Absolutely staggering numbers and facts!

Og det fortæller eddermame et meget klart budskab om hvor hamrende dum en ide afgrøder til bio brændstoffer egentlig er!

Det er svinene, der får folk til at flytte fra landsbyerne Jeg udsender en advarsel, direkte fra Jylland, hvor hovedparten af den årlige produktion af Danmarks 25-30 millioner svin foregår: Svineproduktion kommer med en høj pris for det omkringliggende samfun...

👏👏👏

Fuldstændig enig. Man kan ikke forvente, at folk skal bo på landet, hvis man ikke har en planlov, der beskytter landet som et sted, folk skal bo – og det starter med at man sætter klare grænser for det industrielle landbrugs hærgen

I mellemtiden kommer der lige en rapport fra lokalsamfundets bund. Rengøringen af de lokale tæpper er ikke helt hvad man turde håbe på - men både hunden og jeg affinder os med det her den 1.1. I morgen vil vi rejse os og tænke lidt over hvor vi kan gøre bare en lille forskel hver dag. Godt nytår.

As scholars of genocide, we demand an end to Israel’s atrocities | Open letter Within weeks, 400 colleagues joined our organization. We say: it is not too late to save lives. End the genocide now

‘demand and enforce a permanent ceasefire, an arms embargo, the immediate withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip, unimpeded distribution of humanitarian aid, and equality and self-determination for all Palestinians.’

Gaza sulter.
Over 2 mio. er fordrevet og presset sammen på 12 % af Gaza. Mad og medicin blokeres.
875 er dræbt i forsøg på at få mad.
Nu må nødhjælpsarbejdere selv stå i kø.
Vi kræver våbenhvile og adgang: amnesty.dk/gaza-vi-ser-...

Danish 'Ghetto policy' in UK? (2/2)

Was on GBN, as Tories leader consider 'controversial Danish ghetto policy'. Explained about the policy. Outlined what don't work:

The ghetto list - We don't solve social housing problems by demolition, discrimination and displacement.

The list is a barrier

Danish 'Ghetto policy' in UK? (1/2)

Was on GBN, as Tories consider 'controversial Danish ghetto policy'. Explained about the policy. Outlined 3 thing that works in DK, combination of:

'A welfare state', 'Investments in education, employment and housing' and 'Long-term area-based initiatives'

The moment (5 minutes before you have to rush Home to prepare for Sct. Johns Eve) you realize that you didn’t bring a raincoat because the weather was just all smiles in the morning. #danish_summer

I saw a meme with Stephen King
Urging us to read more scary book
But seriously
These days King is to our time
What Carl Barks was to Duckville
The analogy is not King But Faulkner
Men of a incestoid culture of decay
Having taken the scene
Raging around in sound and fury
Cruelty and bitterness

4) A key part of this is the Fragmentation of the state, cities and social collectives. Counter intuitively these fragmentations do not mean less state as governing fragmented societies requires massive resources new institutions and forms legitimization. Something we need to research empirically.

3) - not toward a neoliberal doing away with the state (even when some harbor these wishes) - but toward a radical reorganization of the state to turn state power against those parts of the state which (re)produce and underpin public goods, care and solidarity. What we term #policy_schizophrenia.

2) We contest that this righttilting should be the result of the weaponization of language and the spread of fake news etc. (these are important factor but not driving dynamics). Rather we must comprehend the resent political developments as part of (long-term) struggles over the state

1) We used the opportunity to expand our and model of 'the state as nested fields' which can helps us generate empirical research on the ongoing right tilting of political space across major democracies around the globe from Denmark, Italy and Portugal to the US, Brazil and India.

Just returned from UPorto where I together with @Kristian_Delica gave two talks on #Fragmenting_Cities our new book.

We talked about:
a) Symbolic weapons (production of)
b) States systematic uses of SW
c) SW at the center of contemporary struggle over the state
d) #Policy_Schizophrenia

Calling all urban sociologists. This is a fantastic opportunity from LSE Sociology!

Madsen: Egelund bliver en af Danmarks dyreste ministre Regeringen holder trods opblødninger fast i et ideologisk fantasifoster af en universitetsreform, som risikerede at fjerne os fra den vej til velstand, som et nyt historisk hovedværk viser, at Danmark...

Enig med @kristianmadsen.bsky.social : Små forbedringer, store problemer
Studerende søger i blinde, forskningsmiljøer presses, og de nye modeller er urealistiske og overser humaniora og samfundsvidenskab. Reformer skal styrke, ikke svække vores uddannelser!

2/2 steg der skete der også en modsvarende stigning i fatalisme og religiøsitet. Så en statsminister der medvirker til at undergrave tilliden til det politiske system og selv bliver ‘religiøs’ er ikke overraskende

R is much like SAS but of course much more powerfull. Problem is those whom have invested insanely in becomming proficient have little incentive to produce easy to use (point and click) front-ends (and thereby potentially devaluating thier investment in learning R).

I remember begenning in SAS which was a real bastard to learn. In comparison SPSS was just easy, smooth and sweet even if one early on learned of its many flaws not just in MCA and data management. But now if looks and feels like a GDR Trabant.
