Enig, bestemt! Det var vist ikke klart fra mit tidligere svar, men min påstand var, at stigningen i midt '20-erne også afspejler stigningen i midt '90-erne (som aflæst på grafen).

Dermed bestemt ikke sagt, at corona ikke også har en betydning.

Det er vildt interessant, for det giver ret afgørende retning for mange ting i samfundet, om det ekstraordinært lave fødselstal de seneste år er midlertidigt ting eller kommet for at blive.

Er en simpel del af forklaringen dog mon ikke også en 'ca 30-år senere' spejling af grafens første stigning?

Tuomas Kuhmonen tutki väitöskirjassaan yhteiskunnan monimutkaisten ruoka-, energia-, liikkumis- ja yhdyskuntajärjestelmien vaihtoehtoisten tulevaisuuksien ennakointia.

Näiden järjestelmien mahdollisten tulevaisuuksien ennakointi on hänen mukaansa kriittisen tärkeää.

It's such a heartwarming tale to read, and especially to learn that Noah heroically made his flight from Heathrow to Paris by jumping several lines.

If he had been missed it, God knows how long he'd had to wait for the next flight between those two particular cities? At least 20 minutes, for sure.

It's a remarkable trajectory, since Paris in 2015, but especially since Copenhagen in 2009.

The US and increasingly Europe have washed their hands of a catastrophe of their own making.

And the Rest is solving it for themselves with investment and tech from China.

Others publishing houses are a bit beta, but Penguin, my man, that's all alpha!

(Seriously, why does he specify the modern publishing house of a thousand of years old book that he is listening too as an audiobook anyway?)

Deres eksempel er negativt ladet, og ved eftertanke fungerer det måske faktisk bedst, når man tager afstand fx fra "det, X står for"?

Enig i, at det lyder mærkeligt i den positive version og som privatperson at stå for videnskab. I konteksten, på nutidsdansk er det vel snarere "står op for".

Måske misser jeg en vigtig nuance i det engelske, men svarer punkt 2 i dit danske Ordnet-link ikke, i hele træskolængder, til det, du søger?

Tre af AGFs fire-fem ringeste kampe dette efterår har været mod Sønderjyske. Dét kan Nørgaard (og hans spillere) nok godt tage en betydelig del af æren for.

One of the reasons why Finland is the happiest country in the world is that the public broadcaster Yle sends a live feed of the first 8 weeks of a pack of puppies every fall. It’s already the fifth edition of ”Finland’s most therapeutic live feed”.

FWIW, the Danish People's Party, like Reform, is now significantly to the right of their own 2015-2019 position.

Which also means that it would be a lot more costly for the Social Democrats/Labour to emulate their policies wholesale today, compared to the period in which that strategy *did* work.

He's just reading the graph wrongly, I think. I think he's somewhat off on what he's implying about the Danish case, but the general point - that nothing suggests that this would transfer to Labour succes in the UK - is probably dead-on.

They didn't come anywhere near 35% in 2009. They hit 35% during March 2020, e.g. in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.

There was always bound to be a regression to the mean (see: basically all similar countries, with similar effects), although the downfall is perhaps larger than expected.

Han er sikkert ikke den første spiller i #sldk historien til at score på Aarhus Stadion, Brøndby Stadion, Parken og FCM Arena samme halvsæson, men så lang kan den liste heller ikke være.

Hvis OB tager point i aften, har Tobias Bech scoret på udebane mod hele den øvrige #sldk top 6. Et i Haderslev, et i Parken, to i Odense, et i Brøndby og et i Herning. Stabilt.

(Han scorede også mod Silkeborg, men dem har #ksdh foreløbigt kun mødt hjemme.)

Frederik Vad kalder trods alt Mikkel Bjørns forslag for 'etnisk udrensning' (og nej, jeg tror ikke, at det var ment positivt), så der er alligevel en hel del luft imellem de tos positioner.

Det ville være rigtigt fint at begynde at spørge ind til, hvordan remigration skulle foregå i praksis. Dansk version af ICE, der i fuld kampuniform skal hente børnehavepædoger på arbejde? Internering i lejre? Stormløb på moskeer?

Altså, hvad er planen?

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives.

Threatening visa revocations for diplomats' personal *family* members, if the diplomats vote according to their countries' interests. Nice one, US administration.

And on top, doing it to throw maximum pressure against international climate change cooperation.

Earlier this year, @empirepoduk.bsky.social did a whole series on the history of Ireland featuring (among other great guests) both this (⬆️) book's author Fintan O'Toole and Patrick Radden Keefe, who wrote Say Nothing (also referenced in this thread, and also excellent).

Absolutely worth a listen!
