Nån i Malmö som vill se K Svenssons En modern gentleman ikväll på Moriskan? Har två biljetter men är dunderförkyld. Bortskänkes.
JA! '(...) det forskningspolitiska målet att svensk forskning ska hålla ”internationell världsklass”. Naturligtvis ska vi göra så bra forskning vi kan, men varför skulle det vara dåligt för Sverige att det går bättre för Belgien, eller att Norge publicerar fler artiklar per akademisk capita?"
This New Yorker piece about the Irish Famine has several paragraphs I found literally jaw-dropping (positive). This is a book review!! Good god!!!

Ja det vore fint. Blir på riktigt ledsen varje gång "debatten" dras igång igen eftersom den är så cynisk, samtidigt som min personliga upplevelse av moderssmålsundervisning eller hemspråk som det hette då var så positiv och utvecklande och viktig för mig, fr förskolan 1989 till studenten 2002.

Hug all the people in your life who are looking around at our political media world and thinking “what is the point of anything that I’m doing?”
✔️ Money to the Trump inaugural
✔️ Dinner at Mar-a-Lago
✔️ Getting rid of fact-checking
✔️ Putting UFC's Dana White (a key Trump ally) on Meta's board
Hard not to see these moves as an effort to avoid being politically targeted by an illiberal president.
