Yes, in Denmark
It doesn’t fix things, but it really does bring me comfort to know how miserable some of the worst people are. Donald Trump tweeting over 200 times on Christmas. Billionaires fighting with strangers online during the holidays. Everything about Elon Musk

I guess we have to assume that it is not safe to travel to the US for anyone doing research on topics such as hate speech or disinformation. That includes myself.

Oh no. How can I live a rich and full life without traveling to the US
I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US.

Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate.

Putin: The US is interested in using the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant for cryptocurrency mining.

Per Kremlin, Russia is negotiating joint management of the station with US WITHOUT Ukraine's participation, with the option to then sell electricity to Ukraine.

Zaporizhzhia is Ukraine.

Disarm Israel
"We’re monitoring what you do online. Disseminating, writing, or publishing inciting content online is considered a terrorist crime in every sense and may lead to arrest or imprisonment. We have warned you."

Israel warns Palestinians that posting about their suffering will be considered terrorism.

Sure, and there are more - I exaggerated a bit. But cph is definitely more bike friendly than pedestrian friendly. E.g. compared to Oslo or Stockholm

This year’s Presidential Christmas card.

And till this day it remains the only pedestrian friendly street in Copenhagen
One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

The authoritarian ruler calling for the death of a comedian that has made fun of him. The 21st century US is turning into a vulgar parody of medieval Europe

The choice for European countries is to either stand together or fall individually
Trump says he’s appointing Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as “special envoy” to Greenland.

Landry has previously expressed support for Trump’s plan to invade Greenland.

Europe is under attack. We need to defend it - together
Our democracy is under attack. We have to defend it!
 
It is unacceptable that Russian espionage exists within the EU, and even more so that we don’t get to the bottom of it. We must secure the right of inquiry to address for the European Parliament to investigate interferences in our democracy.

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵

Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

It’s not war, it’s content
A blockade is literally an act of war. Just mounting one is declaring war. Without Congressional approval or public support.

Preparing for an American tech blockade should be high on Europe's agenda. The fact that it's not is deeply problematic
Me: Hey, Europe, what ya gonna do if Trump does a tech blockade of us?
Everybody: Who even does that anymore?
Trump: hold my beer
Me: You don’t need an «Armada» to stop access to AWS. Just sayn 🤷🏻‍♀️
Trump orders ‘total’ blockade of sanctioned Venezuela oil tankers
The order comes a week after the US military seized an oil tanker off Venezuela's coast.

Wag the Dog, in which a US president launches a fictional war to distract from his own sex scandal.

What a ridiculous plot. Why would they make just a fictional war
