One confusing thing about the liberal media is that it's extremely right-wing

My university has shockingly proclaimed that it "should be primarily for students from Zealand and Denmark, not for Bangladesh or elsewhere". Colleagues, please support us in this difficult time by signing the staff's open letter to the Board of Directors and Rectorate: forms.gle/Z4U6Z6qDePHm...

Hostility towards #academia and #immigrants is widespread. #Denmark is no exception. Under political and media pressure, earlier this week @roskildeuni.bsky.social decided overnight to close its Master's degree in Business Administration and Leadership (BAL) from 2026. 🧶 1/20

No diga comunicado, diga tunda.

Just a major sports publication manipulating a leading cyclist's (Jonas Vingegaard) quote to obscure his sympathy with protests against Israel. Cowardice in the face of genocide

For Danish-speakers, I have co-written an op-ed in @politiken.dk about Israels ecocide in Gaza and the necessity of thinking rising militarialism, imperialism and ecological crisis together. politiken.dk/del/Rg8Jg_AE...

If you ask such a system to explain a previous 'decision' it won't explain its process, it will generate words that read as a statically plausible sentence(s) which describe that sort of process.

Great piece on LLMs codepoetics.substack.com/p/the-tain-o...

🔥 Thrilled to host the 3rd Annual Socio-Economic Research Networking Day @roskildeuni.bsky.social —with 20+ brilliant minds and 12 sharp presenters from across Scandinavia 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴 from #Economics, #Sociology, #Anthropology, #Political #Ecology & #Development #Studies. 💡Join us next year at RUC!

So I wrote about why I declined my Fulbright grant and canceled my research stay at NYU. Free Khalil, free all political prisoners, free Palestine 🇵🇸 politiken.dk/del/mN-u9dAE...

Blatant attack on freedom on speech in Denmark - the Parliament forbids schoolchildren (!!) and youth party activists from discussing Palestine in schools. 'Orwellian' is usually hyperbole, but it applies straightforwardly here. Shame on Danish politicians politiken.dk/danmark/poli...

2/2 As a reminder, the abstract of the workshop is: Why is it that certain forms of environmental knowledge are held in higher regard than others? How can this be reconciled? How can both forms of knowledge be treated on equal par? In other words, how can decision-making processes be democratised?

Come hear @kmunro-econ.bsky.social talk about her exciting research in Copenhagen✨ The talk is free and open to everyone!

A bunch of fossil fuel companies that were already planning to shut down their coal plants anyway are going to be happy about this carbon-pulse.com/394149/

An aid ship heading to Gaza has sent out a distress signal after crew members say it was hit in a drone attack and has caught fire. There are 30 aid workers on board the Freedom Flotilla ship, which was attempting to break Israel’s 2-month aid blockade.

Pretty wild to see net zero, which was a way to bring carbon removal into mainstream policy, now being contrasted with carbon capture www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yes writing emails is a pain so instead of hiding behind an AI to do it for you like a coward you need to simply have the courage of your convictions and stand up for what matters and simply not reply to them like the rest of us

Sporting hypocrisy and double standards @bdsmovement.bsky.social bdsmovement.net/news/giro-d%...

I am just looking up a quote in a book I read a while ago, and getting pushed this useless AI 'research assistant' slop (using completely unnecessary computational energy). This is in software tailor-made for research and higher education. When will the madness end?

Helt vanvittigt take fra industrilandbruget på det her: Pattegrisene dør ikke, fordi soen ikke producerer nok mælk - de dør, fordi vi har skamavlet søerne så meget ud af en rådden tangent, at de får flere unger end hvad der er naturligt. Lav nogle regler for det, i stedet for at lade det eskalere.

Let's not mince words: Mahmoud Khalil was abducted and disappeared, without consideration of rule of law, by an authoritarian regime intent on crushing dissent and criticism. Free Mahmoud Khalil.

