Det kryllar inte av framgångsrika vänsterpolitiker just nu. Ett undantag är socialisten Zohran Mamdani, som står på tröskeln till att bli New Yorks nästa borgmästare den fjärde november. Hans Obama-lika karisma är svår att replikera men det finns andra saker den svenska vänstern kan ta intryck av. Var lyhörd inför väljarna Strax efter att Trump blev vald […]

Your eco dishwasher soap is owned by a giant multinational that drives down workers’ wages and destroys the planet, while promoting the idea that individual responsibility is the solution to society’s ills.

For fifteen years or so, I’d been kicking around the idea of resurrecting the artist-apprentice model that reigned in the art world for hundreds of years.

Again and again, I’d heard from young people who lamented the astronomical and ever-rising cost of art school. For many college-level art programs, the total cost to undergraduates is now over $100,000 a year. I hope we can all agree that charging students $400,000 for a four-year degree in visual art is objectively absurd. And this prohibitive cost has priced tens of thousands of potential students out of even considering undertaking such an education.

For years, I mentioned this issue to friends in and out of the art world, and everyone, without exception, agreed that the system was broken. Even friends I know who teach at art schools agreed that the cost was out of control, and these spiraling costs were contributing to the implosion of many undergraduate and postgraduate art programs.

Immediately after October 7, a little know company shipped over 100 reconnaissance drones to Israel for use in its siege of Gaza.  Having been battle-tested on Palestinian civilians, the UAVs are now being used to surveil protesters across the US. This article was originally published by ¡Do Not Panic! AI-powered quadcopter drones used by the IDF to commit genocide in Gaza are flying over American cities, surveilling protestors and automatically uploading millions of images to an evidence database. The drones are […]

All Saints’ Weekend is typically a time in Sweden when candles are lit in the churchyards. Like many others on this beautiful autumn day, I made my way to the churchyard to remember and honour loved ones. The Eastern Churchyard in Lund is a place that, over the years, has come to mean so much […]
