Desperata moderater i regeringen försökte göra inrikespolitik av Ceuta-händelsen. Ovärdigt, okunnigt, ogenomtänkt.

Man är ju EU-vän, men det är beklämmande att se angreppen från andra medlemsländer, inklusive vår egen usla regering, på Spanien, som uppenbarligen blivit utsatt för en provokation.

[Jan Eliasson @JanKEliasson]

Alltmer tydligt att ”migrantkrisen” kring Ceuta är en fabrikation. 48 av 50000 har återvänt till Marocko. Ceuta ingår f ö inte i Schengen.
Spaniens öppning mot Algeriet har retat upp Marocko. Spaniens syn på migration och Israel göder också manipulation av opinion.
Keep cool.

As a Greek, I was introduced to Homer almost as soon as I learned to read. His epics are among the first great works we encounter at school, and they remain a living part of our cultural consciousness.
Given that, I really don't care whether Christopher Nolan has remained completely faithful to Homer or has taken creative liberties.

What truly matters is that he has brought Homer back into the world's imagination. If his film encourages people to return to the Odyssey, discover the Iliad, or venture further into the treasures of classical literature, then it has already accomplished something extraordinary. Any work of art that sends people back to the source has, in my view, made a genuine contribution to culture.

När Tyskland och Frankrike säger nej till Palantir gör Sverige precis tvärtom.
Dagens ETC har fått tillgång till hemliga chattar som visar att Försvarsmakten tecknat ett nytt kontrakt med det kritiserade spionbolaget.

Jimmy Carr realized something big after years with his partner and no kids:

“Not having kids is like playing life on easy mode with a cheat code. You think you have skin in the game… but you don’t. Having kids is like your heart living outside your body. The stakes suddenly feel real.”

He says it’s made him more invested in the future, more aware of mortality, but also incredibly joyful.

“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” - Elizabeth Stone

Om Academedias huvudägare har rätt kommer bara en liten grupp kritiker retweeta den här tweeten.

”Rune Andersson säger att han har vant sig vid kritiken.

– Vår bedömning är att det här är en liten grupp kritiker som är väldigt fanatiska.” https://t.co/ZWwCKF1SG3

“I don't know [why we're here]. People sometimes say to me, ‘Why don’t you admit that the humming bird, the butterfly, the Bird of Paradise are proof of the wonderful things produced by Creation?’

And I always say, well, when you say that, you’ve also got to think of a little boy sitting on a river bank, like here, in West Africa, that’s got a little worm, a living organism, in his eye and boring through the eyeball and is slowly turning him blind. The Creator God that you believe in, presumably, also made that little worm. Now I personally find that difficult to accommodate…”

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

America is the richest country on Earth, right up until you measure anything that actually matters.

Its wealthiest citizens, the top one percent, still cannot reliably beat the average European at staying alive.

The swagger is real. Underneath it, the plumbing is third-world.

I went digging for the catch. The whole anatomy is behind the link.

[Marcus Larsson @Skolinkvisition]

”Skolkoncernen Academedia har infört ett nytt prestationsprogram för sina chefer, som till 90 procent styrs av ekonomiska mål kring bland annat aktiekurs och vinstutveckling. Inget av målen tar upp den pedagogiska kvaliteten på själva verksamheten.”

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

If there's a water shortage, don't subsidize showers. If there's a blackout, don't make AC cheaper. If there's an oil shortage, don't cut gas taxes. High prices are the signal telling us to conserve — blunting that signal makes the problem worse.
