this is a terrific opening paragraph for a dystopian pulp novel released in 1997

I have been looking at El Niño forecasts and impacts all day. This chart from JRC is wild. Majority of models in the forecast ensemble move outside of all previous precedents.

this is wild— mahershala ali turned down a basketball scholarship to santa clara, so they offered that scholarship to….steve nash..

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Det er mig.

Some light summer reading

Summer has made it to Copenhagen. All the rental e-bikes are in bloom.

Are we willing to invest just five cents per person per year to maintain one of the world’s most important climate monitoring systems? That provides crucial information about a potentially existential risk for Europe?

Wild.

@kpelton.bsky.social This one showed up in Memories. Nine years ago. Time flies 😄

Hvad tænker de på i SF?

You should read my World Cup preview which is really about how not to use xG and why the Meat Wall is like the Tush Push. www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/...

This is an excellent pre-World Cup primer from @themlg.bsky.social www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/...

This is a disgrace.

Overall I like challenges in the NBA, but these last 30 secs suddenly feel like VAR.

Spurs in 5. I am rooting for a longer series (and maybe even a Knicks win), but Spurs beginning with two at home is tough.

need a German word for the disquieting experience of thinking a poster must be young because their views about the world have the raw dumbness of a teenager and then realizing they're in their 40s.

#Earthquake (#jordskælv) confirmed by seismic data.⚠Preliminary info: M3.9 || 25 km S of #Copenhagen (#Denmark) || 3 min ago (local time 16:14:34). Follow the thread for the updates👇

another great example of how short-form video is perfectly calibrated for advancing arguments that have great emotional appeal but fall apart under serious scrutiny

A new #Ebola outbreak has hit #DRCongo’s conflict-affected Ituri region, where insecurity and funding cuts limit access and worsen conditions. We’re supporting communities with education, cash aid, and preparedness for vulnerable children. Urgent funding and access are critical.

First day back at work from paternity leave is spent on a flight to Nairobi. Looking forward to seeing a lot of colleagues for the first time in forever. But leaving the little one for a week is painful 😅

10 år siden i dag. Det føles både som 5 og som 15 😅

Det er så hovedløst at uddannelse ikke tæller i forhold til at få permanent ophold www.berlingske.dk/synspunkter/...

At konspirationsteoretikerne har adgang til og indflydelse på den nationalkonservative yderfløjs politik er ingen overraskelse, men at der er dele af centrumhøjre der ikke tør indrømme at de her grupperinger er totalt ubrugelige som samarbejdspartnere er skuffende. www.bt.dk/samfund/chok...

Hele den “diskussion” af Samira Nawa er så åndet. “Hun bliver aldrig medlem af [indsæt gruppe]” giver ingen mening uden at definere gruppen præcist. Lige nu er det mest bare en masse mennesker som (med vilje) snakker forbi hinanden fordi de bruger forskellige definitioner.

DR taler med ham bag udregningen og han afviser på det kraftigste at den kan bruges som DF tror den kan www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli... Hvad med de spurgte Politiken om hvad de tænker om deres misvisende overskrifter?

Jeg tror ikke et kort er den optimale løsning her. Ikke når de fleste læser på mobilen. Og da slet ikke dette kort med denne projektion 😞

»Den DF-ansatte Mitchel Olivers angiveligt populære valgtest, der viser en stærk bias i retning af DF, er simpelthen for bims til, at den bør være at finde på nettet,« skriver debat- og kronikredaktør Emil Høj i denne leder.

Upopulær holdning, som jeg nok ikke får mange med på: En hel del af de kriminelle udlændinge som ikke kan udvises, er kun udlændinge fordi de danske regler for statsborgerskab er alt for stramme. Det danske samfund burde tage ansvar frem for at tørre dem af på andre.

Det er vigtigt at understrege: 1. Politikens fremskrivning var meget suspekt. 2. Selv HVIS man går med på dens antagelser og simplificeringer, så viser den IKKE muslimsk overtag. Meget langt fra. Det er indvandringen mellem 2025 og 2096 som skaber en stor gruppe. Ikke dem der allerede er her.

Det er helt vildt, så stor betydning den meget misvisende Politiken-artikel om 'Den Store Befolkningsforandring' har haft for den yderste højrefløj #dkpol www.information.dk/indland/2026...

Er der nogen i Kbh som ejer en udgave af dagens @information.dk som jeg må købe? Jeg kan simpelthen ikke finde en papiravis her til eftermiddag og jeg vil meget gerne have dagen i dag fordi det er min datters fødselsdag. Vi købte den også sidste år da hun blev født.

My personal forecast of what will happen on Iran: The Americans won’t have the patience for a long fight. Trump loves quick wins. The regime in Iran will take a sizeable hit and may even agree to some terms. But it will ultimately stay in power (like in Venezuela).

Hej @politiken.dk - Jeg kan se at visse politikere stadig refererer til den her og kæder det sammen med muslimsk indvandring. Kunne I ikke lave en opfølgning som understreger at jeres artikel PÅ INGEN MÅDE kan bruges sådan?

Building 👏 more 👏 housing 👏 reduces 👏 housing 👏 prices 👏 Even when the new housing is more expensive, it lowers the cost of the pre-existing housing, as richer people move out of older housing into the new ones.

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.

Something incredible is happening in the Magic: The Gathering community. The prolific MTG Youtube channel Tolarian Community College has raised $450,000 and growing for Trans Lifeline. Read our writer S. Baum's story here and go pitch in! www.erininthemorning.com/p/magic-the-...

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: open.substack.com/pub/shaemcla... Sæt et bogmærke og send den til folk hver gang de taler vrøvl om IQ og lande.

Åh, mit hjerte. Ditte 💔 politiken.dk/debat/debati...

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! You are very skilled at setting the interviewees up to provide great insight on the games.

@herringnba.bsky.social The kid knows what’s good (and love the colors) 😊

@rodger.bsky.social Only upside I can find these days is that Greenland is going to dominate College Handball one day.

3.5 months, just me and her. Starting today ❤️

@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.

This is fucking bleak responsiblestatecraft.org/isw-polymark... 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.
