The Odyssey is such a traditionally manly movie. Lot's of violence, extremely positive portrayals of patriarchy and heterosexual love - there's even endles discussion of the Sea Peoples. The level of alienation from normie masculinity on the online right is really something to behold.
@lastpositivist.bsky.social · 3w agoTotal woke cultural victory. We're bringing pronouns back. It is now illegal to be a white male. We're doing May Day parades just for HR ladies.
Is Nolan's Odyssey basically just his attempt at adapting 1177 B.C.? So much Sea Peoples discourse in that movie.
Mens topcheferne skovler penge ind, halter almindelige lønmodtagere efter. Hvis vi vil undgå amerikanske tilstande, må vi styrke medarbejdereje og sætte et loft over løngabet i erhvervslivet, skriver @runestahl.bsky.social i dagens @information.dk #dkpol www.information.dk/debat/2026/0...

My uncle in Ireland just wrote to congratulate me on being cited in New Left Review. He also told me he'd called my dad to pass on the congratulations and to explain to him how big of a deal NLR is.
The ECB just hiked into an oil price shock, again. In our new paper for the EP Monetary Dialogue, we argue that this needs to stop. 🧵 If inflation is a function of the energy mix (✅) and the energy mix a function of monetary policy (✅), then even a narrow reading of the ECB’s mandate ... 1/

Fredag fik verden sin første dollar-billionær. Men en sådan koncentration af velstand er ikke bare et spørgsmål om økonomisk retfærdighed, men er en trussel mod vores demokrati, skriver @runestahl.bsky.social politiken.dk/debat/debati...

For years I've tracked billionaire excess. Each year I show students a chart that blows their minds. This year I had to redraw it for a trillionaire: Elon Musk, $1.32T. Depressing that we're here. Silver lining: couldn't have happened to a less deserving person, proof that wealth ≠ merit.

The first trillionaire's fortune, one pixel per $1,000 — scroll past every dollar, and see what a fraction of it could do instead.

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship
Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

Krigen i Iran har sendt verden ud i en energikrise med benzinpriser i himmelflugt og kæmpegevinster til olieselskaberne. Det kan føre til en økonomisk skævvridning, vurderer to eksperter.

Wall Street is booking record profits from war-driven market volatility.
Without energy efficiency, the EU would need — and pay — 31% more for energy today. Since 2000, efficiency has removed 265 Mtoe of demand from the market entirely. The best protection against a price shock is not finding cheaper oil and gas. It's needing less of it.
The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.
