectivity are not the same thing and are, in fact, often contradictory goals. The objective truth is often not neutral in its political implications, and it would be a useless exercise if it was.
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

Det er viktig å huske at den nåværende beboer av Det Hvite Hus har en pågående kampanje mot (særlig store) mediehus. NRK inntar rollen som sensurinstans overfor sitt eget, tidligere publiserte innhold for å komme evnt. søksmål i forkjøpet. Dermed virker allerede strategien uten at et brev er sendt.

"Rent militært vil russisk kontroll i Ukraina frigjøre enorme russiske militærressurser som kan rettes mot nye områder. Det være seg Belarus, Moldova, Baltikum, Norden og Nordområdene."
Tror ikke alle tar inn over hvor kritisk situasjonen er, og hva en russisk seier vil kunne koste oss.

To scenarier for Ukraina - dette vil det koste Norge
I Ukraina kjempes det febrilsk mot en ny russisk offensiv. En rekke norske eksperter har regnet på hva det vil koste oss hvis Russland vinner krigen.

Trump: Take a look at this if you want to see detail. Most people do a sign and paint it on the wall. So that's half inch thick bronze. Carved. By a very talented person. And it's brass. It's pure brass.
