Medlem af det norske folketing dropper X 👏 Tør man håbe, at 2026 bliver året hvor danske parlamentarikere, myndigheder og journalister gør det samme?

Perhaps worth remembering that polls about US intervention in Venezuela conducted before today are no longer informative. Expect public opinion to polarise very quickly (dampening any effect on Americans’ views of Trump):

Remarkable interpretation of US law.

LOL

I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela. The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

🤷🏻‍♂️

2026 has been a long year.

Hvis vi lige skal finde optimismen frem, er det trods alt heldigt, at USA har så gode erfaringer med at tvinge regimeskifter igennem. Det skal nok blive skidegodt i Venezuela.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Maduro has been captured by the U.S. according to Trump

Can someone make it culturally legible that a top Republican voice in the country thinks it’s very fun that he runs a non-consensual porn bot platform? Are most republicans just unaware of this?

Trods #dkmedier forkærlighed for X/Twitter som kilde til historier, er der påfaldende tavst om at Elon Musks platform nu kan bruges til at skabe AI porno-billeder af platformens brugere. Har set et fransk Ritzau telegram, men ingen selvstændig rapportering eller dækning af danske ofre.

Hej danske politikere, journalister og myndigheder. Hvordan forsvarer I fortsat at sværge til en platform, hvis chatrobot nu også genererer børneporno? Kan I også sidde det overhørigt?

🥳 Happy New Year: Why I’m optimistic about the future of plant-based and cultivated meat 🥳 We've come a long way in a very brief period. See attached for some "then and now" thoughts, from chapters 6, 7, & 11 of my forthcoming book Meat (on sale Feb. 3). Deets + preorder: meatbook.org/purchase

A little end of year analysis from me on the state of all things plant-based, and why eating a more plant-based diet is still one of the most impactful things people can do for society: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Foruroligende indblik i hvordan redaktører og journalister på New York Times bevidst anlagde en transfobisk linje i deres dækning. En blanding af anti-trans ideologi og appeleren til højrefløjen såvel som personlige karriereambitioner der normaliserede backlashet mod anerkendelsen af transkønnede.

A bit late to this excellent @paultlevin.bsky.social series (1-4) looking at whether Russia is winning. The answer has to be “probably yes” since plenty of folks in the US/Europe can’t or won’t see it as the primary adversary. All 4 parts are excellent. open.substack.com/pub/paultlev...

Rejoining the customs union might seem like a good start in improving Britain’s relations with the EU, but is not a quick fix. It would be better to keep chasing a bigger prize: closer alignment with the single market

European shares start 2026 by hitting a record high reut.rs/4aAEYD7

For The Czech Republic, 2026 will be a year unfolding the realities of "direct rule" of Andrej Babiš government: Persistant attacks on democratic institutions, just like the old PiS government in Poland or Orban in Hungary. So perhaps good bye to the Civil Service Act, an anti-corruption measure.

Strange story. Kapustin's "death" was a pretty big deal in the Russian press. Will they now renew the bounty on his head, or will they insist he is still dead?

In 2004, it took a full year to build 1GW of global solar capacity. Now, on average, twice that capacity comes online *every single day*. It's a massive, massive shift. #Signalsforchangingworlds 2

Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.” Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

First time I've spent NYE in Copenhagen since 2020. Usually I'm celebrating with my family in the countryside. The amount of fireworks since 6 pm was crazy. Back in the days, people fired a few rockets. Now it feels like everyone has those massive Katyusha batteries lighting up the sky nonstop.

Jeg tror ikke jeg har opfordret til at slette Meta-produkter i år, så jeg hellere se at komme i gang. Slet så de Meta-produkter. Antallet og indholdet af negative effekter overstiger langt eventuelle gevinster af produktet. #deleteMeta

Danmark køber flere F-35-fly fra USA i en tid, hvor landet i stadigt mindre grad fremstår som en allieret. Flyene er om noget symbolet på, hvor afhængige vi er af amerikanerne.

Russian oil collapse: December had record number of strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. Since August, drone sanctions have devastated the Russian oil industry, crippled revenues, and led to fuel shortages. And 2026 will be catastrophic as strike numbers keep rising monthly.

BREAKING UPDATE — University of Tehran Tuesday, 30 December 2025 (9 Dey 1404) Reports and circulating footage indicate that students at the University of Tehran are actively confronting and pursuing pro-government groups on campus. The Anti Islamic revolution has started in iran!

👀👌 Eliminating "Drones-Zhduns" is an extremely important daily task of the 110th Motorized Rifle Brigade's Unmanned Systems Battalion. Behind the scenes, the algorithms for reconnaissance and detection of such traps on the roads remain.

Major win for Saab as France places their order for 2+2 GlobalEye. Interesting to see whether ”Today's order underscores the robust partnership between Saab and France” hints at something more…

The same likely holds for Bluesky too.

Loupis is a pro-Russian disinformation agent and a massive idiot, but this highlights Elon Musk’s hypocrisy: Free speech for him and his supporters, none for those who disagree with him

🧵 1/5: Russia is rolling out broad tax hikes for 2026. VAT rises to 22%, small and medium-sized businesses lose exemptions, excises expand, and social contributions rise. This isn’t a tax reform, it’s a revenue grab in a stressed economy. kommersant.ru/doc/8315404

The important summit between the leaders of 🇺🇦 and the 🇺🇸 held at President Trump’s Mar-a-Largo resort, has been concluded. A quick update on the outcome: • Russia continues its war. • Russia continues to have the full support from the US. • Ukraine continues to not have a an American friend.

I am a staunch supporter - and proud - of the 🇩🇰Danish support to 🇺🇦Ukraine and it should continue unchanged as it is our first line of defence of European values, it is something we can and should be able to afford, and even if we couldn’t, we should make the budget available.
