Sure. Go to Antarctica and do that.

What we see crumbling right now is not the rules-based international order. It’s the Western security order. They are two different things. The former never existed.

‘The US can already get what it wants under the current arrangement’ people keep saying as if facts and logic has anything to do with this. It’s big and shiny and he wants it. And he got angry that the Danish PM, a woman no less, called it ‘absurd’ the first time he aired it. So he dug himself […]

This is not good

Damn. Motzfeldt looks pressed 😓

… dude, I… Everything is wrong. Everything.

I need university administrators (and probably some other people too, but definitely university administrators) to understand something: you cannot motivate your faculty to do more research or better teaching. They are already maximally motivated people. They did not get the job by being […]

RE: https://mastodon.world/@SuneAuken/115847266656778411 I haven't the foggiest idea what the [redacted] US government is going to break today to distract from the Epstein files. But can I just say that talking about the Epstein files is a great thing to do today?

RE: https://journa.host/@videnskabdk/115853372653477356 Dette her er SÅDAN et skidt take. Handel med territorier skete mellem kolonimagter i strid med alt hvad vi idag ville kalde for ordentlig eller lovlig praksis. Hvorfor skal vi spekulere i et sådant scenarie?

Danes going “well ACTUALLY, in 1917 when we sold the West Indies, the US promised to not oppose our sovereignty over Greenland!” as if anyone gives a shit.

Fraser som ”Sverige ska bli ledande på digitalisering” eller ”i framkant med AI”, är som att säga ”Sverige ska ha FLEST bildskärmar på arbetsplatserna”. Dvs det finns ingen tanke bakom vilket mål man har, man tittar bara på medlet […] [Original post on mastodonsweden.se]

This book is from 1979. The accuracy with which it describes a reality still present is excruciating. (Edward Said: The Question of Palestine)

Finished a book. Cracked open a new one. This NYE is shaping up!

Headline from Danish public service media: “Putin: If Europe wants war, Russia is ready”. The article goes on to explain that this statement was prefaced by him saying that Russia does not want war. Imagine if they chose to go with the other option for a headline […] [Original post on zirk.us]

Does anyone know where this video is taken? I know it's in Kyiv and from all the people with suitcases, I gather it's a train station. But I don't know if there are more train stations in the city or if this is the central one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy7NmgS6UfI

Where has @thisemailfindsyou been all my life and why I am only just learning of its existence now 😭

Does anyone know of an audiobook subscription service that has a wide variety of academic titles (so not Mofibo/Storytel or Libby) and is not made up of Pure Evil (so no Audible/Amazon)?

Today at work I made students draw up an operation to kick Danish invaders out of southern Sweden and counterinvade. Some set up a puppet government in Copenhagen while others debated access to Legoland.

"Jeg kan maerke der er en kagemetafor på vej." 😭 Jeg har sagt det foer og jeg siger det igen: Bakspejl på DR er det bedste (samtids)historieformidling som findes i det danske medielandskab.

Instead, they made it louder.

City walk in Warsaw focusing on the reconstruction of the city after WWII. Our guide told us how the destruction - or rather complete flattening - of the city, its culture and heritage was premeditated as Hitler’s vendetta against the Poles. This archway is all that […] [Original post on zirk.us]

I am about to try and weane myself off of big American tech. It feels like a Sisyphus task. Whenever these smaller new companies with nice values get big enough to actually work with multiple people and devices, they get bought/taken over/corrupted and we’re back to square one. Remember when […]

Would you appreciate having your country’s preferred nuclear strategy explained in meme format yes or no

In the fall I was at a Swedish conference on psychological defence, where I heard a super interesting talk on how both production and consumption on art and culture increases in countries at war. War has so many ripple effects beyond the battlefield. (Link to article in Danish) […]

Books are good. Let’s hear it for books! From: @idlehand https://mastodon.sdf.org/@idlehand/114044906391862082

A colleague is using Hanna Arendt to understand military out-of-area 'stabilisation efforts'. It is so good. Morale of the story: less pre-concieved notions of what 'we' want to achieve, more atunement to local contexts and possiblities.
