Dear election gods, please, please, please keep KrF (Christian People's Party) and Venstre (Liberal Party, confusingly named "Left", but are further to the right than the Conservative Party, called Right), under the 4% threshold. Thanks, and amen.
It's insane that they're just talking openly about changing the government in other countries, like it's a totally ok and normal thing to do. Yeah, I know that the US have a long history of doing that, but they've at least tried to pretend they had nothing to do with it before!
It's weird, isn't it. He's a very lucky man with all of these coincidences.
I am very, very nervous. And if I never see the woman on the picture again, that would be great. She's a horrible, horrible woman.
You'd think they'd find out who these increadibly wealthy people paying all of these protesters everywhere are. Give us the names! I want to know where I can apply, I've been doing it for free for years, so I'd say they owe me a large amount of money.
So, when should we follow the American recepie and go bomb the US into a democracy?
Trump DOJ is now looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns. Worth noting that the Nazis did the exact same thing to the Jews. Also worth noting they have no plans to ban right wing white supremacists from owning guns, even though they commit a vast majority of all mass shootings.
We actually have laws and regulations which no all-powerful megalomaniac can just choose to overlook. Instead of punishing us for pulling out, maybe get Caterpillar to not cooperate with IDF, and stop letting them use their equipment to demolish Palestinian homes. 🖕
Senator Mccormick wants to sanction Norway, higher tariffs, visa restrictions and restricted access to the US market. Why, you ask? Because the sovereign wealth fund sold their shares in Caterpillar. Can someone tell him that we are a democracy, and not a flawed dem like the US?
#Czechia: In the run-up to the general election, we join media freedom organisations in calling on political parties to commit to 10 key principles to safeguard #mediafreedom in the country.
Much of the reason Israel was founded was because Western countries didn't want Jews, even after they turned away Jewish refugees during WWII.
Please tell me the "Fox News" is part of the painting! It completes the piece to make it true art.
Remind everyone that the problem turned out to be men. 😏
When a situation becomes more serious we should start calling it a "standuation" because somebody should probably get up and do something about it.
I did not know this was happening. Please spread the word about the massive protests in Indonesia!
I've put some bubbly in the fridge, and am constantly refreshing the news. 🤞
Signed and shared to Facebook.
Lindsey Graham said it's time to "tax countries" that refuse to do business with large US businesses. The Norwegian PM answered by texting an explanation of how our sovereign wealth fund works, trying to teach him the minimum required to have an opinion on what we do with our money. Fuck Caterpillar
Well, it looks like it's high time to move the UN out of the US. Not giving visas to Palestinian delegates is just way over the line. While we're at it, can we do away with the frankly ridiculous veto rules? Maybe the UN would actually be able to do something.
I know that there's this weird adoration of the military and veterans in the US, but this one is... Why wouldn't we be breathing? If there were no vets and no armies, how did we all die? It's like the men saying we need men to protect us. Protect us from whom, Chad?
@lfcr.bsky.social I love you, but why do you insist on trying to kill me!
Holy shit.
You mean the poor, frightened men being attacked by a suspect during a stop? They were just politely asking him to get out, and he tried to kill them! /s
USAID funded roughly half the world’s supply of ready-to-use therapeutic food. The dismantling of the agency has disrupted the global supply chain that provides the packets, leaving thousands of malnourished children at risk of dying.
There are two that are impossible to avoid for me, and a couple which will be difficult. Those fucking global conglomerates owning everything! Bit this is important to me. BDS!
Just the European looking ones. They don't want the ones who actually look like they come from the area.
Love this, but we don't want them! Norwegian-Americans are the worst! How about we put them on that floating trash continent out in the ocean?
People in the US, especially blue cities, it's time to start bringing some first aid equipment every time you leave the house. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Bandages, tape, tweezers, gauze. Everything can help.
Sooo... they're NOT lowering the prices by 1500%..?
I said 'help the homeless' not 'criminalize homelessness' you absolute goblins.
MTG takes up all the space, but you can get rid of her! At least oust her from power. Go follow the competitor, help spread his campaign!
And that list is supposed to be... positive..? 😂 However, I wouldn't put it past him to hit us with extra tariffs until we give it to him.
Chelsea and others giving money to Diogo Jota's family is a great gesture, but all of it is starting to rub me the wrong way. Jota played for Liverpool. He wasn't exactly poor... I'd imagine the family would already be set for life. What about donating to something he cared about?
