Jag känner igen min skola i Kent Wernes och ser med förskräckelse på framväxten av en skola som återigen cementerar klassamhället (och med det klasshatet). Med den nyliberala kontrarevolutionen backar Sverige från framtiden till en repris på 1800-talet. www.etc.se/inrikes/det-...

Commercials is an interesting genre. Often dumb or boring, sure, but the best of them are so far-fetched and crazy that you completely forget about the product. Anti-commercial commercials? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/a...

Den svenska chockdoktrinen: mer övervakning, kontroll, hårdare straff mm. Inga reflektioner, inga förslag om orsakerna eller hur man ska hindra liknande dåd. I stället krattar man manegen för ett mer auktoritärt samhälle byggt på misstro, rädsla och hat. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/Gy...

40 år av ideologisk kräftgång för ett parti som blivit fossiliserat till höger i politiken. Hoppades ett tag på Reformisterna, men de har marginaliserats till en diskussionsklubb. Dags för ett nytt, rödgrönt arbetarparti. arbetet.se/2024/10/18/b...
