I just had a twenty minute chat with Mitch McConnell. We discussed FIFA corruption and whether Egypt should have had that penalty before the Argentinian 3-2 goal.

Also, if any of you want to contact deceased relatives, my fees are very reasonable.

Denmark is about to spend billions on frigates.

How about we save one frigate and buy 100 of these for the Baltic. Put interceptor drones on them, and they'll likely stop a lot more Russian drones a lot cheaper than any frigate ever would.

New car sales in Denmark are virtually 100% electric now. The number of electric cars on the road has now reached that expected in 2030.

Det tætteste vi i denne omgang kommer på @bsdphk's havarikommission

DCI Barnaby yet again stumbles upon a murder case in a quaint village. Questions start piling up when he uncovers some of the locals linking up through an obscure computer network known as Mastodon:

Where is the mysterious John Mastodon? What exactly is bloomscrolling? And who is ready to murder for the perfect image of a clump of moss?

Denmark is only 18th. We need to increase our efforts!

Hey @kravietz , if you have the time, I've been wondering: What has been the reaction in Poland to the fact that the president vetoed Poland receiving lots of EU money to build up Polish defense? Is it going to change anyone's opinion on his party?

Fantastic map! It's so clear to see some of the borders between municipalities.

@mszll , is that an artifact of the data, or is it real evidence of how much local politics matters for bikeabilitiy?

I've heard #teflon pans are a source of #PFAS . How bad is it? And what are the best alternatives?

I also have a stainless steel pan, but stuff sticks on it much of the time when I'm cooking, am I doing it wrong?

Boosts welcome!

Church of Jeff KNOWS that the face in this image is AI-generated and has left it up, no clarifying edit.

This is misinformation at a critical time and confuses and delays the hunt for Renee Good's murderer.

I recommend to report and block.

Now would be a really nice time for the US Congress to explicitly withdraw any kind of authorization that could be claimed by Trump for military action against Greenland.

(And a load of other places too, but this one matters much to me and would have a decent chance of passing)

Highly recommended thread! (You can just ignore the pictures)

If a nation's leader can be controlled by foreign threats to their personal safety, is that nation really sovereign?

This plot shows that every time electricity supply doubles, GDP goes up by about 80% (the power law exponent is 0.85).

Starting from the left on the plot, a couple of solar modules per household is enough to double power.

Many poor regions are rapidly deploying solar and batteries - it's cheap and doesn't need the government building grid.

So many people have good things coming soon: Light, phone charging, fans. Later on: Fridges, tv, no-smoke cooking, air conditioning.

@anderspuck
Follow-up question: What effects would it have on Russia?
@anderspucknielsen.dk

The Copenhagen Convention allows any ship "innocent passage" in and out of the Baltic through the Danish Straits.

It is becoming increasingly clear that Russia may send ships that are in fact not "innocent", whatever that means.

So I'd like to ask @anderspuck @anderspucknielsen.dk our local Danish navy expert:

Under what conditions could you see Denmark block Russian (or Russian-controlled) ships from transiting the Straits?
