In a booklet on Swedish history targeting new immigrants, the socialist authors erase all traces of liberals in the fight for democracy. Shame on them for lying!

About 200 British and American academics have signed a petition defending a university lecturer, David Miller, who called Jewish students on his campus “pawns” of Israel, “a violent, racist, foreign regime engaged in ethnic cleansing,” Haaretz reports. In other words, a bunch of anti-Semites complaining about racism.

Update: Miller doesn’t believe Assad gasses Syrians, or Russia poisons defectors, but for him the “Zionist enemy“ and its agents—Jewish students—are all-powerful and always guilty, Nicole Lampert writes.

Swedish journalist Elisabet Höglund has managed to write a 300-page book about a true crime without knowing anything. Everything is “I have no real facts or information, but…” It’s an impressive fiasco.

Swedish newspaper Sydsvenskan reports about knife attack yesterday when a young man wounded several people in the small town of Vetlanda. Three people are treated with life-threatening injuries, and the police are investigating whether the man is a terrorist.

It appears that the knife attack in Vetlanda wasn’t a terror attack. Well, it was, but not in its strictest definition—ideologically motivated violence.

New research from Zimperium suggests 14% of apps that use cloud storage has unsecured configurations and are vulnerable to attack.

Irish authorities have announced plans to fly unweaned dairy calves from Ireland to other EU destinations.

Don’t expect any condemnations from European leaders. Condemnations are reserved for Israel when it defends itself.

It seems the Britain’s royal family is a dysfunctional family. More average than one might think.

It’s an unusual sight—the sun outside my office window. Seems I have survived another dreadful winter. 🌞

It began as a way for the Soviet Union to make itself look less sexist, but it has now become widespread to mark 8 March as Women’s Day. Personally, I think it’s absurd that women should have a special day. All days should belong to women.

I have discovered audiobooks. It’s great to read book while doing routine work. Now I’m listening to Brian Masters’s book on Jeffrey Dahmer, a charming man who liked to rape, kill, and eat his male “lovers”.

The most disgusting bully in British media has a very thin skin when criticised.

I learned from Brian Masters’s book on Jeffrey Dahmer that cannibalism has a long history and is quite common. He lists a number of such cases from the past decades.

Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute warns of heavy snowfall. Nooooo!

Now you know.

This “interview from history” in the Daily Mail is quite funny.

Oprah: Whoah! I am shocked! And how do you feel about Mary now?

Elizabeth: I feel so much compassion for her. And that’s why, when I became Queen, I reached out to so many of her most fervent followers… and executed them. It was for their own good. And I did it with so much compassion. You see, they had been perpetuating falsehoods. And no one wants to perpetuate falsehoods.

Oprah: That must have been so hard on you.

I like this painting. Somehow very Swedish in its dejection.

Richard Orange explains the many types of Swedish jokes.

I’m not sure what to make of this piece in the Financial Post. I hear John Galt’s voice in my head.

In this horrific article on rape in India, I find a passage that I think is important to everybody everywhere. Rape is rarely a crime committed by strangers. It’s a man you know.

Only 1.8% strangers were involved in rape cases compared with 2.2% in 2019 and 3.6% in 2016. The maximum number of rape cases, around 70%, were committed by family, friends, known people and acquaintances, 14% by relatives and 12% by neighbours.

Americans seem to have fallen out of love with award shows, Deadline reports.

I haven’t watched such a show in years.

Translated by May-Brit Akerholt:

there was a deep breath
and then the mountain stood there
then the mountains stood there
and that’s how the mountains stand there

and stoop downwards
and downwards
into themselves
and hold their breath

while heaven and sea
stroke and beat
the mountain holds its breath

Trade has plummeted and red tape has blocked the British borders. Far from Global Britain.

A new report paints a horrific picture of the schools in my hometown, but I can’t say that I’m surprised. It’s been like this for far too long.

The report, in Swedish, is available here.

“Israeli archaeologists have unearthed two dozen Dead Sea scroll fragments from a remote cave in the Judean Desert, the first discovery of such Jewish religious texts in more than half a century,” the Guardian reports.

I’ve just been watching the HBO documentary on the sex allegations against Woody Allen. It leaves a bitter taste as I get the instinct feeling I’m deprived of half the story. I’m left with the planted ideas of Allen as a child molester.

English politicians are waving the union jack, but its meaning is tattered and torn, John Harris writes in the Guardian.

So save this union, it should learn from federal states such as Belgium and Germany.

Swedish journalist Johan Romin writes on Twitter about how state media tried to silence his attempt to add nuances to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The bosses wanted the usual Israel-bashing. This is the biased journalism all Swedes are forced to pay for.

It’s fascinating how people make their own definition of anti-Semitism to justify their own.

“Sweden plans to charge airlines more at takeoff and landing if their aircrafts are more polluting, the government has said,” the Guardian writes. “The measure is set to go into effect in July and means that newer and more efficient aircraft will benefit from the scheme while older planes will be hit with higher fees.”

Barak Ravid of Axios writes about five scenarios.

So, what is money in capitalism?

“Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exit unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value.” — Ayn Rand
