”Han visade upp en polisbricka”
En person kom och ville prata med ordförande gällande varför en person med hijab fick jobba som röstmottagare då han menade att det inte är tillåtet enligt vallagen.
Han visade upp en polisbricka och sa att han skulle gå vidare med detta.

Continuing its voyage into uncharted waters, the latest preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.08°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. Models expect the Nino 3.4 anomaly to continue rising into at least mid-November. Then there will be dragons.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Med *samma* skattenivå som 2000-talets början (en tid många minns) så hade det varit drygt 500 miljarder kronor mer *per år* till offentlig välfärd. Det är som att statistik från verkligheten inte finns när ekonomisk politik debatteras.

The good thing about a subscriber-driven outlet is that we don't have to do a million pieces on GTA 6. Of course we're gonna cover it and we MIGHT even have quite a bit to say about it, but it won't be the only thing you see on Second Wind in November. Google doesn't dictate our work.

Det är faktiskt svårt att ta till sig detta. Israel har använt sig av termobariska vapen, som exploderar med sådan hetta att offren helt och hållet förintas. Civilförsvarsteam i Gaza har dokumenterat 2 842 palestinier som utplånats på detta sätt. De ansvariga måste ställas inför rätta.

​A screenshot of a post on X by Elon Musk (@elonmusk), featuring a blue verification checkmark and an official X badge. The text of the post reads:
​"The obvious reality is that giving rage-inducing hormones to mentally unstable people will cause a major increase in murder.
​Statistically, trans and trans-driven (eg Charlie Kirk's killer) homicide rates are more than triple that of the general population."

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.
