Mine betraktninger her (om verdensorden som bryter sammen) er selvsagt ganske naive.

For store deler av verdens befolkning har denne verdensorden vært en illusjon i hele mitt liv (og jeg er 82).

Vi vestlige, med hvite fjes, har bare ikke opplevd bombene over verden, slik mye av verden ellers har.

Det postive med 3. januar 2026 er at det er mulig å følge Dagsrevyen online på en togreise tvers over Danmark, ved hjelp av telefonen som router.

Det deprimerende med 3. januar 2026 er at NRKs utenriksredaktør, Falkenberg Mikkelsen, når han blir spurt hvilke ord han vil bruke om kidnappingen

Falkenberg Mikkelsen, i Dagsrevyen, om kidnappingen av Maduro.

Jeg forstår ikke den overdrevne objektiviteten som ender med å ikke være objektiv når man helt og holdent kan skrive "ER brudd på folkeretten, ifølge FN". Det er ikke en mening, det ER et brudd. Og man har likevel dekket saken objektivt når man skriver det. Jeg blir helt paff av journalistikken

Heat map-style graphic showing monthly air temperature rankings in the Arctic at the 925 hPa level for each month from January 1979 to December 2025. There is a long-term warming trend evident in each month. Blue shading is shown for colder months, and red shading is shown for warmer months. A yellow number is shown for each grid box to display the actual temperature ranking. December 2025 was the 11th warmest December on record.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Det finns NOLL försvar för det USA:s president nu gör – och etablerar som en ordning av total global laglöshet och skräck. Alla som förstått det som legitimt och viktigt för folk och statsledare att enas i fördömanden och mer mot Hitlers expansionism, borde se att vår tid kräver en liknande rörelse.

Israel vs football - ordering the demolition of our football pitch in Bethlehem, the only place we feel free, where we play, belong – even with the separation wall looming. FIFA and UEFA can stop this, but only if the world is watching. Bulldozers could come any day secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...
Don’t bulldoze our pitch
URGENT: Children in Bethlehem are about to lose the only place where they can play and feel safe. Help them reach FIFA before Israel destroys their pitch. Sign and share.

Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI

Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism.

Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

Barry Malone @malonebarry Not only did Israel systematically hunt down and kill almost every journalist in Gaza, they murdered more than 700 of their family members also. This slaughter went on while many of the world's most prominent journalists stayed quiet. It is an eternal stain on our profession.

Universal basic income is nothing less than a goddamn human right just as much as universal healthcare and education are. And I don't care if anyone works less because we should be working less. We should have shorter weeks instead of bullshit jobs. We have the productive capacity to meet ALL NEEDS.

People keep mistaking genuine horror for politicking.

The people who supported the DOJ under Biden/Trump condone child rape. They defended officials who protected child rapists.

Other people saw this as a clear moral horror and condemned the DOJ. That's the actual divide. It's not between parties.

“Like Prime, but with human beings.”
“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said at a border security conference in April, according to the Arizona Mirror. The administration’s goal, he said, was to deport immigrants as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.”

Most of the #Arctic is experiencing warming temperatures over the last four decades in December. This is even larger over areas with a loss of sea ice cover, such as the Barents-Kara Seas region.
