47 seems infatuated with getting the Nobel Peace Prize. Realizing his fixations tend to fade fast, I still wish a journo would ask which former winners he admires.

The Guardian reports that «Robert F Kennedy Jr says health issue caused by dead worm in his brain». The paper knows that «says» is present tense, not normally used about a statement used 12 years ago. I dislike jr. and sloppy journalism.

I will miss Twitter, but will leave the platform due to Elon Musk's anti-semitic postings.

Reading J. Friedman's critique of @karen_stenner (2017) https://t.co/Bdf8VH3zdy Was there a response from Dr. Stenner?

@petersavodnik Accepting that a candidate may be impaired and that others may cover up, I still find the certitude weird and the cynicism of comments scary. Have you known people recovering well, but slowly, from a stroke?

«Afterward, one woman stood up to say, "I feel that she did a really good job finding excuses to defend the things she put on. None of us are that stupid.» I wonder. https://t.co/3tWnXvaLNv

Look at @YouTube protecting Russian propagandists. They've deleted 60 of my videos this morning. For those who preferred to watch and share my videos from there, sorry about that. Try to watch as soon as I post, because YouTube is likely to delete, to protect the Kremlin's image.

What happens when (if) authoritarians meet people of different ethnicity who share their core values? Do they get more racially tolerant? @karen_stenner might know

Ff så fælt det er å høre starten på den norske tvsendingen fra herrefinalen i US Open. Blir heldigvis litt bedre etter hvert.

Morer meg barnslig over at toppmann i kryptobransjen heter Sam Bankman-Fried. Han virker ellers OK

@Abbas1947Q So also Ukraine government/regime represented a mortal danger to its own citizens and neighbors?

@H_Grostad @oslopolitiops Er det sykkelfelt i Brugata? Sykler der ukentlig, men aldri lagt merke til.

Eurosport on today's biathlon:
«the Norway way is to make the mistakes early and come back. They do it time, and time, and time again. It was a classic Norwegian relay.»

@RichardDawkins Will read the Hitler bio, which I already picked up once at the library. Would be interesting to compare the Nazi leader to other dictators, my feeling is Stalin was no great thinker either. Nor Hoxha.

[Helge Øgrim @hogrim]

@RichardDawkins That's highly interesting (from such a qualified reader). I read a bit of Kershaw studying authoritarianism and fascism at uni last fall and was impressed with the clarity of his prose and analysis.
