This made for a shocking watch... I'm speechless. Insults after insults, stroking his own ego, "Obama gave you sheets, I gave you javelins", "You did not once say thank you", "You're losing". youtu.be/MEv9WLPoa3I?...

The Trump administration terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world. “People will die,” said Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi of the African Population and Health Research Center, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”

Every opinion piece in the Washington Post must now follow Bezos' new rightwing guidelines. Writers can say that they would have written the same thing anyway, but the fact remains: Their piece was only published because it met his new rightwing guidelines. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

The Trump admin is causing chaos in transport research. Studies have been canceled, datasets have vanished, and experts have been fired. The Nat'l Academies’ Transportation Research Board has caved to Trump’s demands for censorship, triggering upheaval. Its future is in doubt. From me (w/scoops) 🧵

Kall meg irrasjonell, men jeg blir faktisk fly forbanna når Sylvi Listhaug sier "politikere skal føle seg trygge i det offentlige rom". Det var hennes parti, hennes politikere og hun selv som egget fram voldsomme hat-kampanjer mot MDG og spesielt Lan Marie Berg høsten 2015 og årene etter.

#UK: While MSF does not receive UK Government funding, we are deeply concerned about the far-reaching impact of repeated and sustained aid reductions. Countries affected by conflict, natural disasters, and disease outbreaks where we operate will suffer immensely.

When I hear men worshipping guns and talking about how there’s nothing that will stop them from defending their family, my mind goes to Naaman in the Bible. Do you remember Naaman? He was a great military leader, and he also had leprosy. 1/

The last time I had full access to #Wired was when I had a boyfriend from the US - but their current investigative reporting now makes it more than worth it to subscribe. A full year is only US$10!!

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Advarsel: A-Magasinet inneholder denne uken en sak om lastebilsjåføren som drepte en syklist på St. Hanshaugen i April 2022. Jeg ble uvel av ansvarsfraskrivelsene. Tenker dette var den viktigste biten å lese:

I can't stop thinking about the group of ASL interpreters from across the country who were flown in to DC last weekend to interpret Inauguration events, only to have their contracts canceled at the last minute.

Astonishingly, BBC News have somehow managed to make the passive car voice so extreme in this piece, it almost suggests the vehicle was the victim, and not the two children who are now in a serious condition in hospital www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Second time in my life my birthday is tainted by a Trump inauguration. Not important in the grand scheme of things, but kind of pissed about it anyway!

Journalister i Oslo kunne med hell fulgt en syklist, en fotgjenger, en rullestolbruker og en barnevogn-triller en dag på vinteren etter ett snøfall. Både kort tid etter, og noen uker etter.

Hjelpes! Takk til biologene som tør å stå fram! Nok en forferdelig sak om hvordan rik skog ødelegges før den er kartlagt. Naturdata må komme fram tidlig i prosessen, feltundersøkelser må være grundige og uavhengige. «Klargjøring» av tomter uten kartlegging må straffes.

“Shrinking” mass transit – replacing buses and trains with pods or shuttles – is a fool’s errand. Small transit vehicles offer no economies of scale, leading them to require massive subsidies. It’s a problem that cripples gondolas, the Vegas Loop, and microtransit alike. Me, in CityLab

Last night in the Netherlands: Boy (14) dies, another boy (13) loses hand, dozens need eye surgery, more fine particles emitted than all road vehicles do in a year, €118 million blown up instead of put to use, millions of pets in fear, wildlife disturbed. Private fireworks: great tradition.
