I started boycotting the NYT when they started pushing for the Iraq War. I never stopped. I came close when they apologized and appointed a Public Editor, but a couple of years later they closed that job down.

But all is not lost. You can still link to their reporting without giving them a dime, by using archive.is or other fine services:

In 2019, Iceland became one of the first countries to approve a four-day workweek. Here's how things have been going for them.

2021: "Trials of a four-day week in Iceland were an "overwhelming success""

2024: "Iceland’s economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter working week with no loss in pay."

Toppen av ironi: En norsk konsulent som vil forklare oss hvordan staten har sløst bort penger.

Om noen dager inntar Trump det hvite hus. En malstrøm av kontroverser og konspirasjoner følger i hans kjølevann og stadig flere folk lokkes ned i kaninhullene og øker antallet multiverser av virkelighetsoppfatninger.

På vår side av dammen er det ikke like ... Texas? ... men vi står også overfor politiske skifter og potensielt økt polarisering. Hvordan kan vi beholde roen? Ta vare på relasjoner til familie og venner som beveger seg i motsatt retning av deg?

Sjekk ut den ferske boka til @bjoernstaerk; "Ingen tenker alene" – en bok om å skifte mening. Den gir nyttige og praktiske strategier som kan dempe polarisering og avstand mellom mennesker, og er rett bok til rett tid!

Honestly, if you’re in the US, please vote. Don’t let a fascist take control. Don’t think that it can’t possibly happen there. This might be your last chance to vote. Don’t waste it. Sitting it out won’t help your cause but it will definitely endanger a lot of lives. That’s my take on it.

Night Train Map in Europe (2024), https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-map/. This is an interactive map: each line is clickable and brings information about all the stops, schedules, frequency and the company operating this line. That’s pure beauty.

Combined with InterRail, it’s so much travel freedom and opportunities in Europe!
