Att låna till försvaret är enligt finanspolitiska rådets ordförande Lars Heikensten inte att rekommendera. I Finanspolitiska rådets årliga rapport som presenterades i onsdags föreslås istället att de kraftfulla aviserade försvarssatsningarna på uppemot 300 miljarder kronor finansieras via höjda skatter. Hade man föreslagit att skattefinansieringen skulle ske genom kraftigt höjd progression i inkomstskatterna, kapitalskatter eller särskilda […]

Hey Mum!
Remember a couple of months before you died, when you told me the Freemasons had installed Pope Francis? And that he was in cahoots with Obama, who was the Antichrist? You waved your iPad at me, with the YouTube page open that laid it all out. And I said, kind of testily, that Catholics are supposed to believe the Holy Spirit chooses popes, without help from secret societies. And that Obama was just a former president, not a supernatural force bent on destroying the Church and the Constitution for good measure. You gave me that smug smile, but dropped it. No blowup that evening.
Well, guess what happened a few weeks ago? Your “Freemason puppet” Pope Francis went to his reward. And you would not be happy about his replacement.
Pope Leo was Francis’s protégé—pulled up through the ranks by “that liberal,” as you called him. And the new Pope promises to build on his predecessor’s legacy.

A healthy person can survive forty to sixty days without food, depending on how fat they were to begin with. Women last longer than men (woman are better at all extreme endurance feats I am aware of.)
It’s been about two months since Israel cut off all food and water to Gaza. There were storehouses and some food, and it took about 30-40 days to exhaust the stores, but even before that there wasn’t enough.
The PM's white paper was not the 'evidence-led' policymaking he promised, rather it was 'cheap, short-termist, headline politics', writes Mathilda Mallinson

Q: About a year ago, my friend asked me to start sharing my real-time location with her. At first, the layer of forced transparency made me anxious. What if I want to reschedule our plans, but I’m just sitting at home? What if I’m running late because I can’t figure out what to wear, and not because I’m stuck in traffic? But here I am a year later, getting ready to meet up with Location-Sharing Friend, and I’m the one who’s abusing my power. I just checked her location to see how far away she is—a habit I’ve formed, and something I do even when we have no plans. She’s five minutes away. What’s your opinion on location sharing? Is it a sign of intimacy, or just downright invasive?
