LA er så atomkraftliderlige at det er det eneste der kunne få dem til at stemme for højere skatter.

Really wish the asshole Europeans would understand that this isn’t the U.S. starting an imperial expansion. This is an eviscerated shell of a U.S. government being used as a weapon by *international* tech oligarchs to end traditional, democratic nations and replace them with a tech-run dystopia.

Berlingske er sådan, "sikke en lettelse, Trump har lovet han ikke vil invadere Polen, sorry, Grønland"

Ironically, at this point an actual civil war breaking out in the US would be likely to make the world safer, rather than more dagerous.

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes: these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.

Alle burde kunne se at i forhold til Grønland er den sikkerhedsmæssige retorik ren afledning, det de vil have er uhindret adgang til Grønlands råstoffer.

"subtil" dogwhistle fra SF...

Does this mean that a foreign country can bomb the US, kidnap Trump and his wife, and let him stand trial in their own country? For crimes against humanity? Anybody?

I admit I am quite difficult to satisfy when it comes to discussions of linguistic relativity. This episode was close, but no. Malotki did not refute Whorf on Hopi time, he refuted a strawman of his own making. Because Whorf did not think Hopi had no concept of time. He just argued it was different.

Nogle forskere har beskrevet oprindelige amerikanske skriftsystemer som"skrift uden ord". Det pudsige er at stort set ingen af de forskere har taget sig tid til at lære de sprog som skriftsystenernes brugere talte.

Hvert fjerde danske barn synes deres forældre har for travlt i julen! Og hvert fjerde barn er super glad for at deres forældre har tid til hjemmehygge. De to sidste synes forældrene skal chille the fuck out og lade dem scrolle i fred. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

On that time Johannes Fabian exchanged letters with Noam Chomsky. Obviously, in my own work, Fabian's language-centered anthropology has been far more influential on my thinking than Chomsky's linguistics

Morning in Holland

Sproget i medierne, ik... Selv når de prøver at integrere noget fynsk dialekt gør de det galt. Det hedder "tijliere".

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%. And the gap is growing. Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

Enhedslisten Sorø plakatophængningsdag

Det bliver et spændende kommunalvalg i Sorø kommune - Enhedslisten står i en måling til at fordobles til 8,6%! Man kan f.eks. stemme på vores kanondygtige spidskandidat Eva Flyvholm eller nr 2 på listen den eminente Rebecca-Broholm Little. Eller hvis man skulle være i det humør evt. på mig...

Près des deux tiers des espèces d’oiseaux au monde voient leur population décliner

The most powerful motivation to make me finish a task that is not particularly urgent and so has been waiting for a long while, is a looming deadline for an urgent and much more important but entirely unrelated task.

Wealth inequality in Europe keeps rising. A main reason is that income from wealth is taxed much lighter than wages, creating a tax system that is highly regressive at the top. This means that billionaires across Europe have lower taxes rates than normal working people.

Det skal åbenbart forbydes at omtale plantebaserede pølser som pølser. Men det danske ord "pølse" er defineret af sin form ikke af et bestemt materiale. At pølser ikke nødvendigvis indeholder kød kan vi se fordi der findes noget der hedder "kødpølse".

Så har jeg set morgennyhederne på tv2. Ikke særlig opmærksomt, medgiver jeg. Men hvordan kan de overhovedet ikke nævne, at et dansk folketingsmedlem er blevet pågrebet af Israel?

Just back from raiding Ireland. Here's the loot:

The professor is back on campus

Er det sprog de talte og skrevi den mexicanske storby Teotihuacan for 2000 år siden endelig blevet identificeret då vi kan begynde dechifreringen? Hvus man spørger mig og Christophe Helmke er svaret ja. Og det har @videnskab.dk gjort. videnskab.dk/kultur-samfu...

Økonom og lektor ved CBS Birthe Larsen: »Vi ved, at det påvirker børn negativt hele livet at vokse op i fattigdom, og at de har svært ved at kravle op igennem indkomstlagene. Den her undersøgelse giver et bud på, hvorfor det er så svært«, siger hun. Læs denne artikel!: politiken.dk/del/gUv3kYAE...

Jeg har et hot take: Folk der ikke interesserer sig for drømme, deres egne og deres nærmestes, har et fattigt indre liv.

“We studied more than 70 different elections that took place in 12 western European countries over several decades, and found that when mainstream parties take more anti-immigration positions, it leads to more support for the radical right, not less.”

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Først smadrer Socialdemokraterne folkeskolen. Ti år senere skyder de skylden for problemerne på lærernes og deres faglighed. Det er definitionen på at pisse på folk og fortælle dem at de lugter.

Jeg har lige hørt i radioavisen at to ud af tre i et parforhold er ramt af jalousi.

"I prefer fantasy to realism" "It's about the Qing dynasty, The Qing dynasty isn't fantasy dad!"

Those reading this as approval of Kirk’s killing are reading words that aren’t there. I don’t want to live in a world of normalized violence. Charlie Kirk spent his life ensuring we all have to live in such a world. We do everything a disservice to elide the reality of that.

Seems they have found their Horst Wessel.

Hvem andre end en ægte åndsbolle kunne være ordfører for åndet oprustning?

In a just world "libtard" would be a slur against libertarians.

Sometimes, just sometimes, you get a peer review you can read over and over just for the dopamine kick. (This is reviewer one, apparently reviewer two turns in their review next week 😬)

Så er der podcast! @videnskab.dk laver for tiden podcasts om mytologi, og jeg medvirker i det seneste afsnit om en Nahuatl version af den mesoamerikanske historie om helte-tvillingerne. videnskab.dk/kultur-samfu...

Currently fighting not to let the bureaucracy claim me and maintain my selfimage of a sexy murder poet. This fight is a no-win scenario.

A stupid meme is making the rounds again, claiming the Nahuatl word for avocado, "ahuacatl," means "testicle." FFS, no it, doesn't. Not any more than "nut" or "ball" does. Those are METAPHORICAL USES. Quit othering / ridiculing Indigenous languages. @magnuspharao.bsky.social explained this: 1/

Hvis miljøministeren ikke hurtigt får forbedret vandmiljøet og fiskebestandene drastisk kan han godt stikke Danmarks ny nationalfisk op hvor solen ikke skinner. Så jeg stemmer på gedden.

Small thoughts from Bordeaux: the nonexistence of toilet seats actually makes life simpler and more beautiful.

Potentially unpopular opinion after reading my first Terry Pratchett discworld novel: This is not good fantasy - in fact it is probably not even fantasy. But I liked it, and think I will read some more of them.
