💔 A mother sits beside the body of her son, killed in Kremenchuk. No mother should ever have to bury her child like that… This is russian terror

"You must not so calmly endure an injustice that does not touch you yourself." Arnulf Øverland's poem (in a rough translation) from 1936 - the signs were there to see if you wanted to. One of my favourite poems! Hope all is well Doc.

Many years ago a Norwegian judge acquitted a man for domestic abuse because it was a reasonable respons to a wife that was much more intelligent than him! I friend of mine made herself a badge saying: IQ 50 - Safe.

Wow what a shocker. That is $1.09 per litre. In Norway: $3.14 per litre in the UK is $2.3. you have by far the cheapest petrol of all the "developed" countries. Given you have elected TACO for president one could of course argue the US is not a developed country :D

Let A=1−1+1−1+ it is 1/2 Let B=1−2+3−4+ B- A = 1/4 Let S=1+2+3+4+…. Subtracting B from S yields: S−B=(1−1)+(2−(−2))+(3−3)+(4−(−4))+⋯=0+4+0+8+⋯=4(1+2+3+…)=4S Solving for S: S−1/4=4S⟹−1/4=3S⟹S=−1/12 QED Maths is even mor bizarre than infinity!

But infinity is strange! Imagine, the infinite sum of all natural numbers (1+2+3+4+....) is - (1/12) !!

From a Norwegian newspaper: "- The market is realizing that there is a lot of nonsense from Trump. Things that cannot be taken seriously or literally. It is wolf, wolf on speed. You can soon replace that expression with Trump, Trump, says Eirik Løkke, Civita advisor and US expert to Børsen." 😂

I have no words🤬🤬 This is what russia is doing to Kyiv. The moment of a direct strike on the Northern Bridge. Cars were driving across it at the exact moment of impact. There may be casualties. This is a bridge full of civilians.

Big news from Labour Conference: the PM has announced the government's plan to scrap first past the post. Seats that match votes would change British politics for good, but only if it happens. I've added my name. Join me? action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/201578/...

The PM used his big speech to promise to fix Westminster's broken voting system.
We've heard promises before. I've signed to make sure this one is kept. It takes 30 seconds

He IS making a lot of the right noises Burnham, and yes we HAVE won the argument, now we just need to win the implementation of the consequences of having won the argument! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I heard one thing loud and clear in Andy Burnham’s landmark speech: the left has won the arguments | Owen Jones
The PM’s stated trajectory is a rebuke to past Tory and Labour governments. The challenge now is to make his project progressive in word and deed, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

I do agree that UK pensions are insulting low. BUT what is proposed is NOT to take money away from pensjoners. I agree we should have a wealth tax, that billionaires are an insult, BUT what CAN be done and PASS? It is not the best possible solution, but it might be the best solution possible?
