Jeg nærmer mig snart mit 2-årige jubilæum 🇫🇴🇫🇴 her på platformen.

De første 8-9 måneder skete, der ikke så meget - særligt indenfor mine interesseområder. Og platformen var svær at navigere på - dog ikke så slem som Mastodon.

Et par refleksioner over oplevelsen og gode fif 👇

🚘New record! Over 30% of all new cars registered in the EU were electric last November.

The trend is supported by steady growth in German and French markets and a sharp jump in Italy.

Tariffs are not fuelling a US manufacturing revival
• Manufacturing sector created jobs for last time in March this year, ahead of Liberation Day
• Since Trump's tariff salvoes, manufacturing firms slashed headcounts in each month, by around 70k people in total

IRAN PROTESTS GROW!

On Tuesday, protesting citizens in Abdanan Iran took to the streets and chanted: "Death to Khamenei," "This year is the year of the house, Seyed Ali will be overthrown."

Five years ago, if you were to say that the people sacking the Capitol would be pardoned and celebrated, it would have been hard to believe. So too, if you were to predict that the person in who encouraged it would return to office. But we have a culture of impunity. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/o...

Rusland rekrutterer aktivt soldater til krigen mod Ukraine fra tredjelande som Nepal, Sri Lanka og Cuba. Men er der er tale om en desperat løsning på mandskabsmangel, eller er forklaringerne mere komplekse? Hør @karenphilippal.bsky.social fortælle om sin forskning i netop Ruslands fremmedkrigere.
Hvorfor kæmper fremmedkrigere for Rusland mod Ukraine?

Det er ganske enkelt vanvittigt at nok amerikanske vælgere ville have Trump igen efter det her cirkus.

Fin lille tråd med nogle absurde, men mindre delte, videoklip fra dagen for 5 år siden.
I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

Thank you to President Emmanuel Macron for bringing together the Coalition of the Willing in Paris today. Canada and France are strong Allies and partners — and we’re working relentlessly to secure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

Fin vidensbank fra Idrættens Analyseinstitut.

Det ville være fedt, hvis der også fandtes en opdateret oversigt over orienteringskort - der er den centrale "facilitet" for orienteringssporten. Mange kommuner tror, at faciliteter kun er sportshaller.
I samarbejde med IFFD har vi på Idrættens Analyseinstitut udviklet talogviden.dk, der byder på viden, data og konkrete eksempler om idræt, fritid og faciliteter i kommunerne. Siden er målrettet både politikere og forvaltninger, der har brug for et hurtigt overblik og et solidt vidensgrundlag 👇

Hvis man vil have lokale butikker bliver man nødt til at bruge dem. Coronakrisen havde en forstærkereffekt på mange tendenser - herunder tendensen til at købe online i stedet for i lokale butikker.

Storcentre spiller selvfølgelig også sin rolle - men de oplever også udfordringer.
I'm endlessly amazed how many empty store fronts I see in prime retail locations around where I live. This isn't about weak consumer demand, but about COVID that shifted households towards buying from the internet. Lots more empty storefronts coming...

Few thoughts on the Greenland saga, summarized in a short thread. Some of these points have already sparked debate on X, but after Miller’s speech, I am even more convinced. 🧵Thread