No more statements of condemnation. No more “keeping dialogue open” to allow trickles of aid deliveries. No more complicity in ethnic cleansing and genocide. We call on every government in the world to urgently suspend trade and sanction Israel NOW. action.eko.org/a/gaza-invas...
Jamen, IDF *er* terrororganisasjonen som bruker sivile som skjold!
Yup. Happened recently to a regular at my regular bar. He used to talk about what he wanted to do to rapists and groomers. He's in jail. Good riddance. He better move city when he gets out.
All I want for Christmas is an end to the infernal "asmr" style videos, and for people to stop holding their clip on microphone like a regular mic. Is that too much to ask?
Everyone's favourite transbian auntie need some help while she's waiting for Facebook to stop demonitising. She's currently in New Zealand seeking asylum. I'll donate in a week, when I get paid. 😅
Vi kan ikke la dette skje! Mens mye av verden ser ut til å gå mer og mer mot høyre, og ytre høyre plutselig blir stuerent, må vi vise at vi ikke vil være på feil side av historien. Vi kan ikke få amerikanske tilstander med helt åpenbart korrupte ledere. At hun fremdeles er i politikken er utrolig.
Hey, Bild? Yeah. Fuck you. The IOF has tried saying he led an hamaz cell. This has been disproven several times. He was a journalist. The 5 people murdered were a journalistic team.
This has of course been part of their plan all along (never stop informing people that the crime rated in DC are actually at a 30 year low), but the reason they're doing it now is to get attention away from the list. As with everything they've done lately.
Absolutely beautiful.
They should just stop singing the national anthem before any match with Liverpool. You know it's gonna get booed (understandably so), and you know people will complain. #lfc #communityshield #cryliv
"Let me be unequivocal about this: while she may occasionally be making more sense recently, Greene is no friend to the Palestinian cause specifically or progressive issues more generally." But, when she's right (in essence), she's right. And it's fricking weird!
Child sex trafficking is a global problem. This is one example of the real world consequences of the cut to USAID. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart: fuck Elon, fuck Donald Trump, fuck the entire Republican party. Where is Qanon now?
Guy defending Trump: "these tariffs are nothing short of historic!" Me, an historian: 🙋🏼♀️👋🤦🏼♀️
Question for trans men: How does it feel to no longer having to deal with that one loose hair stuck in your bra in that impossible to reach spot on your back?
So, how's your day going?
Yesterday was day one of Beyond the Gates. I'm already completely shot. Only 3 days to go. Luckily, after this I don't have anything to do for a month. If I survive. 🤘
I'm thinking of taking up smoking again. Should probably buy some lighter fluid and a lighter just in case. In other news, Arthur Blank's disgusting US$180 million yacth is moored about 200 metres away from me.
Is anyone surprised? Didn't think so.
He's been winning those at his own club(s), so they'll be staying with him. I doubt nobody there is under the illusion that hue plays by the rules. Not even the opposition.
Imagine switching Lindsey Graham to something worse! I didn't really think that was possible. I hope SC knows what to do.
As he thinks there's "good people on both sides", we can all guess from which side he'll pick these ones.
The Norwegian woman arrested by the IOF for participating in the Freedom Flotilla (also called Ship to Gaza) had with her tobacco pouches. This "snus" is very common here as an alternative to cigarettes. It would take next to no effort to find this out, but instead they chose this.
Sadly ever more relevant.
Alright! Let's see if Germany can manage to keep all players today! #gerspa #euro2025
It's incredible. Every single thing that administration does makes them look more guilty. Just release the files already! Mike Johnson looks so innocuous, it's weird he's such an evil, dangerous man. Which is why he has that position, I guess. It's all acting for the TV.
They've GOT to know how bad all this makes them look! Everything they do makes everyone want to see the papers more!
Oh, to be among the England supporters now! 1-1! #engita #euro2025
One of the best things about international tournaments is to see the Italians singing the national anthem. #engita #euro2025
I haven't been able to watch the movie. I know people who were there, I knew people who died. Most Norwegians do, or know someone who knew someone. Were a small country. 77 people are a lot. Children being killed for being 'Marxist' (Labour is center-left) is horrible beyond words.
Even though it feels like yesterday to me, a lot has happened around the world since then. If you want to learn more about what happened at Utøya and in Oslo in 2011, there are some great documentaries and articles. And a movie called 22 July, from 2018.
14 years ago today, a terrorist set off a bomb outside our government buildings, then drove to a summer camp for youth hosted by the Labour party. He dressed up as a policeman to lure the kids out, and started shooting. These are the names of everyone killed that day. I'll not say his name.
