New gig alert 🚨 Finished at Karolinska University Hospital yesterday and started at Karolinska Institute today where I will be doing research on remote healthcare. But that's just part time (20%). Need something else as well. Holler if you know anyone needing a seasoned researcher 👵

For the NYT I wrote about Ed Sheeran, the fantasy of political neutrality and the politics of self-interest www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/o...

Celebrities use the facade of neutrality as shelter, as a place to take refuge.

Eru einhverjir Íslendingar hér með ungling í menntaskóla á Kungsholmen í Stokkhólmi, t.d. Anna Whitlock? Við erum að sækja um íslensku fyrir soninn og það væri nú flott ef við værum fleiri sem gerðum það, því annars segir Språkcentralen bara "Nej".

Första gången jag ser att de där hemska Mathemkartongerna kan vara användbara… #Klimat #Demonstration #Klimatdemonstrationen

Flera personer står och väntar på att den stora klimatdemonstrationen ska köra i gång. En av dessa personer håller uppe en skylt som er gjord av en karton från Mathem.

“Att i det här läget se svenska myndigheter skriva nya avtal med Palantir medan kommunpampar skryter om att sälja offentlig mark till Google och Meta är ett rent självskadebeteende, både säkerhetspolitiskt och ekonomiskt, inte bara för Sverige utan för hela Europa.” www.dn.se/kultur/marti...

Martin Gelin: Det vi ser är början på en global backlash mot AI-företagen

AI riskerar att skapa en massiv global underklass. Det vore naivt att tro att Silicon Valley själva kommer dra i bromsen, skriver Martin Gelin.

Always great to be welcomed properly at Keflavík Airport.

A sign at Keflavík Airport. In English it says “Good to see you”. In Icelandic it says “Good to have you home”.

Today across the world , Nelson Mandela is a hero exalted as a legend. But to the people of South Africa who he liberated, he was Madiba, a leader who fought against the tides for justice. To honor Madiba’s legacy is to fight injustice before history rewrites itself. youtu.be/I39uc0PRhCY

The literature on harms to kids from online platforms is complex and nuanced, rife with people citing small, ambiguous studies as iron-clad evidence that kids are being destroyed by the internet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ype6... 1/

Current “AI” from my perspective is less like a technological breakthrough—“the genie is out of the bottle”—and more a research fusion reactor: no matter how much energy and money you throw at the thing, nothing changes the fact that it costs more energy than it produces

Very interesting that you need to read non-Swedish newspapers to even see news of the new *fracking ridiculous* legislation that allows authorities to deny/revoke residency permits based on "bad behaviour”. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Sweden votes to back laws reinforcing its immigration crackdown

Waiting for family in the Arlanda Express Lounge. Observing what I know many call an ”interview”. One person reading questions, full of tech jargon, from a small screen and another person picking answer options from the same screen.

I made an infographic based on the United Nations University report ‘Environmental Cost of AI's Energy Use: Carbon, Water and Land Footprints’. #DigitalEthics #AIEthics #DataCenters

Illustration of data centers pulling water from a nearby water source, electricity flowing to the data centers, fogs of water leaving the data centers. A garbage truck leaving the data centers with e-waste. Wind turbines on land closer to the water. Three floating islands in the sky: (1) A ship dumping e-waste and polluting water for a community. (2) An excavation with a shovel and bulldozer, digging up land to find minerals. (3) People typing away on their computers.

Alongside the illustrations are info boxes, that start on the people with computers:

1. Day-to-day ‘prompting’ is 80-90% of total energy demand of AI.
2. More than 90% of AI computing capacity is concentrated in just two countries – the U.S. and China
3. AI-related water consumption could equal the basic annual domestic needs of 1.3 billion people by 2030.
4. Renewable energy sources may reduce carbon emissions but also increase water and land use.
5. Land footprint may exceed 14,500 square kilometres — roughly twice the size of the Jakarta metropolitan area.
6. AI infrastructure projected to generate up to 2.5 million tonnes of e-waste annually by 2030.
7. Burden of e-waste falls on lower-income countries with limited capacity for safe disposal.
8. Production of critical minerals raises concerns about environmental degradation and social inequities.

Det är tydligen bråttom nu. 12 nya beslut på 30 dagar i riksdagen. Många av dem kan försämra villkoren för personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Alla innan sommaren. Riksdagen förväntas godkänna alla. hejaolika.se/artikel/riks...

20 maj: Bidrag och ersättningar stoppas för utsatt grupp - nyanlända
utomeuropeiska invandrare
26 maj: Sänkt försörjningsstöd och nytt bidragstak
26 maj: Kraven på tillgänglighet i bostäder sänks
26 maj: Bidragsspärr och sanktionsavgift
27 maj samt 3, 4, 9 juni: Nya skolregler försvårar inkludering för elever med funktionsnedsattning
9 juni: Vårbudget som urholkar assistansersättning och lönebidrag
15 juni: Fängelse för 13-åringar
Juni (troligen): "Angiverilagen"
... plus ett beslut som togs redan i mars 2026: propositionen "Nya regler för
arbetskraftsinvandring" (2025/26:87) innebär att regeringen kan stoppa all invandring av personliga assistenter som kommer från länder utanför EU/EES.

Som icke-bilägare känner jag min inte särskilt lycklig över att regeringen tar lån för att sänka bränslepriserna.

Livsviktig essä av Staffan Laestadius. Välskriven, välgrundad och vägledande. "Arbetsproduktiviteten, tillväxten och den materiella välfärden ökar just för att vi kreativt nyttjar allt mer av det som vi nu snabbt måste avveckla."

Det här kunde gärna vara ett 1:a aprilskämt, men det är det inte. Gör det dock väldigt tydligt att valet i höst handlar mindre om höger vs vänster. Det handlar mer om xenofober vs xenofiler.

Dreamt that I was on a train and by some coincidence was sitting with a few of the UX veterans of Stockholm. I was giddy with excitement because of all the experience that was present in the carriage. It seems that I wanted to make use of that experience because I exclaimed: “Let’s make a web page!”

Högst upp på Liberalernas hemsida. Att man väljer just den bilden är ju smått häpnadsväckande. Hitta någon som tittar på dig lika drömskt som Mohamsson tittar på Åkesson.

Skärmdump från Liberalernas hemsida med en nyhet högst upp med bild från den senaste presskonferensen den 13 mars. Nyhetsrubriken är ”Sverigelöftet – ett handslag för ansvarstagagande: En ram för nästa överenskommels för Sverige. Bilden visar att ögonblick när Jimmie Åkesson står med händerna på podiet och tittar majestätiskt ut över åhörarna, och bredvid står Mohanmsson med blicken fäst vid Åkesson, i vad som lätt uppfattas som en beundrande blick.

Finally some sun after a drab, cold and grey winter (darkness is expected, but greyness is not). Took this picture yesterday when I was leaving Karolinska after a great day of field work. Not pictured are two patiens who were sunbathing in the sofas on the other side of the corridor.

Long hospital corridor with large windows with the sun flowing through.
