The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
Day 1621 of Ukraine's battle for survival. This is the 55th month in which the Ukrainians have had to defend their territory, language, literature, culture and freedom. Russia though is also feeling the realities of war. This is the daily thread.

Siri gi eksempel på kulturell appropriering? Trofe i Offroad Finnmark. Prisen ser ut som den er laget i Kina og den er en trashy kopi av en sørsamisk runebomme som gis som pris i Finnmark i nordsamisk område. Forfedre stjal og brente våre hellige formål og etterkommere kopierer. #samesame
Jeg sier ikke at vilkårene for dommere ikke bør sees over, men jeg stusser på «– Det skjer ofte at vi dommere blir utsatt for sjikane, diskriminering, mobbing, trakassering, fordi vi må spise sammen med spillerne og trenerne» på en cup for ungdom? Kanskje Norway Cup burde kommunisere folkeskikk?
Flere dommere går hardt ut mot Norway Cup
Deler av arrangementskomiteen for dommere går av på Norway Cups siste dag. Flere dommere reagerer på det de mener er dårlige arbeidsvilkår.

Reduced crops due to climate change and still the food waste starts way before the final consumer. “Because supermarkets only want to buy onions that fall within a certain size range, a lot of Young’s onions ultimately went to waste.” Time for supermarkets to start adapting to climate change too.

KI kan brukes til noe. I USA brukes KI ovenfor timeansatte for å sjekke hvor mye kredittkortgjeld de har. Jo høyere gjeld dess mer desperate og derved dårligere kan de lønnes. I motsatt ende brukes KI for å finne ut hvor høye priser det til enhver tid er mulig å ta. Brave new world

It would be easy to call this the “new normal“ but that’s incorrect. In actual fact, “normal” is going to keep getting worse and worse and worse. Just how bad it will get depends entirely on how fast & far we go on real, legitimate (not performative) #ClimateAction. We know how. It’s about will.

Det er spennende å jobbe i et medisinsk fagfelt hvor det skjer så mye. Vi som fikk autoimmune revmatiske sykdommer på 90-tallet fikk beskjed om at leddene våre ville bli ødelagt og måtte kirurgisk byttes med proteser. Nå er revmakirurgi skjelden nødvendig, fordi sykdommene kan behandles 🥳
