I’m not really sure what I’m doing. Over 15 years I slowly gathered a very cool and diverse list of follows and followers in that other place. I’m sad that it doesn’t exist in that way anymore.
"Vi har brug for bilen*!"

*(en gang om måneden når vi skal i sommerhus.)

Jeg synes at det er helt fint at man har det behov. Men jeg ved ikke hvor langt vi andre skal strække os for at hjælpe med at opfylde det.

In an interesting turn of events, US and Danish government came up with the same to help with the affordability crisis: longer mortgages!

That has sparked some backlash. But in the US, it seems the discussion is focusing on the wrong stuff.

Well, let’s try to learn from 🇩🇰.

DR skriver om hvorfor Soc.Dem. har mistet grebet om Kbh www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

De taler om vælgerforandringer osv. Men jeg synes de overdriver effekten af disse. Der var en lille nedgang fra 1985 til 2017, jovist. Men det store spring er 2017->2021. Hvor de fleste vælgere jo er de samme.

what this suggests to me in particular is a more refined understanding of how The Algorithm and in particular the Full Algorithm Sites like Tiktok drive anti-social behavior

being fed a diet of impoliteness or intolerance modeled by people you like leads to replicating that toxic behavior

Hvis du er i København og kender nogen som kan spille rollespil med en gruppe unge, så send dem videre til min forening!

De unge på holdet er naboholdet til mit eget mandagshold. Og det er nogle helt vildt søde og dygtige unge, som brænder for D&D.

Må meget gerne deles.

I Pols fremskrivning, så er Pierre Emil Højbjerg ikke dansk. Og det er hans oldebørn heller ikke.

De brugte en definition på “efterkommere”, som var meget mere striks end Danmarks Statistik. Men brugte det samme ord. Så det er skrupforvirrende.

Især når folk læser artikler gennem screenshots…

Glimrende gennemgang af den nylige ankomst af “remigration” i den danske debat @mathiassindberg.bsky.social @gjerding.bsky.social

Det eneste jeg mangler er et interview med Politiken om hvordan pokker de kunne gå så skævt med det makværk af en projektion 😅
Re-mi-gra-ti-on. Husk ordet, det er den nye front i udlændingedebatten
Med stor hast er Dansk Folkeparti og store dele af den europæiske højrefløj på vej et sted hen, hvor hverken Socialdemokratiet eller Marine Le Pen vil være med. Remigration er den nye front i udlændin...

Disinformation, now in 3D.
NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Tested something with Google Gemini. On a prompt written in Danish, it responded in Dutch.

Det er altså virkelig bizart at se DF turnere rundt med påstanden om at der har været høj muslimsk indvandring under MetteF.

Der har været nogen muslimsk indvandring, men den har på ingen måde været høj.

Det er al den anden indvandring som har været høj.

Against my better instincts, I have written some notes on how human probability judgements work and what you should expect from surveys that ask people to guess what proportion of the population is transgender. I hope never to speak of this matter again

For the love of fuck, literally nobody thinks that 20% of the population is transgender. Please stop sharing that ridiculous YouGov statistic

A few observations from Berlin:

It is impossible to get decent coffee before 8 am.

Cyclists have a very weird tendency to bike next to the bike lane instead of on it.

Yesterday I got to present some of our work on anticipatory action for forced displacement at the very interesting Symposium on Crisis Early Warning at the German Federal Foreign Office.

Thank you to the German Red Cross for the invitation!

Bad headline: "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel off air ‘indefinitely’ over Charlie Kirk comments"
Good headline: "ABC bows to government pressure to pull Jimmy Kimmel off air ‘indefinitely’"

Kimmel did not criticize Kirk. He said his death was being exploited and implied the killer was pro MAGA

Superdygtige @hrl-yalesph.bsky.social har udgivet en rapport som detaljerer hvad russerne gør ved de børn som de har taget. Det er helt frygteligt.
The Yale School of Public Health’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) discovered an unprecedented system of “re-education” and militarisation of Ukrainian children, forcefully deported by Russia.

Jeg gider ikke lave en lang tråd, så det bliver et billede i stedet.

DF bliver ved med de der 124% stigning i den muslimske indvandring. Det er en overdrivelse og slet ikke hvad tallene viser.
