- Good to see a push-back on the tech oligarchs. Good for Spain. Others should follow. The rest of us can support the cause by reducing our presence on their platforms. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...
- I also posted this lknk on Facebook. Hope others also share the link via Facebook and Instagram.

- Reposted by Rasmus E. BenestadThe arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.
- Reposted by Rasmus E. BenestadMy first remarks since being arrested last night.

- Reposted by Rasmus E. BenestadThe UK has lost its measles elimination status, the World Health Organization has announced. Vaccine disinformation is a worldwide pandemic that is killing us.
- Reposted by Rasmus E. BenestadReminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

- Reposted by Rasmus E. BenestadIt's cold outside and snowy, too! Is climate change a hoax? Not at all. Winter still brings cold weather even as the planet warms. In fact, warmer oceans + a rapidly warming Arctic can even increase the intensity of winter storms and heavy snowfall. That's why I call it Global Weirding!
- Why not move it to another part of the world? Latin America or Europe? Or all of it in Canada ( risk of heatwaves higher in Mexico)?
- #BoycottFifaWorldCup #BoycottFifaWorldCup2026 A message to the world: boycott the FIFA World Cup games in the USA in 2026. It's not safe here.
- Reposted by Rasmus E. BenestadReporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those
- Reposted by Rasmus E. BenestadThe killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
- Wonder how many who confuse ICE with ice associated with the winter storm (meteorological)
- Synd, men folk flest ønsket at byrådet vi har i dag skulle styre hovedstaden. www.nrk.no/stor-oslo/ru...
- Wonder if he got Grok help him with this passage. But on the other hand, when he speaks about fake information and corruption, he probably has lots of experience and can be regarded as an expert.
- I guess this must be the number one track these days on Greenland: youtu.be/U-GYaL8IewI?...
- Tragic, but not unexpected in these times of global warming. The rainfall gets more extreme both because higher temperatures increase evaporation and air humidity, but also because the rain gets concentrated into smaller patches. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
- I wonder whether the reason why the US administration is hammering the EU is because they are jealous on Europe with its freedom and security. No arms policy that leads to massive murders, social security, and generally happier than the Americans.

- A masterly distraction away from the Epstein case?
- Kan man ikke egentlig si det samme som Trump sier til Jonas om USA? De kom jo også med båt og slaktet ned urbefolkningen. www.nrk.no/urix/trump-m...
- If I were a country that received tariffs as a punishment for standing up for inaliable rights & sovereignty, then I would consider dumping state bonds that I have invested in that country. We cannot accept idiocracy to reign the world. Be brave, world leaders.
- Vi må støtte Grønland og Danmark
- MAGA is more like Make America Go Away because of a clueless president's decisions backfiring. It's a demonstration of the damage caused by ignorance and forceful stupidity.
- The world would be so much better if people weren't so servile to tyrants and fascists. What if all meteorologists,went on strike if a mad president were to take Greenland.
- Will lessons about a renegade and mad president in South Korea be appreciated in the USA? The specimen in South Korea was impeached.
- What disgusts me with XAI/Grok is that it must have been trained on volumes of pictures of naked minors. How else woulf it be able produce pics of undressed kids? I hope there will be investigation into its training material.

- Hvis Grok kan lage nakenbilder av barn, betyr det vel at den er blitt trent på pedobilder. Jeg synes Musk og hans gjeng er skikkelig ekkel.
- Jeg mener at @arbeiderpartiet.bsky.social og statsråden enten lurer folk når de snakker om olje- og gassutvinningen, og klimautslippene som følger, eller at de ikke skjønner sammenhengene. Fossilpropaganda, slik jeg hører deres misledende påstander.
- Hvis man tror at fortsatt leting og utvinning av olje og gass på sokkelen skaper forutsigbarhet har ikke innsett at klimaendringene de skaper gjør været mindre forutsigbart. Det påvirker matsikkerhet og migrasjon. Mer konflikter. @arbeiderpartiet.bsky.social
- It's good to see Minesota pushing back on tyrant-style behaviour from a mad man.
- The outlook points to a new El Nino brewing at the end of this year. A quick-and-dirty evaluation of last year's prognosis suggests that the ensemble embedded the true outcome, but only barely.
- Spectacular northern lights over Norway tonight
- A serious concern is what data it has used for training its deep fakes and where it got access to such.

- Why are there not any more websites which show how the rainfall and temperature have changed where people live and how it will change in the future if we continue to utilise fossil fuels? Here is one example for historical data ocdp.met.no