Det rene vanvid fra politiet - det her ligner mere smålig hævn end proportionel magtanvendelse. Fuldstændig uacceptabelt arrogance fra en person i en meget magtfuld position

@oliverstilling.bsky.social rammer hovedet på sømmet. @foljeton.dk

Today is publication day! I explain how agricultural inputs - which weren't even widely traded market goods 200 years ago - have become giant industries dominated by just a handful of transnational firms today. mitpress.mit.edu/978026255170... Many thanks to those who helped me along the way!

I am probably on some government lists now but at least I am in good company.

Not my field at all but this sounds kind of amazing

I wrote a thing for @srm360.bsky.social about solar geoengineering in the Arctic and how it's not particularly feasible in an increasingly securitised region. I also reflect on the dangers of it becoming a colonial and extractivist project. srm360.org/perspective/....

Sam Altman is just blurting out words now www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Der har været meget dum snak for nyligt om aktivister som 'antidemokratiske'. Vi tager til genmæle her: demokratiet kan ikke bestå uden civil ulydighed og politisk aktivisme.

🎯🎯🎯

Har skrevet om @madsejsing.bsky.social's nye bog 'Verden er ikke længere den samme' for Eftertryk. Hvor krydser klingerne egentlig mellem nymaterialister og økomarxister? Og er der et fælles projekt? Læs mit bud her: www.eftertrykket.dk/2025/01/12/k...

The capitalist state is compelled to support capital accumulation but no one is compelling these guys to be this stupid about how they try to do it.

Imperialmagten vil nu overveje at bekrige sin vasalstat, den noget mindre imperialmagt, der dog stadig vil være imperialmagt, og derfor nu er gerådet i vildrede over, at den store imperialmagt ikke længere respekterer den lille vasalstat som lille imperialmagt.

Really insightful and clear materialist analysis of the stupefying "AI" craze. It's about creating a demand for computation that is unnecessary and counterproductive for human (and nonhuman) wellbeing

Det fejlslagne udbud på havvindmølleparker afslører en dybere krise i de grønne energiinvesteringer. Verdens kapitalmarkederhar set på klodens fremtid og konkluderet, at den er en dårliginvestering Jeg har en analyse i @politiken.dk (teksten kommer nedenfor)

Wow. These are powerful remarks by Indermit Gill in his Foreword to the World Bank’s International Debt Report 2024, which has just come out. They are both timely and necessary as we approach the 4th FfD Conference, where discussions on an international solvency insolvency framework are critical.

I’m not expressly implying anything with this graph but

There is no practical way to achieve direct air capture at a scale that would allow extraction of fossil fuels to keep on going. This is a smokescreen dreamt up in Big Oil boardrooms - as Ketan makes very clear here.

New article! Really excited to share perhaps the most central outcome of our research on the security politics of solar geoengineering, led by @olafcorry.bsky.social and @duncanmclaren.bsky.social. Out now and open access in Review of International Studies doi.org/10.1017/S026...

skriver med @nikolajkornbech.bsky.social, @madsejsing.bsky.social, @mikkelkfrantzen.bsky.social og andre fra Det Grønne Forskernetværk om trepartens store og åbenlyse problematikker i @politiken.dk : politiken.dk/debat/debati...

Yesterday, Danish politicians agreed to the world’s first carbon tax on the agricultural sector. That's great. Unfortunately, the agreement reflects much of what is wrong with Danish climate politics: instruments are too weak and it relies on technological fixes. #dkgreen #dkpol

New op-ed (in Danish): Denmark's new climate policy for agriculture has been praised as progressive in international media. But in fact, the policy maintains the country's massive industrial animal husbandry and relies on speculative tech and voluntary carrot-measures. politiken.dk/debat/debati...

Nogle ting ændrer sig: Jeg selv og Kraka er kommet på Blueskye 👏 Andre ting ændrer sig ikke: Jeg kritiserer her, at den grønne trepartsaftale finansieres bl.a. via salg af CO2-kvoter.

Here, I will side with the posthumanists: we need a research programme to figure out if Marxism can be taught to pigs.

Yesterday, Danish politicians agreed to implement the world’s first carbon tax on agriculture. Food and agriculture account for around a quarter of global emissions. In Denmark, however, agriculture’s share of emissions is over a third and still rising. 1/6
