Jeg synes at @frederikkulager.bsky.social's nye serie på Zetland 'Gode Gener' er god. www.zetland.dk/historie/skA... Men jeg kunne godt tænke mig mere baggrund til læseren om hvor spekulative ideerne om IQ-screening egentlig er. Indtil nu synes jeg det er præsenteret som "det kan man sagtens".
Afsnit 2: Nye spor fører til et slot i Tyskland. Bag porten bor en doktor og en mørk hemmelighed
Hvis den vestlige verden skal reddes, skal der fødes babyer, en masse kloge babyer.

Lidt i tvivl om hvorfor det skal slås så stort op at Lea Korsgaard har holdninger til indvandring som flugter med størstedelen af befolkningen og bredt i Folketinget.

Congo Ebola outbreak still spreading largely undetected, WHO official says

"siden Mette blev statsminister er antallet af muslimske indvandrere der hvert år kommer til DK steget med 124%" Hvorfor sidder Mads Strange og gentager (forkerte) DF-tal fra sidste år? DF var forkert på den med de her tal sidste år. Men uanset så burde han vel opdatere tallet et år senere?
Folkebevægelsen mod at lave artikler om hvordan studiesøgning stiger eller falder uden at tage hensyn til at årgange har forskellige størrelser.
FIFA is corrupt; Trump is corrupt; the Balogun call was bullshit; the suspension of the call was bullshit; the appeal of the suspension is bullshit. Wow this is like the perfect storm for a discourse. You have all sorts of possible stances to take. Have fun everyone.
I cannot believe a few guys making bets on a prediction market are driving some news coverage at CNN and CNBC. It’s clearly info slop, not news. This piece by @atrupar.com & @juddlegum.bsky.social reveals how truly bad it is & how viewers are being misled. Yikes. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...
How Kalshi infects the news
CNN and CNBC are pushing Kalshi on viewers but not telling them the whole story.

If the Danish Tourism Agency (or whatever) doesn’t see this as an opportunity, I don’t know what they are doing. “Hey Brazil. If you were thinking about visiting Scandinavia, come to Denmark! We are happening hear about your complains about smug Norwegians all day. We promise no rowing!”
Hey hey. Kan nogen anbefale en maler og en murer omkring Amager/København? Ideelt ville være samme firma, men diverse tips er velkomne :-)
some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”
The outer Harry Kane is identical to every other bad-good lower-middle-elite awkward-diffident English player who ever skied a penalty under pressure; the inner Harry Kane is a zero-at-the-bone assassin without a fuck to give; this combination is perhaps the most confounding thing in all of sports
Mark Copelovitch@mcopelov.bsky.social · last mo."Harry Kane has scored more World Cup goals than Pelé" is something that is both true & incredibly impressive & also feels completely wrong
That was an incredible effort. Well done, Leopards.
Big problem in contemporary politics: part of present right wing insanity is their leaders/ base think its plausible that Ed bloody Milliband is a ruthless mass murdering dictator in the making. Another part is that many of their culture leaders are genuine bonkers fascists (e.g. Musk, Lowe, etc)...

En opsigtsvækkende britisk rapport deles af politikere og debattører. Den estimerer, at mindst 250.000 »unge hvide piger« har været udsat for voldtægter af muslimske bandemedlemmer. Men kan tallet passe? Læs eller lyt: www.information.dk/udland/2026/...
Tal for overgreb i Storbritannien deles flittigt. Men kan det nu også passe?

this is a terrific opening paragraph for a dystopian pulp novel released in 1997

I have been looking at El Niño forecasts and impacts all day. This chart from JRC is wild. Majority of models in the forecast ensemble move outside of all previous precedents.
this is wild— mahershala ali turned down a basketball scholarship to santa clara, so they offered that scholarship to….steve nash..
Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
Summer has made it to Copenhagen. All the rental e-bikes are in bloom.
Are we willing to invest just five cents per person per year to maintain one of the world’s most important climate monitoring systems? That provides crucial information about a potentially existential risk for Europe?
Femke de Jong@fmkdejong.bsky.social · 2mo agowww.theguardian.com/commentisfre... We are raising the alarm because continuing observations of one of our most important components in the climate system are becoming unsustainable.
