De har i årtier drevet et »moderne oligarki«. Nu fortæller over 20 kilder om politisk påvirkning og korruption i Islands stolte fiskeindustri

På overfladen er Islands rederier kilde til international anerkendelse og har forvandlet landet fra feudalsamfund til et globalt vækstforbillede. Nu deler islandske politikere, eksperter og insidere deres erfaring med en milliardindustri bygget på fisk, frygt, grådighed og politisk infiltrering, der især leder tilbage til ejerne af én skandaleplaget virksomhed.

75 years ago, the path to the European Union began. 🇪🇺

On 18 April 1951, the Treaty of Paris was signed, establishing the European Coal and Steel Community.

🇧🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹🇩🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺 joined forces to build a shared market, choosing cooperation over conflict.

Born from the desire for peace and a united Europe after WWII, this treaty laid the foundation for the Union we know today.

Kaldastríðslykt af fyrirsögnum morgunsins 🤔

RÚV: "Andstæðingum veggjalda fjölgar á ný - 43 prósent landsmanna eru andvíg því að innheimta veggjöld"

Vísir: "37 prósent landsmanna fylgjandi innheimtu veggjalda"

Hvort tveggja er 'rétt', bara spurning um áherslur. En minnir svolítið á gamla tíma þegar Mogga og Þjóðviljanum var fyrirmunað að lesa það sama út úr veigaminnstu fréttatilkynningum.

Líra, the bookstore chain that Fidesz tried to bully out of existence, has just moved all Orbán books to the "History" section.

LOL

For years I've been hearing that "One day AI will be smarter than humans and we'll all be doomed."

"Nonsense," I said. "AI is very stupid, and not getting noticeably smarter." And I was right.

But I didn't think about the fact that there were two ways that prophecy could be fulfilled.
