I know, it’s a day too late, but couldn't post it yesterday.

It’s the worst month of the year. At least in Sweden where it’s cold and dark.

A bad day for the city’s Jewish population. Mamdani wants to globalise the intifada, which is the name for the two organised Palestinian terror sprees that killed 1,283 Israeli Jews. Read it at New York Post.

Mamdani’s win will impact Jews worldwide. Read the editorial at the Jerusalem Post.

Science fights lethal jaws. Read the study at Wildlife Research.

Californian youth pastor Joshua David Kemper, who shared posts that claimed children weren’t safe around gay people, has been arrested on charges of child sexual abuse. Read it at Pink News.

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first atmospheric map in 3D of an exoplanet. Read it at Nature Astronomy.

Nice skin and better mental heath. Read the study at the American Journal of Psychiatry.

An authoritarian Putin-puppy to meet an orange narcissist. What can go wrong?! Read it at the Guardian.

It’s Friday afternoon. Have a nice weekend!

According to a new study, AI is acting more human than some doctors. Read it at the British Medical Bulletin.

Anti-Semites on the right are reading from the same anti-Israel playbook as their left-wing foes. Read Jonathan Tobin at the Jewish News Syndicate.

Good news! Read it at Pink News.

Hat gate? 🙂 Read Sarah Anderson at PJ Media.

Europe’s gayest place just became gayer. Read it at Canarian Weekly.

“With Sweden now available on doctor’s orders, Annabel Grossman shares her experience of going off-grid in one of the most remote regions in Scandinavia.” Read it at the Independent.

Quote:

The news that doctors are now able to prescribe “Sweden” may well just be a stunt by a clever tourist board, but I think they’re onto something. In summer 2023, on the verge of burnout, I threw together a backpack with a tent, sleeping bag, cooking stove, freeze-dried food and waterproofs, and headed to Swedish Lapland for a hike that would take me to one of the remote places in Europe. Crucially, I left my phone behind.

Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a new protein-based gel that can restore tooth enamel by mimicking the body’s natural growth processes. Read it at Nature Communications.

“Research published earlier this week found that 65.8 per cent of Americans support same-sex couples’ right to marry, with 36.2 per cent saying they ‘strongly’ support keeping protections in place. Comparatively, just 34.3 per cent of respondents said they oppose same-sex marriage, 16.1 per cent of which said they strongly oppose it.” Read it at Pink News.

New research from the University of British Columbia mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Read it at the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics.

It’s Friday afternoon.

I drove from Stockholm to Malmö yesterday. Snapped this photo of the river Lagan during a break in Värnamo.

This is truly worrying: “The conservative commentator has further fractured the right with his anti-Israel rhetoric and sympathy for a white nationalist.” Read it at the New York Times.

Cancer, diabetes, and obesity aren’t just human problems anymore. Read the study at Risk Analysis.

This is so cool! Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Read the study at the Association for Computing Machinery.

“Hamas has started stockpiling weapons in African countries, Yemen, and other nations sympathetic to the terrorist organisation.” Worrying but hardly surprising. They are terrorist, after all. Read it at the Jerusalem Post.

It’s no secret that Trumps favours Putin over Zelensky, but this is so, so bad. A real insult to everyone. Read it at the New York Times.

The Economist puts it blunt:

It is hard to know whether to laugh or panic. The 28-point peace plan that America is hawking around as a basis for ending the war in Ukraine is so poorly put together, so vague, unbalanced and impractical that, in a more normal world, it would never have seen the light of day—and once leaked it would have been quietly dumped.

“A mass abduction at a Christian school in Niger state has pushed authorities to close schools and escalate security measures as armed gangs and jihadist groups expand their operations.” Read it at Le Monde.

Love this! Designer Michael Schmidt uses fleece from rams that prefer same-sex partners. Read it at the Telegraph.

Ha! 🙂 Read it at Expressen.

I had a chat with someone a few days ago, and it made me think about myself as a blogger. He asked me why I’m paying so much attention to American politics and Donald Trump? My friend is right to ask this question. I have been too focused on America, but one cannot ignore the fact that both Europe and Israel is dependent on the US. Unfortunately.

I hate November, so I’m happy it will end in a few hours.
