I wish I could write like Beth.

Some news about active set methods.

For the second time in my life I am witnessing imperial decline.

Nye afsløringer. Regeringen lader landbruget forurene dit drikkevand uden at gribe ind. Og gæt hvem der betaler regningen!? Rigtig gættet. Det gør du og landets vandforbrugets, som skal betale milliarder til rensning af vandet. Skål!

Maybe Denmark should be inspired by Latvia.

Apps need to ask for permission to access the camera/microphone. The same should apply to the speaker. Some apps should never make a sound. 🔇

Re that last repost (from @davidallengreen.bsky.social) - I’ve been reflecting lately that the stuff we did in History at school on the weaknesses of the Weimar Constitution missed the real point. It had its flaws, but the real problem was a lack of will to defend democracy and the rule of law.

The way to go.

its wild how slippery objective consensus reality is right now

It’s a shame no one had the power to bar Trump from office four years ago www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains

Is this the end? www.slowboring.com/p/waning-day...

So today we had confirmation that the US is now actively trying to take territory from Denmark, a democratic ally in one case, and in another case give land from democratic Ukraine to dictatorial Russia.

Ignoring the EV evolution is likely to be a bad idea.

The rapid decline of American science has few precedents in history, argues @rossandersen.bsky.social. We are witnessing an unparalleled act of self-sabotage:

Relying on Energy import Russia was stupid. Relying on Energy import from Trumps US is close to be equally bad.

If Donald Trump wanted to give Russia a helping hand with their summer offensive, it would look exactly like what we are seeing. That is my point in this video, where I also discuss the air war and give a status on the frontline situation. #Ukraine

Ukrainian security from Russian assault is by far the most vital European "national" security concern. That we aren't prepared to enforce red lines vs Russia is carte blanche for them to undermine security and stability especially by meddling in our politics and (social) media.

RIP Brian Wilson.

Don't be fooled by any of Trump's performative BS. Unless he actually pushes for sanctions, this is the crocodile tears of a narcissistic sociopath. Also, note that he blames Zelensky as much as Putin for the war--those bad Ukrainians, asking to be invaded!

We need to consider Putin's ideological reasons for fighting in Ukraine if we want to understand why he is so reluctant to engage in peace negotiations. That is my topic in this video.

It's hard to tell if the most agonizing thing about the Istanbul negotiations was Russia's blatant delay tactics, which seemingly worked on Donald Trump, or the excessive media hype about a possible meeting between Putin and Zelensky. In this video, I take a look at the diplomatic theater.

“The thing about subversiveness in a real dictatorship is it has to be so ambiguous that it’s not even clear it’s subversive,” Daniel Kehlmann tells @galbeckerman.bsky.social:

So looks like Trump caved to the Houthis so he could concentrate on defeating America’s greatest enemy.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Suddenly it seems like extraordinary foresight that we in Denmark have had our own national debit card since 1983.

I never thought that fear of detention or deportation would have been on the list of reasons for making conferences hybrid, but this seems compelling www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

UK could get rid of Liz Truss when her policy was proven to be a disaster.

Maybe Trump does not hold all the cards.

Great thread on why Trump's tariffs and attacks on U.S. institutions is idiocy of historic proportions.

Hahahahahahaha! “That sounds like the dialling codes for the countries”

"The biggest flaw in the American analysis of the situation is that this is a war about defining a border... but that's not what this war is about. The war (in Ukraine) is about the political control of all of Ukraine" - Danish Military Analyst @anderspucknielsen.dk chats with Euromaidan Press

New game: end to end encryption, but the other end is a set of random people.

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?
