Professor in human geography at the University of Oslo. My current research interests surround the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. Putin belongs behind bars. Lazio-Latina, er derby s'avvicina!
This was excellent analysis, but it didn't age well. As the problems kept piling up, Dr. Arday resigned.

I would vote for the garbage can man. Especially after hearing him speak.

Some of the missiles Russia used during its overnight attack were Iskander-M ballistic missiles equipped with cluster warheads. The use of cluster munitions is intended to maximize destruction and increase the number of casualties by dispersing dozens of submunitions around the impact site.
Conte is the guy who was so happy to receive (useless) aid from russia, including unwelcome agents, during the early phases of the covid crisis.
Jacopo Iacoboni@jacopoiacoboni.bsky.social · 3d ago"If I were to be entrusted with being pm candidate, I would call Zelensky and meet with him. I reassure him: he's being attacked, but a moment later I would call Putin to bring about a turning point in the negotiations." The usual, ignoble words of pro-Russian Giuseppe Conte
Ungefär som när ryssen talar om 90-talet. Man kan säga att det rör sig om zombiepolitik. Så fort det behövs blåser man liv i zombien som då börjar valsa runt det politiska landskapet tills regeringens faktaresistenta budskap förankrat sig igen.
Alex Voronov@alexvoronov.bsky.social · 4d agoRegeringens ylande om ”2015” påminner om något rätt dystert: Varken myndigheter för psykologiskt försvar eller tusentals seminarier i ämnet desinformation kan motverka politiska frestelser att manipulera opinioner och slå armkrok med Sveriges och Europas fiender.
While defending itself against Russia's war of aggression, Ukraine is also helping protect lives across Europe. This is European solidarity. Every day, Ukraine shows it belongs in our Union.
Again a night of Russian war crimes. Russia's war clearly has genocidal intent, but I think we should use the genocide term carefully. "Genocide strikes" sounds rhetorically powerful, but it ultimately devalues the concept. War crimes are exceptionally serious crimes, as are crimes against humanity.
Ariana Gic@arianagic.bsky.social · 5d agoKyiv after at least 30 Russian genocide strikes on residential buildings overnight. Ukrainians are being murdered in their beds EVERY day. Our response is not to stop the genocide, not to help defeat Russia like we defeated the Nazi regime, but to tell Ukraine to negotiate with the fascist aggress.
He's not joking. I'm afraid his removal won't be bloodless. But he's old. He might die before that happens.
Joni Askola@joniaskola.bsky.social · 2w agoThis is beyond insane. Every warning about Trump’s autocratic tendencies has proven to be accurate. If the American public accepts this, it marks the end of a civilized society. As for the few in the room who applauded? They aren’t actual journalists
The moment many Ukrainian FP-1 drones struck the Wildberries logistics hub in St. Petersburg one by one. No air defense present. #Russia
Bensin är dyrare än i Sverige inte bara i alla EU-länder med undantag för Malta, den är även dyrare i Ukraina (17-18 kr litern). Och då ska man komma ihåg att medellönen i Ukraina är under 7.000 kronor. #bensinpris #miljopolitik
A severely mentally ill man has control of the launch codes for America's nuclear arsenal, but it doesn't seem that many people care.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoI ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.
I just asked to join the EB (and basically be an editor) of what appears to be a prestigious journal in the NATURE (!) portfolio - because of my expertise in "death studies, bereavement research and end-of-life studies." I guess the journal looks for editors using AI, which is rather queer. (1)
Honestly this is worth watching - this clip is great but look out for the full talk. He just flat out admits the whole thing and it's breathtaking ps - he's not going to accept the results of any elections
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Trump on Balogun: "That wasn't even an infraction...this referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past. He made a call nobody could believe...he's our best player, or one of our best players. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant...yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."
We've gotten to the point that even Sepp Blatter complains about corruption in FIFA.
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · last mo.A commendable stand taken against corruption by— … omg

NEVER use this AI map generator. If you ask it to draw a map of Russia, it places Crimea within its territory and refuses to do otherwise (as far as I can tell): www.bettermaps.ai/en/mapmaker

So far 6 hours and 5 (!) changes between Düsseldorf and Brussels. Two trains never reached their destinations. The rest were (are) delayed.

Just read Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London on the train. After getting off at Hamburg hbf, walking through the local skidrow to get to my hotel felt like an entirely different experience. Highly recommended and somehow timeless book.
