Which of Plato's books is this from? Interesting read.

Thank you for reminding me of the existence of this delightful human being.

A concerning takeaway for me here is that a lot of people apparently interpreted this guy to be the "worst person" in question in the headline instead of the face of someone crushed by the fact that the worst person he knew had made a great point. How heartbreaking.

Dette skjedde med oss og årsmøtet våres i helg. Veldig leit å oppleve:( men vi trøster oss av at det faktisk har vært en enorm sjukdomsbølge i hele landet nå på nyåret.

Virker som om kråkene/skjærene har trukket seg til innlandet (indre finnmark). Mangler ikke kjøttmeis her heller.

Oh yup, there's definitely a correlation between those things and low-effort slop.

That is indeed not true because it was Seneca who said that.

This is more of a problem with the directing of the ad rather than an AI issue. CGI animals aren't supposed realistic in the first place, so this this would probably happen anyway even if they did produce the CGI animation authentically without AI.

Can't believe 5 million people had to die because of brexit 💔 💔

And just to be clear, yes there are still plenty of valid reasons to fire up a wood stove. Especially if you have an old house with poor insulation or if electricity prices are disproportionally high for heating applications, both of which are common situations for Norwegian students.

As someone from the high north, it's absurd to see these pictures of modern houses sitting in fields of green grass with pipes emitting smoke. We rarely light up a fire in our wood stove unless the temperatures dip below -25°C. Otherwise our AC/panel ovens do a fine job of keeping it warm and comfy.

Når skjedde dette sist??

Really? Ducks are the most common livestock in northern sweden/finland?? This map is obviously just some made up junk but what strikes me is how intricately constructed the fake data is. The longer you look the worse it gets. Don't even bother looking up the source because that's also made up.

Good to see you popping by, even if was just for a moment. We need you Tanner!

Marcus Aurelius didn't say this. This is too often misattributed to him.

Trump reportedly called Norwegian minister ‘out of the blue’ to ask about Nobel prize US president told Norway’s finance minister he wants the Nobel peace prize, according to the Norwegian press

I wish he was joking...

I got back in the office from my summer vacation yesterday and spent the day catching up with emails. Alec had sent me a nice greeting after a conference. I replied without knowing he was travelling in Norway, let alone reported missing! I really hope he is okay :(

Er ærlig talt forbauset over hvor gode og holdbare earbudsan deres er, selv til tross hyppig og røff bruk. Har hatt Jabra Elite 7 i over 3 år med nesten daglig bruk og dem fungerer fortsatt helt fint. Leit å høre at det selskapet går under

someone is definitely going to repost this as a screenshot with the caption "are climate activists okay??" with the joke flying over their heads much like your corpse in a few decades

Ollu lihkku ja suohttasiid!

Seems like the petition is well on its way to make it given the current pace of signatures. I'm not even an EU citizen but I'm still super stoked that this one may actually go through

The petition says that it only needs to meet the minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries in addition to the requirement of 1 mill signatures. Currently 8 countries are fulfilling that requirement. But yeah, would still be nice to get other countries above their threshold.

I'm not too familiar on how these EU citizens' petition usually turn out but I feel like french people deserve an award for making up over HALF the signatures from their country

Moreover, and perhaps more importantly, all collected data in the petition is subject to GDPR: "Likewise, the initiative organisers and the Member Statesʼ authorities are subject to the rules regarding the processing of personal data set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPRʼ)."

European Citizens' Initiative Give your support !

EU citizens, please take 30 seconds to sign the European Citizens' Initiative to ban conversion therapy (torture against LGBTQ+ people).

Only 1 day left to meet the criteria of 1 million signatures.

I really enjoyed this lecture by Jeroen. Some much needed perspectives in the geoengineering discourse as it stands right now. I'm also pretty intrigued by the book but the price tag is too much at the moment. Hopefully I'll find it marked down at some point.

Hadde gjerne lånt deg min kopi men det tar nok en stund å komme frem til Oslo fra Finnmark.. Kanskje @mbergnordlie.bsky.social har enda et par kopier liggandes?
