A new study based on Finnish registry data claims to show that gender-affirming treatment for transgender adolescents resulted in poorer mental health. However, the study was not designed to address this issue, and based on the reported data, it is impossible to draw conclusions.
Vil du høre på meg snakke om Oljefondets penger i Israels okkupasjons- og folkemord-økonomi?
The norwegian sovereign (oil) wealth fund, owning 3% ($2.7 billion) of the shares in BP PLC, agrees with the BP management and intends to vote against the (only) shareholder resolution (and against its own climate action plan) that asks BP to have a plan for surviving the energy transition.

Vi holder på å skrive et letter of concern til tidsskriftet nå. Som forresten er samme svenske tidsskrift som i denne saken ⬇️
Hovedforfatteren av den finske studien er en av to internasjonale samarbeidspartnere i den ulovlige forskningen på OUS.
If you haven't been paying attention to niche national security law, you should now. This surveillance program collects communications from all over the globe--and when folks talk to people in the US, the US side of the convo is stored and the FBI can sift through it without a warrant.

Utterly shameful. #Norway 's state telecoms firm helped the #Myanmar junta to track down and arrest anti-government activists.

If police charge someone with a serious crime today, in some parts of England that case might not come to trial until the autumn of 2030!
This is obviously a scandal government should fix, but it shows the limitations of relying on deterrence to prevent crime. The CJS just isn’t built to do that.
The Gap of Good Intentions: What Two Decades of Fieldwork Taught Me About Race, Power, and the American Church Over twenty years of fieldwork across American congregations keeps me returning to a familiar pattern: the gap between what churches say and what they organizationally do. American Blindspot: Race, Religion, Power GERARDOMARTI.SUBSTACK.COM
Another effort to trace a pattern of thinking visible across a body of scholarship so far:
