Well this is wild. # cybersecurity # North Korea # espionage # organisedcrime and probably # Slave workers I love how @frederikkulager.bsky.social explains the internet in this series. But this might be the wildest yet. https://www.zetland.dk/historie/sde06zSH-moGnNy6v-788f3

I often think it is a disservice that climate change activism has focused on suffering and changes "over there" - our natural environment and cultural life will be as impoverished just as much by loss of familiar species and traditions as the Inuit hunting narwhal or Pacific Islanders forced to […]

Wealthy Danes take their kids to see coral reefs and glaciers "before they disappear", we will mourn the loss of beech forests in spring, surely one of the great magnificent sites on earth, all the same. https://fediscience.org/@Ruth_Mottram/115241013909038690 Ruth_Mottram - Danish national […]

Danish national anthem sings that Denmark will last as long as the beech trees are reflected in the blue waves of the sea. I have often wondered which we lose first: beech trees or #sealevelrise. This from @AarhusUni et al suggests it will be the trees […]

Really good write up of the history and current directions we are going in #climatemodelling https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-climate-scientists-saw-the-future-before-it-arrived-20250915/

Some fantastic suggestions in the replies to this cry for help regarding our #AppleGlut. I started with the marvellous suggestion 🙏of @vicgrinberg of a clafoutis like apple sharlotka. Absolutely delicious 😋 That's going in the family food canon. The next […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

Have picked around 120kg of apples from a single tree (variety is Pigeon - smallish, red, good keepers, often used at Christmas in Denmark), but no way we'll manage to eat them all before they go bad. Your suggestions for recipes with apples?

Good morning! If you’re on mastodon.social (or another server running nightly builds) you can begin quoting posts in your posts (quooting?) starting today. Remember, you control whether you can be quoted, and call always retract your post from a specific quote. And you can quote me on that!

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com p.s. this week I am on a USA/Canada tour with my new book. Details and preorder links at tomgauld.com

One of the big successes we had with @OceanIceEU was bringing in our friends at NASC in #Ukraine. Their deployment of floats in Bransfield strait closed one of our big gaps and now we're seeing the data... It's pretty interesting!

Kicking off the @OceanIceEU annual meeting with some insitu observations with #ECR Shenjie Zhou. Get the data + preprint at the QR code in the image below. Will also go into @soos map

A really excellent #unbreakingnews podcast this morning. #cybersecurity, the environmental challenges of the #greentransition and #fintech's but now pay later trap. Plus the religious fight back against "satanic" music bravo @eurcorrespond.bsky.social […]

Reminder that 100,000 people marched for Trans Pride in London earlier this year, but because they weren't violent fascists, there was minimal press coverage, unlike the Nazis today. https://www.them.us/story/london-trans-pride-march-turnout-record-uk-transphobia

[Mention of fascist memes] Ok I did it, I went to look up what Groypers are this morning. This cartoon (found on blue sky) was helpful.

Meanwhile, my Danish pension age is 70 (or, as pension age is linked to life expectancy maybe later). The phrase in Danish politics "where will the money come from?" is often used negatively, but it at least grounds expectations. France and Britain are in thrall to pensioners - […]

Really BlueSky? Are you really going to make we look up what a "groyper" is? I'm not sure that's a good idea. I'm not going to enjoy finding out, am I? Tell you what, I'll go and have a cup of tea and discuss cats and cybersecurity and climate change and hiking with good views and great book […]

Heh yes. Pretty much this. "Much more will be written about proposals to build massive undersea walls to hold up Antarctic ice sheets, drill bore holes in Greenland to pump out lubricating meltwater, or scatter glass beads over glaciers. As informed and erudite I'm sure this will be, I don't […]
