Sorry! Satirkonto. Mea Culpa.

Since it’s part of social media logic to report one side of a story, but then leave the context or other side of story if it undermines the narrative, worth noting that Spain’s Interior Ministry reports that as of 6pm Friday, over 48,000 have now returned to Morocco (Guardian).

The experts on Greek mythology, classical literature and filmmaking have now reverted back to their previous jobs as experts on epidemiology, virology and medical research.

City of Stockholm put on a tango exhibition for an hour outside of the city’s Cultural House. You could hear a pin drop as people of all ages, genders, ethnicities watched as the pair danced. Hard to overstate positive impact the arts can have & positive role govt can have in promoting those arts.

US State Department presentation at a conference in Brazil had a slide where all 6 African countries identified were in the wrong place. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Tänk dig att du bor i Sverige och din region drabbas av en allvarlig naturkatastrof…och den svenske statsministern vägrar att ge ekonomiskt katastrofstöd eftersom din region inte röstade på honom.

Om du någonsin har velat ha bevis på hur illa ställt det är på andra sidan Atlanten, behöver du bara följa diskussionen om covid och Fauci. Helt vansinnigt.

Since Twitter/X is known to be a cesspool of bot accounts, disinformation and Russian propaganda, it seems Russia is now targeting Bluesky by hijacking the accounts of real, reputable users to spread fake articles. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/b...

David Brent’s music video from The Office has to go down as one of funniest things in the history of television. Like 10 intertexual musical references at the same time. youtu.be/riOZoc8vyFQ?...

Horrific attack in Berlin rightly gets coverage in Europe/US, but murder of a mother and 6 kids by husband gets far less spread. This, despite 1000 women murdered by current or former partners every year in the US, 700-800 a year in EU. Combined, that’s 5 every day. Media reaction? Almost zero.

En blandning av nyheter, kultur, barnprogram och, ja, populärunderhållning är en del av SVT:s uppdrag. Det är faktiskt viktigt. Men detta? Den bästa underhållningen bidrar till den offentliga sfären, inte förminskar den.

Just a reminder that domestic violence in the US and Europe takes far more lives per year than terrorism. It’s not even close. Yet we do not treat this as a form of terrorism, as that would mean asking some very uncomfortable questions about systemic male violence. apnews.com/article/mich...

Officials say man killed wife and 6 kids, then himself, before all were found in Michigan home fireInvestigators say a man fatally shot his wife and their six children, then himself, before they all were found in their burning Michigan home last week.apnews.com

As his comedy career was long gone, Cleese found a following on Twitter/X peddling racism and Islamophobia. But the platform is used by a minuscule number of people, and his bigotry (and the bigotry of others on Twitter/X) only sees the light of day when mainstream media amplify it.

Easy to make fun of Twitter/X...but where else can you find so many individuals who are experts in ALL of these things? * Greek mythology * Swedish immigration * Virology/Immunology * Mail-in voting * Humanities in Higher Education * Journalism * Algae in reflecting pools * Climate science * Islam

Interesting how many of the people who believe The Odyssey should be true to the source material because of “civilization” are the same who think university departments that teach The Odyssey should be shut down because they add nothing to society.

Att förespråka dödligt våld mot politiska motståndare och invandrare. Det är detta som journalister och politiker som fortfarande postar på Twitter som om det vore en vanlig plattform legitimerar.

Europeans should pay attention to how US commercial media succumbed to political pressure. This reinforces importance of well-financed, independent public service media alternative. Handing complete control over a national media system to companies driven entirely by profits is democratic suicide.

To appease right-wingers, Nolan’s next film should be a film version of the Old Testament that is 100% faithful to the text, including showing thousands of Egyptian infant babies suffering horrific deaths at the order of God and grandparents drowning with their grandchildren as Noah looks.

1) White House Correspondents' Dinner highlights wounds US journalism has inflicted upon itself over the past decade (and continues to inflict). Trust in journalism in US is far below trust in Europe & lack of self-critique and arrogance at the core. European journalism should be paying attention.

Absolutely shocking news from Redidit: Film expert drops insider bombshell that Odyssey may make less in its second weekend than it did in its first. Which is absolutely unheard of for big-budget films, which usually take in more every week until the world eventually runs out of money.
