Eftersom det diskuteras arkitektur ska jag dela min favoritbyggnad – fiskemyndigheten i indiska Hyderabad.

Wow. Det var en kort replik. Som forskare är man ju oftast mest intresserad av processerna bakom besluten. Den formella hållningen i en fråga går det oftast att läsa sig till.

En rak och tydlig fråga. Men kommer det något svar..? Kanske en standardformulering.

Skidliften på Högdalstoppen när det begav sig. Mannen i gult med ciggen är väldigt rätt i sammanhanget på något sätt.

Högdalstoppen, Stockholm. Spåren av skidbacken och rodelbanan är snart borta. Otippat 80-tals retro att Stockholm stad storsatsat på ny BMX-anläggning

Det här ser inte bra ut. Statssekreteraren har naturligtvis inte agerat på eget bevåg här.

DEAN: Do you know when this country actually had a trade surplus?

LUTNICK: About a hundred years ago

DEAN: It was during the Great Depression. That's a direction none of us wants to go.

🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

This danger of replacing expertise with loyalty applies to public administration in general.

Impressed the crack White House economic team not only found the Heard and McDonald Islands—an uninhabited Australian territory which is a two week sail from the mainland requiring a permit to visit—but that they managed to figure out the optimal retaliatory tariff to impose on penguins.

Loyalty is not the same as blind obedience. A loyal ministerial adviser will point out flaws and poorly informed decisions. Not just provide the answers leaders want to hear.

#DR2025 #Disinformation and #Polarization
Disinformation, polarization, & #autocratization often go hand in hand. The relationship between an increasing spread of disinformation, increasing polarization, & then autocratization can be shown over time within countries.

Ändå lite knasigt att den norska fuskskandalen på skid-VM handlar om sömnadsarbete. Och händelser i ett syrum.

It’s so bizarre that this needs to be said. Historians will have a hard time unpacking these developments, reading arguments about Fentanyl, migrants, Greenland, people eating dogs… and plans to annex Canada…
Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

If you look closely, you can see an America First bro in the doorway yelling, "why aren't you wearing a suit?" and "did you say thank you?"
This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
