As moving as it is to hear Russian POWs call their parents, apologise etc. I am begging everybody to stop spreading photos of POWs. You don’t *know* that there’s no coercion and the best way to make sure there’s less coercion of POWs in the world is to not spread this stuff.

@Eli_Albrecht The best part of this is the typo.

This guy is an absolute hero. This type of behavior needs to be normalized.

Since "The Population Bomb" came out so long ago, most folks haven't actually read it. (Denver Public Library didn't even have a copy; I had to request it through a university!) One of the best ways to reject its lasting influence, then, may be having people actually sit with how gross and radical Ehrlich's words and 'solutions' were.

35 years after throwing off the yoke of Communism, Poland becomes the world's 20th largest economy.

The warmth of capitalism is lifting an entire nation out of poverty.

So much yimby stuff is like

“I’m a leftist about things I don’t know much about, but I know a lot about housing, so I believe in free-market deregulation. I will not contemplate this further.”

The strategic importance of Dubai cannot be underestimated…

It’s a concentrated holding pen for 98% of the world’s fucking idiots.

The defense of shoplifting from the left has roots in the idea that 'the personal is political'

The artsy people who think it's fine to steal from Whole Foods are envious losers, downwardly mobile types who think they're owed something by society.

They can't grapple honestly with their own lack of success, or how they perceive themselves. So they tell themselves a fairy tale about how it's actually fine to steal, mumbling incoherently about Big Business or Life Under Late Stage Capitalism or whatever pre-defined phrase hits their ego in the right place.

They don't have the finances to buy what they want. But they're entitled to that fancy hand cream, life owes them that neatly pre-packaged sushi roll! And so it's fine if they steal it, because, you know, Bezos is, umm, killing the planet. Yeah!

They try to make their personal grievances into a political issue to justify their lack of morals.

I'd rather spend an entire year binge-watching the first 6 hours of Milano-Sanremo, on repeat, than watch an AI-generated TV show or movie.

@TomTomKrus @DanJoergensen Selvom det er tilfredsstillende, er det sjældent en rigtig god idé at udskamme folk, for at have skiftet holdning til den holdning, man hele tiden har ønsket sig, at de havde.

Med den midlertidige nedsættelse af elafgiften og aftalen om en fødevarecheck er Arne-pensionens frontfigur Arne Juhl nu tilbage i S-folden. I december såede han ellers tvivl om sin støtte til partiet.

☝️It has been one year since the January 2025 suspension of USAID. In our new paper (with Annabelle Tan and @ashaniamar), we treat this suspension as a natural experiment and examine how foreign aid withdrawal affects conflict dynamics. A thread:

This.

In Sweden politicians are debating the catastrophically high unemployment rate (about 8ish percent), while Denmark is patting its back for the low (3-4ish).

The employment rate is all that matters.

@baltadydensborg Jeg tror, at en analyse, der når det resultat, at den danske højesteret enten “tør” eller “ikke tør” noget, nok er en forkert analyse af, hvad der motiverer den danske højesteret.

Political Triumvirates as successors to a single, charismatic, powerhouse leader - a historically very successful, great idea.
