Gratulerer til @iharsten.bsky.social ! For anledningen, mitt favoritt dikt-relatert-til-tog:
Travel The railroad track is miles away, And the day is loud with voices speaking, Yet there isn't a train goes by all day But I hear its whistle shrieking. All night there isn't a train goes by, Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming, But I see its cinders red on the sky, And hear its engine steaming. My heart is warm with friends I make, And better friends I'll not be knowing; Yet there isn't a train I'd rather take, No matter where it's going. Edna St Vincent Millay

Kjempeblaff med nordlys akkurat når jeg gikk ut døra hos broren min. Flaks!

Consider how we make laws. It’s bizarre. Most government policies remain based on hunches, what lawmakers say will work, rather than by testing various options to verify what works best. No experiments done, no evidence required.2 We then vote for one conception of reality filtered through ideology, without much reference to evidence. Whoever wins gets a shot to play with people’s lives for four or five years, and then we do it all over again.

Dette hadde vært en lur måte å svare på:
Blueskypost fra Daniel Abraham: "If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net"

Flight path of a P-8 Poseidon today, over the Baltic Sea. I guess they found something?

The most important conclusion of the analysis is the least surprising. Populism is often triggered by bad economies, but then makes what is already bad still worse. This is true of both the left- and rightwing varieties. The former attacks economic elites; the latter assails foreigners, minorities and the political elites who protect them. Both are damaging to economies, although the leftwing variety is more economically damaging than the rightwing one. Fifteen years afterwards, real GDP per head in countries that succumbed to leftwing populism is around 15 per cent lower than it would otherwise have been; under rightwing populism, the equivalent loss is some 10 per cent.

Skikkelig fint på hyttetur!
