Not at all surprising that @gideonrachman.bsky.social nails it in his reading of the NSS here. "The Trump administration view of 'western civilisation' is based on race, Christianity and nationalism. The European version is a liberal view founded on democracy, human rights and the rule of law ..."

Replacing batteries can be disheartening, but you need to look at the positives as well as the negatives.

Har #sldk klubberne overvejet at uddele deres egne priser, sådan som de nu respektivt fortolker dem i overensstemmelse med FIFAs værdisæt, ifm weekendens kampe? Fx kunne #ksdh jo passende lige markere Nicolai Poulsen med en buket blomster samt en Fredspris i midtercirklen inden kampstart i Randers.

in the movies this is the screensaver on the computers at the world’s most evil company

But less than a decade ago, a computer model being able to complete real world human tasks and generate *any* revenue would've been science fiction. If you want to understand what's happening, look at the rates of change. Don't mistake stocks and flows.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Series that wouldn’t have happened in the Nordics (plot would have no real life basis): - Squid Game: no one gets into such debt for such reasons - White Lotus (1st episode): no small talk with strangers so half of the interactions wouldn’t take place

When working with futures and foresight, I'm rather often asked what it exactly is that I do. The answer is sometimes vague, but that's because tasks are indeed pretty varied. My day today started with meeting a student, I'm supervising for his Master's thesis on Chinese EV manufacturing in 2035.

Egon havde forklaret off-side-reglen mindst 100 gange for Henriette. Og så pludselig en dag faldt ti-øren. Egon smilede stolt. "Hvordan er det så med det dér hands?" Egon gik over på værkstedet og fandt Fernet Branca'en frem. #nanostories

This, by @giacgrassi.bsky.social, remains one of the simplest and best climate visuals

Every technology problem is three social problems in a trench coat

All time top 10 bassline. RIP Mani.

One of the best baselines ever. So simple but huge. RIP Mani. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D2q...

In the good old days (read: a few months ago) a deal with OpenAI was guaranteed to lift your share price, but AI deal hype isn’t what it once was. Read the full @alphaville.ft.com story, with even more charts if you can believe it, on #FTEdit 👉 on.ft.com/4ieGn4a

Oh my

I'm reading the World Bank's 2024 International Debt Report, and what a blunt way to kick-off such a document! Not long ago, so many people in development policy circles were indeed repeating the "from billions to trillions" phrase as a silver bullet for development financing and global development.

He’s on a mission from God.

Tuomas Kuhmonen tutki väitöskirjassaan yhteiskunnan monimutkaisten ruoka-, energia-, liikkumis- ja yhdyskuntajärjestelmien vaihtoehtoisten tulevaisuuksien ennakointia. Näiden järjestelmien mahdollisten tulevaisuuksien ennakointi on hänen mukaansa kriittisen tärkeää. www.utu.fi/fi/ajankohta...

It's a remarkable trajectory, since Paris in 2015, but especially since Copenhagen in 2009. The US and increasingly Europe have washed their hands of a catastrophe of their own making. And the Rest is solving it for themselves with investment and tech from China.

One of the reasons why Finland is the happiest country in the world is that the public broadcaster Yle sends a live feed of the first 8 weeks of a pack of puppies every fall. It’s already the fifth edition of ”Finland’s most therapeutic live feed”. This is what I call value for my tax money

Hvis OB tager point i aften, har Tobias Bech scoret på udebane mod hele den øvrige #sldk top 6. Et i Haderslev, et i Parken, to i Odense, et i Brøndby og et i Herning. Stabilt. (Han scorede også mod Silkeborg, men dem har #ksdh foreløbigt kun mødt hjemme.)

Incredible; I can't believe this really happened. The books are going to be Theranos-level bonkers. "Several former Neom employees likened the working culture to the atmosphere in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Emperor’s New Clothes."

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.

Drogba's so cool, damn

I'm not saying November is a grey month here in Finland. But it is a pretty grey month here in Finland.

📢 New publication: "Cruel utopia of the seas?" 📢 As part of the #GYROSCOPE project on green and digital transition of maritime logistics, we have a new article on hydrogen hype out in Energy Research & Social Change: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Unprecedented events are discontinuity made manifest. Discontinuity is now the context for every decision we make, whether we can admit it to ourselves or not.

Can you guess what happened when Denmark doubled the amount of parental leave parents could take? ... ... ... Intimate partner violence declined as a direct result.

De underliggende parametre og alt det dér... Nå, det skal jo være stolpe-ud på et tidspunkt. #ksdh #sldk

"Economic change in all periods depends, more than most economists think, on what people believe." (Mokyr, p. 1)

Finnish #intelligence #history keeps having wild plot twists. A retired Finnish spy-catcher with probably a world record in catching Soviet “illegals” (“at least” 25) got the largest lottery jackpot in Europe - and used the millions to do and help counterintelligence. www.hs.fi/tutkiva/art-...

Jeg er stadigvæk en lille smule indigneret over hvor hårdt den finske regering girfælger drømmen om at sælge militære isbrydere til USA. Kan nogen mon forestille sig, hvor de skulle anvendes? Så meget for #nordisksolidaritet.

Germany: "...they should be asking critical questions about long-term resilience, rather than sensationalizing scenario planning & crisis exercises." #futuresliteracy #societalresilience

Very cool piece on the importance of strategic foresight and forward-looking strategy by @bressansar.bsky.social for @gppi.bsky.social : gppi.net/2025/10/08/g...

Det er præcis det. Der er nogle rystelser på vej, som vi slet ikke er kompetent forberedte på. Et skifte i vores måde at se os selv, hinanden og verden på. Lige dele spændende og skræmmende.

In memoriam...

Finland will deploy a detachment capable of identifying and countering drones such as those sighted over several Nordic airports in recent weeks.

Team Europe trolling Trump after winning The Ryder Cup 🤣💀

The chief paradox of the next few decades is going to be that aging countries around the world need new people, but can't get them because they don't want the "wrong kind" of people

This only happens to you once

Why offer a report on future threats when you don't care about the future?

læs Jonas Algers fremragende analyse afhvordan Kina er milevidt foran vesten, når det handler om den grønne energiomstilling - ikke bare i Kina, men globalt. Deres nuværende investeringer i udlandet overgår nu, når vi kontrollerer for inflation, Marshall-pakken til Europa efter WW2.

I cannot believe we live in this era