It's insane that it's allowed! Here, all politicians must either sell, freeze, or hand control of their portfolio over to others. There's also rules for close family members. It's not perfect, it could definitely be better, but at least there are SOME rules!
"No one is above the law." Well, except presidents, thanks to the guy who wants to prosecute a president for... something.
That's fitting, it's what the US government has given them. And it's 'peed' in Norwegian. Take from that what you will.
Ah, the summer days of childhood, itching all over from rinsing rosehip. And the incessant gnat bites while picking black- and redcurrant And the spring days of picking nettles.
Goth summer on my balcony. 🖤
Neat!
Rest in peace, Ingvar Ambjørnsen. Your litterature will love forever. Tomorrow, I'll start re-reading "Elling".
Well, that was stupid. 🤦🏼♀️ Utterly unnecessary red card by Hendrich. #frager #euro2025
One of the most beautiful Norwegian songs is (imo) "du skal ikke sova burt sumernatta" "You shan't sleep away the summer night"-ish. These days, I wholeheartedly agree. The temperature is almost liveable during the night! I'd rather sleep away the day! I'm too Norwegian for this shit.
That was an incredible 103 seconds. And the weirdest penalty shootout I've ever seen!
Yes! But then again, I use cutlery for everything, like pizza and even wings, so I might be an outlier.
One day, the show gets nominated for an Emmy. The next (or so) day, it gets cancelled. Just after criticising it's own network for being spineless. 🤔
My political party nominated Francesca Albanese for the Nobel peace price. While the committee shouldn't be influenced by outside forces, the truth is that of course they are. It's impossible not to be. Albanese deserve it, and her work should be encouraged.
This is the weirdest penalty shootout I've seen! 😂 #sweeng #euro2025
That's efficient by Sweden! #sweeng #euro2025
Watch the seismic waves from today's magnitude 7.3 Alaska earthquake ripple across seismic stations in North America. More ➡️ loom.ly/kaJp5I0
Especially a Black woman. His combination of nightmares.
So, this is happening. How can anybody still deny it's a genocide?
Why haven't I heard about Impureza before?! Listening to their new album "Alcázares" now, and man! does flamenco metal work!
Thanks, some good things to check out here! As I'm from Bergen, the early Norwegian black metal is what got me into the music (hanging out with them would be weird if I didn't like it, I think), so it's nice when new albums can bring out that nostalgic feeling. 🖤
This is a very compressed story of why I say that Israel don't want peace, and how they've always undermined peace talks and broken treaties while making it look like it's the other side's fault. Note that this has been happening since before the creation of the state, it's not just Netanyahu.
Sooo... Remember that you were once immigrants..?
#Chad: Twenty-five journalists and media workers from various media institutions attended our workshop on gender equality and safety in the media in N’Djamena. This has been made possible thanks to Union to Union valuable support! #RatifyC190 ✊🏿 @abellanger.bsky.social
Someone actually managed to have that job and not just explode from the internal pressure of keeping their cool? I'm pretty sure I'd have a heart attack on day 1.
It's good to see some female representation I'm these male dominated spaces. ♀️✊
😂
Not being American, I will never understand how this is possible. I live in a country without armed police, if they have to arm for something, it's the main news for days. Even then, there's usually no shots fired. How can a country allow the police to act like this! Educate them!
Just a smidge.
Did she open her mouth? Of so, she lied. The only thing pressers by this administration is good for, is to find out what's definitely NOT happening. Because we've apparently been transported to Opposite Dimension.
Hey, Trump! Now that you've finally realised that Putin is full of shit and is determined to take the entire Ukraine, will you apologise to Zelenskyj? That's what a "real man" would do. Both you and your cronies should beg on your knees for forgiveness.
Sometimes, when I have a bad day, I rage watch bad pseudoarchaeology videos on YT. That's normal, right? Anyway, off to watch a deep dive on Atlantis.
Ymlaen, Cymru! Dragons should feast on lions any day. #engwal #euro2025
Incredibly emotional experience to watch the Liverpool pre-season match against Preston. Pretty much 19 solid minutes of singing the Jota song from minute 20 to 30, by both teams. And the players and commentators tearing up while standing with the supporters to sing after. Incredible scenes.
My prediction for the Liverpool friendly: we'll hear the Jota song a lot. 🕯️
Today is one of those bad days of #euro2025. Should I watch Netherlands v France for the beautiful football, or should I watch England v Wales as someone who loves a underdog. And as an historian who would love for Wales to thrash the colonial bastards. #holfra #engwal
