Could you explain something for me? The graph Krugman showed doesn't show remotely show data centers cancelling out the fall in other spending, it's less than half, so how does it support the crowding out theory? Ofc your not in a recession, so its more complicated in some way

Eric Idle faved this arguably rather tonedeaf but well meant comment on one of his post. All the 30k journalist accounts that are always complaining about their mentions could learn from his example imo

The church in the small town next to mine (Ösmo) is famous for its medieval wall paintings so I went and had a look

This is genuinely the craziest thing I have ever read. The person responsible for every Jewish burial in Sweden is far right (OK, whatever), and also unapologetically friends with an actual nazi, and the congregation hasn't fired her

I'm losing my mind lol. This guy is mr conservative wonk. He was Mitt Romney's economic policy guru for years. He's the *chief economist* of a leading think tank. He's Ezra Klein's favorite republican. He was just on the Daily Show explaining tariffs to Jon Stewart!!

r/PrivatEkonomi

I have SEK 600 left
The credit limit on the card is met and I have SEK 600 left in the bank account. I hope the salary comes in before Christmas. How will I cope?

Just a small question, how much energy drink do you drink a month and how much do you smoke/snuff?

Zero and nothing. However, I eat dried fruit for a few thousand a month.

This is nuts (from @attackerman.bsky.social's newsletter)
THE WASHINGTON POST IS SEEKING A "LEAD INDUSTRY ANALYST, NATIONAL SECURITY." This doesn't seem to me to be a newsroom position – not least of which because it pays between $170,000 and $320,000 to produce no journalism. Instead it looks like it advises Jeff Bezos on how to profit from the U.S. defense sector: 

    This individual will be responsible for shaping and delivering insightful analysis to C-Suite executives, thought leaders and policy influencers via roundtable discussions, written briefs, and comprehensive reports. As an industry thought leader, the Lead Analyst will guide conversations and inform decision-making at the highest levels, while contributing to overall product strategy.

There's so much corruption in U.S. journalism that I wonder if people will even look at this twice. On the other hand, I fit the criteria… [Please subscribe. I need this job.—Sam.]

She's shy with dogs too, but got along with Vilda the one time they met. (Vilda is my parents dog that I've helped raise, and a real sweetheart)

My neighbor owns a cafe where she brings Pepsi, a rescue from Donetsk. She mewl-growls at anyone who comes near, and flees from men in fatigues. She lets her favorite people pet her but keeps up a scared growl even then. Today she briefly went up to me and licked my hand, still growling

the bluesky creed
newskies, som notes
- renounce the theft and robbery of the cow
- reject the authority of the Daevas, the wicked, no-good, lawless, evil-knowing, the most druj-like of beings, the foulest of beings, the most damaging of beings.
-  pledge yourself to the well-thought thought, to the well-spoken word, to the well-done action.
- As the belief of the waters, the belief of the plants, the belief of the well-made (Original) Cow; as the belief of Ahura Mazda who created the cow and the Asha-owning Man; as the belief of Zarathushtra, the belief of Kavi Vishtaspa, the belief of both Frashaostra and Jamaspa; as the belief of each of the Saoshyants (saviors) -- fulfilling destiny and Asha-owning -- so I am a Bluesky poster

This is the most amazing thing I've come across in a while., humanity at its best. They're still hugely important in parts of the country, they have weddings and celebrations in them too and preserve ancient documents and books

If you take every worker in arts, entertainment and recreation + information + "other" you get around 8%.

I wish policy debates were always this honest. She's entirely correct on the facts and was being very pedagogical and clear!
Karen Ward wanted the Bank of England to "create a recession". She said if employees were worried for their job, they wouldn't ask for a pay rise.

Here's Nosey Harlow and his mother Jean
Jean Harlow (old hollywood star) holds Nosey in her arms and smiles at him. Nosey is a dachshund puppy. I don't know if they're male, but all dogs are boys right?

Vilda is my parents dog, but I've taken care of her a great deal and love her to bits. She's an emo princess with bangs. Hard to get pics of her where you see her eyes because of the bangs. Here's my favorite, Vilda content after having defeated her feared enemy the floor brush
