Min moster avrättades av Saddam Husseins regim 1986 just för att hon kämpade för demokrati. Så ursäkta om jag inte skrattar när den moderate riksdagsledamoten Fredrik Kärrholm använder diktatorn för att göra sig lustig över hur människor i svenska förorter röstar.
Moderaten spottar Saddam Husseins offer rakt i ansiktet
Kärrholms uttalande är för sjukt.

here's a peak at what i've been doing for the past few years:

building a calm, playful little space for thinking, doodling, journalling, and programming with materials like ink, paper, and… flux that spreads through your notes like a fluid wait what?

AI doom or not, something has shifted with AI recently. The guardrails that kept AI sitting in a chatbox are gone, the models are better, there's more compute.

AI agents are everywhere. They are annoying as hell. IMO the situation is going to get much worse

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging. Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Då började den lilla flickans underläpp darra.
- Mamma och pappa var tvungna att flytta tillbaka till Syrien. Så jag bor hos min mormor nu.
Det blev tyst.
Vi vuxna tittade på varandra och utväxlade ordlösa blickar.
Inte. Börja. Gråta. Nu.

Tråd: Idag var det Österängsdagen. Folkfest i förorten. Alla partierna var där. Vi var också där såklart o hade workshop med barn. Jag satt med två flickor i sjuårsåldern.
Den ena flickan blev klar med sin garnboll och sken upp av glädje.
- Va fin! sa jag. Den får du visa för mamma o pappa!
