I’m going to call this a key moment in the history of post-post-neoliberalism. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Guys! The US now has an opportunity to shrink its budget deficit by putting a 100% tariff on itself for importing Russian oil.

Marilynne Robinson remains my pick

Det här tål i någon mån att begrundas även av svenska liberaler

Rätt till offentligt biträde för asylsökande. Rätt för asylsökande att arbeta. Sänkt inkomstkrav för familjeåterförening. Övergångsregler för medborgarskap. Det är fyra liberaliseringar/återställare av migrationspolitiken som nya riksdagsmajoriteten kan göra snabbt och enkelt. Och gå vidare sedan.

In any case, the Spanish election will make an MFF compromise in 2026 much more difficult. Sánchez will hardly accept an agreement on the Frugals' terms during his electoral campaign. And the Frugals might be inclined to insist, hoping for a more like-minded Spanish government after the election.

🚨🚨Under-reported but strikingly radical #enlargement proposal from the @ec.europa.eu where the EU would offer unprecedented "gradual integration" into the EU SM and access to research programs for candidate countries, while their applications are being worked on. www.politico.eu/article/ursu...

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

Standard discourse on social media regarding a land value tax's incidence:

we could solve the western water crisis overnight by simply charging alfalfa farmers market rates for water

One of humanity's greatest heroes

Arches need snipers to protect them from their arch-enemies.

Watching to see whether American politicians outside the Trump admin heard Carney’s main message— American bullying is driving Canada to a strategic pivot to Europe— and how they respond. Will they rally around Trump or denounce his Canadian policy as counterproductive to US national interests.

Ursula von der Leyen om Europas ”Summer of truth” - bränderna, värmeböljorna, de förlorade skördarna, de uttorkade floderna inga mältt ty ande glaciärerna, de många värmerelaterade dödsfallen.. ”Europa kan, måste och ska stå fast vid sina klimatmål”

One of Trump's few actual skills is sniffing out the weakness and greed in other people and exploiting it. Insisting on (illegally) putting his signature on COVID checks was a stroke of evil genius.

Valvakan 2018 haltade jag fram på en stukad fot. Valvakan 2022 haltade jag fram på en sprucken tå. Annars är det mesta sig likt. 2018 | 2026 S: 28.3 | 28.1 M: 19.8 | 19.9 SD: 17.5 | 17.6 V: 8.0 | 8.2 C: 8.6 | 7.1 KD: 6.3 | 6.2 MP: 4.4 | 6.1 L 5.5 | 5.4

Read Theory.

Vad sjukt det hade varit om Sverigedemokraterna också hade börjat utesluta sina antisemiter när de avslöjas i medierna, som den där ”afghan” på Flashback, som ännu efter alla år är en lokal SD-topp, till och med på valbar plats, oj, jag menar etta på sin kommunvalsedel i valet på söndag.

”Vi ska inte tillbaka till 2015” i vår bok.

För att besegra extremhögern krävs ett politiskt samtal som inte sker på deras villkor. C står långt från V i många frågor, men är den del av borgerligheten som vägrat anpassa sig till radikalhögerns världsbild. I denna tid är det avgörande. @jonassjostedt.bsky.social www.dn.se/kultur/jonas...

and this incident isn't even one that would have required alignment-theoretic thought to predict. if they were as careless w/ security in general as they were w/ their agent sandboxing their model weights would have been leaked by now

Deportee reception/incarceration as a tradeable service is the globalization of deglobalization.

I will say that I don't want ICE detaining anyone. But there is no power on earth that prevent me from feeling schadenfreude about this.

Threads is inherently Georgist.

Trump is in the caaaaaaart! Trump is in the CAAAAAAART!

Excluding one case of double-bunked incumbents, 159 House Dems have been through their primaries to date and 5 lost (there are 11 states still to vote). That's a renomination rate of 96.9%. The post-WWII average for House is 98.3%. This is what gets much ballyhooed as a "bloodbath" in our system.

US university hires world-renowned Israeli genocide expert to lead Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and then fires him when he says that Israel is committing genocide.

Om vem som helst annars hade kallat S-ledaren för Quisling hade jag avfärdat det direkt. Men just Jomshof känner ju nazismen så intimt?

Interesting, though unsurprising

Tidö pratar om 2015 som något förskräckligt. Men de gör det utan att precisera. Eftersom konkretion skulle få deras retoriska figur att kollapsa. Och följdfrågor från journalister saknas som vanligt. Ingen synar bluffen. Vi avhandlar det här i vår bok.

The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media (via St. Louis Public Radio).

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Remarkable camera angle of President Trump as he listens to Wall Street Journal reporters receiving an award for their investigation into Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — which they pursued despite Trump’s threats and lawsuit.

At the Copa America there's a golden shithouse award.

Paredes. What a joke

I mean, sure

Bunch of pre-recorded vocals and missed camera spots. I trust Jennifer Hudson will make up for it with her national anthem

That one, on the other hand, probably shouldn’t stand

What a goal! Don’t let VAR rob him
