I have probably also done this, when I was younger/before having kids. But not too much I hope.

I have been struck by how loud some people will talk/shout right next to a stroller with a sleeping kid in it.

I went on paternity leave end of December and if my Twitter feed is to be believed my kind of job will be obsolete by the time I get back in April.

Paternity leave is going well. Except for the fact that we apparently decided to live on Hoth.

Den her gennemgang er forrygende:

Hi American friends.

I know a lot is going on.

But I think more domestic opposition to the Greenland obsession is warranted. I don’t think we see enough from you all. I know the whole situation is unbelievable and ridiculous. But still.

All the best from Copenhagen

I took this photo back in 2012 when I was on my way to the icecore drilling camp on Greenland.

It is from the inside of an American Hercules plane (NY Air National Guard) that flew us 300 miles to the centre of the Ice Sheet and landed there with skis.

Such a different time.

@carlmarket.bsky.social you did such a great job on coverage yesterday!

@andy.luckypaper.co I have just started listening to your podcast. Been going through the backlog and in my ears today you mentioned Rene Redzepi’s recipe just as I walked around in the neighbourhood of Noma 🙂 Serendipity.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

Betting on wars and conflict. Of course there is going to be some really bad incentives. This is like out of an 80's science-fiction movie.

Enig.

Det er måske også meget at kræve af en enkelt artikel at den kan det hele.

Men der er brug for i en eller anden forstand at forklare meget tydeligt hvor fringe og uvidenskabeligt det er.

Og desværre er der også nogle danskere som er prominente i gruppen af grifters som gerne vil sælge disse alternative virkeligheder til dem der gerne vil købe det.

De er bondefangere. Ikke videnskabsmænd.

Hvis der havde været lidt mere plads, så kunne det have været godt at understrege det endnu tydeligere hvor langt de her holdninger er fra den moderne videnskab.

Hele ideen om at Somaliere har en IQ på 68 og at alt er bestemt af dine gener (og race) er IKKE viden. Det er det pure nonsens.

Den her artikel af @mathiassindberg.bsky.social var et virkelig godt overblik over hvordan gener og arv er kommet på dagsordenen igen. Især for det yderste højre.

Had a funny situation yesterday with the young ones (age 12) that I play D&D with.

They had never heard about vampires not being able to cross running water and thought it was the most stupid thing they had ever heard of. We had to google for them to be convinced that I was not messing with them😄

RightWingCope on twitter dot com posts a thumbnail from Kurt Caz wherein various details of a British high street are changed to make them more threatening to racists - shops have their storefronts replaced by writing in Arabic and a random friendly black guy has a mask superimposed on his face as if he is a robber. In the original Caz himself is giving the black bloke a thumbs up but he has removed that from his thumbnail, suggesting he was trying to deceive the man.

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.
