I think I'll do some light optimistic reading on what lead up to the French Revolution 😌

This is the bad place

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution:

Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Synes godt nok folk er hårde ved Gladiator 2. Den når selvfølgelig ikke 1’eren til sokkeholderne, men jeg var da ganske godt underholdt, og synes både skuespil, historie og det visuelle spillede meget godt.

6/ Healthcare reform isn’t about population size, government control, or lack of solutions. It’s about priorities. Other nations prove affordable, high-quality care is possible. The real question is: Why settle for less when the U.S. could do better?

5/ What’s baffling is resistance to universal healthcare. This isn’t about politics—it’s about well-being. No one should go broke because they get sick. The U.S. has the resources to do better. Why not demand a system that works for everyone?

4/ The U.S. spends the most on healthcare but delivers worse results. Universal systems in countries of all sizes—from Spain to Germany—show quality care doesn’t require bankrupting citizens. The U.S. approach is the exception, not the rule.

3/ Economies of scale should make healthcare cheaper and better in larger populations—not more expensive and worse. Fixed costs (like infrastructure and admin) spread over more people reduce per-person costs. A larger system should be more efficient, not less.

2/ A common excuse is that the U.S. is too large compared to European countries. But this makes no sense. The EU, with a larger population, spends less per capita and achieves better outcomes. Think of EU countries as “states.” The U.S. could adopt a similar approach.

1/ The murder of Brian Thompson has sparked discussions about U.S. healthcare, and I’m stunned by how many defend a clearly failing system. Healthcare costs here are nearly double those of other developed nations, yet life expectancy ranks 48th. Why not demand better?

Most definitely. Tingbjerg Ground is indeed a special—and fun place.

Let me know if you decide to go and need contacts!

Obama narrating a nature documentary is exactly what I needed 😌
