SpaceX has already ruined bird nesting habitat in Texas. Now it wants to ruin more habitat in a protected Hawaiian marine sanctuary, the only home to millions of baby birds. Please spread the word and sign the petition stop them.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Dette! Riktignok er Squeezebox-systemet mitt antikt, men det funker som fjell. Og kan spille podkaster via plugin. Men ikke NRKs, selvsagt.

English version of my review of Bratlies book:

A book filled with contradictions, cherry-picking of data, conspiratorial arguments, and serious accusations that undermine trust in research and contribute to making the world less safe in the face of the next pandemic.

Sangtittelen er misforstått - David Byrne var egentlig bare fryktelig misfornøyd med urmakeren som ødela klokka hans. Seiko Killer.

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport”

By Ruben Bolling

Genius. Click in.

A cartoon showing various activity at an airport, including an extorted luxury jet, an exploding X rocket, a ketamine enthusiast wheeling a barrow of money to his plane, many ICE officers -- some taking people to an El Salvador plane, another with a zip-tied child being blocked by a federal judge -- scientists boarding a plane to Europe, a medical self-educator covered with pox, and more. All the people are represented by various animals. The story is made in the style of a Richard Starry children's book. Alt text borrowed from Mastodon..

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social - I take it this twitter account isn't you, but the impersonator has gone to some length to make it seem so.

Liz Cheney: “Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk have made clear who they are. Only fools—or Kremlin tools—would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.”

REPOST if you stand with Cheney against Donald Trump!

@angrystaffer.bsky.social

The Oval Office has long been a symbol of American leadership, diplomacy, and decorum—a space where world leaders engage in high-stakes discussions with mutual respect, even amid disagreement. Yesterday’s debacle shattered that image.

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

"Kjære Jonas Gahr Støre. Vi, to sjefredaktører fra Sverige og Danmark, må få lov til å spørre deg:

Hvordan har du – og den norske regjeringen – endt opp med å la deres humanistiske stormakt synke ned i nasjonalegoistiske interesser?" www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...

Hallo, Norge! Når skal dere våkne?

Norges manglende støtte til Ukraina er forkastelig og patetisk, skriver redaktører i Sverige og Danmark.

«Som tidligere høyrepopulistisk blogger kjenner jeg igjen pekefingerviftingen, det konspiratoriske synet på europeisk politikk og bruken av ordet «ytringsfrihet» som trojansk hest for hat mot minoriteter.
Det nye er at det blir sagt av en amerikansk visepresident» www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...
