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.

I still see far too many people online believe that DOGE was a success. And that especially the closure of USAID was justified.

I hope those people will come back to reality one day.

Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”

People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

Working on my next D&D One-Shot. It is meant to be run for new players as well as players with experience. 1st level characters. Balanced so everyone can pick any class, no need for a party covering all roles.

This is the pitch for the players

Cannot adequately express to outsiders how insane it is to think the UK is characterised by "Islamoleftism". Just, absolutely, not a thing, not at all representative of our governing ideology, nor of the ideology of the left factions that exist as any serious presence within our politics.

the consequences of (1) seeing incarcerated peopel as subhuman, and (2) seeing transition as a frivolous luxury instead of as medical care, are as predictable as they are catastrophic
This is what guys like Yglesias, and everybody else making hay about Kamala supporting transition care in prisons, want to happen everywhere.
EXCLUSIVE: A forced detransition policy had disastrous effects in one Georgia prison, according to the manager of the medical unit there.

The policy is on hold due to a court order requiring prisons to re-start hormone treatments for incarcerated people in GA.

Kritikerne skal altså også lige forklare hvad de mener med “etnicitet”. Hvilken definition skal politiet bruge på så flygtigt et begreb?

DST’s kategorier for herkomst er ikke etnicitet.

I talked a bit with Jason about Grokipedia and it is, without exaggeration, like if you trained an LLM solely on white supremacist blogs and had it try to write Wikipedia entries. Some of the most insane stuff I’ve seen on the internet

"Du lever af indvandring til Danmark!" - er en sætning som jeg ofte hører.

Men det er helt forkert.

Vores org. er primært i udlandet. Mit arbejde er KUN i udlandet. Jeg laver dette:

Det her gælder også i Danmark. Måske endda især. Skræmmende mange af de her typer er danskere.

Pallesen, Kirkegaard et al. Lad være med at følge dem. Deres arbejde og udsagn er utroværdige og vildledende.
Why does so many people follow the race-iq-guys?!

They are not scientists. They are not reasonable. They are not honest. Their tweets are not interesting or useful.

I don’t understand.

Er der en radiokanal, hvor jeg kan lave en miniserie som går i rette med fjollede tal og påstande som findes i udlændingedebatten?
"Danskere i mindretal i 2096"
"Man bliver skjult i statistikkerne hvis man får statsborgerskab"
"Den muslimske indvandring er steget med 124% under Mette F"
De er meget optagede af remigration inde på @politiken.dk og fordømmer på det kraftigste.

Hvilket da er glædeligt. Men hvornår går de i rette med deres egne fejlskud og erkender at den fremskrivning de lavede i sommers var helt i skoven? 🧵

"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…
